I was expecting, and ready for, the physical exhaustion that comes along with pregnancy. I’ve had sleep issues for awhile now, and I regularly function on very little sleep. I have also learned to take advantage of my daily routine and circadian rhythm in order to schedule the best times to relax when I need to rest. The demands of growing a baby human have definitely taken their toll on my body, but I like to think that I’ve coped pretty well. However, I was not prepared for the mental exhaustion.
Right now, I’m working full time, in addition to going to school. I work a regular 8 to 5, Monday through Friday job, that is actually relatively easy and undemanding. But then, I’m also taking 2 courses for my Masters degree. Luckily, these are my last 2 classes before I graduate in June, but the stress of working, going to school, getting ready for graduation, and being pregnant is starting to wear on me. I literally have no motivation to do anything, let alone anything productive or worthy of grad school submission.
I’m really hoping that the second trimester is as great as everyone keeps saying, because I’m going to need all the help I can get to finish my degree at this rate.
