The blaaaaah's

Hello,

Anyone else experiencing a feeling of blaah? By this I mean lack of motivation to do just about anything? I don't want to go to work, do household chores, or do much of anything. I'm not sad, per se, it's more that I just don't want to do anything that requires too much effort right now. I just kind of want to do my own thing, be on my own schedule, and not have work responsibilities. Gosh, I sound like an adolescent! Anyway, just curious if anyone else is feeling unmotivated? Is this normal?

I'm feeling the same way. I'm just blah. I'm exhausted and when the alarm goes off in the morning before work, I get angry. I just want to sleep the entire day. I went to my in-laws for the 4-day Thanksgiving weekend. My mother-in-law cannot sit still and we had to be doing something all the time, when all I wanted to do was go back to bed. It was hard to keep up a good attitude, and that's not like me! I'm hoping to get some energy back in the second trimester! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

My hubby looks at me like I'm crazy when I tell him I'm not excited and happy all the time!  I'm kinda like Isabelle - its almost like I feel borderline depressed - its SOOOOOOOOOO frustrating!!  I don't want to feel this way - I want to be happy and excited!  I'm hoping its just this 24/7 nausea thats making me feel this way and when it goes so will this blaaahhh feeling!!

Funny! I've had a cold for the past week and I have tried to keep myself from beign too blah.  But my husband last night was like "You are being soooooo blaaah lately!" so I think I'm blah.  I'm just tired.

I feel the exact same way, all I want to do is sleep. Thank God Noah has been taking 3 hour naps so I am able to sleep before work.

I totally feel like ****... between sad and mad and very tired... I feel impatient and discouraged, borderline depressed...

maybe the fact that I havent seen the sun in 5 days and that 10 inches of snow just fell outside. My husband is working abroad so I have to shovell the darn snow! That makes me mad! I just hope that I don't throw by back out!

Thanks for your reponses. I'm so glad I'm not alone in this. I am working full-time and also trying to complete a dissertation. It's really hard...and my husband is still processing all of this. I think he's excited but at the same time, he's also overwhelmed...and that intereferes with his ability to be really nurturing or empathic when I'm feeling blaah or nauseated. I know once we have our first prenatal appointment and we offically announce to friends and family that we're expecting, things will become more exciting. Hopefully by that time, the nausea will have disappeared as well as this blahh feeling. It's almost noon and I've done absolutely nothing productive the whole morning except eat 2 english muffins, cereal and two glasses of lemonade to try to get rid of this metallic taste in my mouth. I feel so lazy and guilty.

Totally!!! I'm so exhausted all the time, and when i have a boost of energy the last thing i want to do is laundry, or do the dishes. I just rather be cozy and relax since it's so cold outside. I'm completly feeling the same way as you. I hope it passes, i feel like guilty i'm not keeping up like i use to.
