2nd Trimester

why is it since I got pregnant I can no longer work?

I have absolutely NO desire to work.

As in, NONE.

It's so irritating, it's not like I'm busy, but now I spend all day bumping and looking at baby stuff.  I need to get my a$$ in gear, I'm moving across the country in 4 months and having a baby in 3, and getting out of the Navy in 4.

Damn.

Re: why is it since I got pregnant I can no longer work?

  • Dude, my work is going to be insane from now until I give birth.  I'm picking up workload from another girl who's going on maternity leave next month, and have to get all my major testing/reports done before I go on leave.  I'd usually have until June to finish, but I have to get it done before mid March.  Ugh! 

    But it'll make time fly, right?

    Also, as I've said before, no bumping at work.  :-(

  • The baby is taking over your mind:-)
  • Ooh yeah, I have total pregnancy brain - I thought it would get better after the anticipation building up to finding out the sex was over, but now I'm constantly looking at things for my little girl :) I don't think I'll ever have my full brain again.
  • you're good though...I NEVER had a desire to work :) lol
  • I have been worthless at work for months now :(
  • I have NO motivation at all!  And tomorrow starts my busy year end close time (yeah accounting!).  After that is done, then I have to start training my replacement while I am out (I have NO backup), but they have yet to decide if they are hiring a temp or if they are pulling another accountant in the dept to do my job.  They better decide quick - cause these last few weeks are going to fly by!

    Ditto this.  I totally lack concentration and feel like a slacker.  I do what has to be done...but I really need to get my focus back.  I doubt this will happen any time soon.  :(

    Umm, yes, me too.

    Between still running to the bathroom to throw up, Nesting/Bumping all day, checking Facebook and email, stalking all the baby bargain sites, and generally doing nothing .... I'm shocked they haven't come down on me harder. Ohhhhh well!!!

  • I haven't been able to think at work since week 4 when I found out I was pregnant! All I can think about is the baby and if its a boy or a girl and how I want the room to be sat up and what kind of outfit I want to bring him/her home in! haha All this stuff constantly runs through my mind and it seems to happen worst at work. I can't imagine how it will be when I start college back monday and start with my lab classes! I'm going to have a hard time!
  • Demotivation hit me 3 weeks ago. I chalk it up to dealing with a very high stress 2 months @ work, OT every week for 9 weeks, & two work trips. I've never got that 2nd tri "burst of energy" you always hear about either. I think I just wore myself out.?
