  Congratulations! Zoning out is totally normal--I couldn't think about much of anything else for the first week or so after my BFP. It does get (somewhat) better...

  I'm sorry - I could only focus when I absolutely had to. I would bring my laptop to bed and that helped when I had to get work done. But when I wasn't working, I was eating or sleeping. It's really hard, but the second trimester gets easier. I feel you!

  Haha, I'm in the 3rd tri re-zoning period. I've found with too much zoning, getting up to take a walk seems to help. And trying to set small goals of "I will do this, then take a walk" and those little moments of extra effort help.

  Me too!  When I can focus, I want to read about how I need to stop eating and drinking everything I love and the symptoms I will be getting at my 23.5 week I've already taken 45 books out of the library and installed 14 apps.  

  Thanks ladies - I think I'll try getting up and walking around (which isn't tough since I'm peeing every 5 minutes) and writing lists.

  It's an exciting problem to have!

  I promise it gets better.  I had really bad MS and could not do much but puke and sleep.  Then around 14 weeks it all started getting better.  I get compliments on my cute little bump and feel great.  The only problem is that I have so much energy that my coworkers have trouble keeping up.  They miss my first tri.

  BFP on IVF #2 6/29/2012. Beta #1 7/3 = 522; Beta #2 = 1180; Beta #3 = 6491

  Congrats!

  For me, there was little I could do to combat the fatigue.  I actually had to use my office floor as a bed a few times.  It was sad!  It does get better though...but I would say you have a LONG ways to go.  Hang in there:)

  I'm a little over 4 weeks from going on leave and I can't focus to save my life...on anything.  They weren't kidding when they said 1st and 3rd trimesters had similar challenges.  If I could sit and stare at my cube wall ALL day, I'd be so happy.  I'm doing my best to hang in, but luckily my team is made up of a lot of moms, and I am being given a little slack.

  I had to go out to my car and power nap all the time during my first trimester.

  Falling asleep as soon as I stop walking is one of my first indications that I'm pregnant - WELCOME to the mommy club. It will ease up at some point.
