Losing motivation at work

Every since I reached 5 weeks, I start to feel tired all the time. Sometimes so tired that I find it hard to focus and really need to get some sleep in the day. It makes it very hard for me to get any work done. Although I am working from home, but I’m also mindful not to disappear for too long. But it’s hard to go on. I have been taking naps everyday even on work days. Every Sunday, I really dread working the next day. I don’t wish to be a stay at home mum. But I find it so difficult to get work done, I feel guilty that I cannot perform at work. Any similar experiences?#1stimemom #workingmama

if it's really hard to focus, maybe you can request to take unpaid leave for the first trimester to rest, provided if your company is able to arrange manpower to cover you for that period. Usually morning sickness and fatigue will get better in the second trimester.

Hmm, that’s true. Didn’t think about taking unpaid.
