Anyone feeling a large decrease in motivation, focus and drive?
Im so disorganised. I cant seem to get much done at all. Im not working and do have the odd nap, but feel like Im unable to form a whole thought or finish one task! Is this hormones?
Im considering putting myself on a written schedule. Im not sure what else to do!
When I do get my drive it seems I run low on energy half way throught the task, and need a break, then Im frustrated because its taking me longer to do everything. I cant imagine how I will accomplish anything in the third trimester!

Any one else ahve this issue? Any sugestions?

I hear ya! I find that I just want to lay in bed and watch tv all day. And I have done that! But at the end of the day I feel so guilty for having done nothing. So now I tell myself, alright, you can watch tv until such time, and then you must get up and do SOMETHING! I have cleaning and such that needs to be done before baby comes home, and I need to be doing that now. Especially since I am not working anymore and am not terribly uncomfortable yet. I also understand the low energy. My husband asks me to go no walks with him and our beloved chihuahua, Tina. I look at him and say, are you kidding me...seriously? But sometimes I do force myself to do it because I know it is good for me and the baby.
I am so happy that I am not the only one feeling this way! Today I cleaned the living room and had to take a couple of breaks while doing so. I also find that I get out of breath faster now, and that frustrates me. So whenever I do something I feel like such a wimp! I know that is related to pregnancy and just try to remind myself of that.
