Do you feel like you have been more/less productive (at work and/or home) during pregnancy?

    I am sure you can guess - just because I asked the question - that I am waaaaaaaay less productive. 

    I am so tired, but also just unmotivated. It's also hard right now to sit at a computer or to stand up in the kitchen for any length of time.

    I'm in 2nd tri and actually still on summer break, but I am definitely less motivated. Plenty motivated to do fun nursery crafts, but not at all motivated to change anything on my fall syllabi. It's going to be a "just get through it" semester for me.

    I'm in second tri. I know I felt better by now with my 2 pregnancies that made it this far. Unfortunately with this pregnancy I am still feeling really lousy. I am just hoping that this nausea doesn't last the entire pregnancy.

    I completely agree with @birch113  I'm still waiting on that "energy burst."  I definitely have more energy than first tri but no where near as productive as I was in April LOL

    My 1st tri was DRAMATICALLY less productive, but as the 2nd tri is rolling around, it's a little bit better.

    I feel my productivity level is about the same as ever. I did notice in 1st tri being much more tired at the end of the day. Now in 2nd tri, I need to keep up with hydrating myself otherwise I am dragging and my ankles are puffy by the end of the day. I am on my feet most of the day, so that doesn't help I'm sure, but it does keep me moving!

    You have a VERY good reason to be less productive...  one more day until your due date!  Woooooo!  Soooo excited for you!

    I'm 1st Tri and waaay less productive.  I told a co-worker the other day I feel like I'm failing forward...which isn't good when you are calculating all of the executives bonuses in the company!

    1st tri and I feel like I have mono most evenings. I'm exhausted and just crash so early. Definitely less productive and very thankful for my wonderful husband who is spoiling me right now!

Yes!  I mentioned that to DH and he said, "Well, I think it's just that your energy level is supposed to be back to what it was pre-pregnancy, not that you suddenly have more energy than you did before you were pregnant."  

    I'm 2d tri and I will say that my energy level is probably about where it was pre-pregnancy.  As for productivity, my work productivity is about the same (we've actually, blissfully, slowed down a little bit in the last week or so).  At home, I'm being more productive just because I have so much I need to do before LO gets here and I'm looking at the calendar and just watching the time fly away.

    I've been consistent at work, but at home I'm more productive now in 2nd tri. No energy bursts, but I'm feeling more confident in this pg so I think that's why I'm more productive now. In 1st tri everybody jumped my ass if I so much as lifted a finger lol.
