I'm currently 33 weeks pregnant and my first trimester was a major challenge in terms of productivity. Here were my main symptoms:
- Major fatigue - I went from only needing 7 hours of sleep per day, to needing a mininum of 12 hours of sleep. Meanwhile all of my blood work looked normal and my doctor assured me it was perfectly normal - I just had to survive it. However, I had to survive this level of fatigue while you’re working two jobs at the same time and not telling anyone about it because you’re still in your first trimester.
- To making everything worse, I had terrible nausea and heartburn and had to cut back on coffee because it was worsening all of my stomach problems - which contributed to even more fatigue.
- While this is all normal in pregnancy, and there are people that have symptoms way worse than I did, it just made me think → how are we supposed to manage feeling this way on a daily basis and still cope with day-to-day demands and try to keep some semblance of normalcy?

Congratulations on your pregnancy, Mariana!!! 🥳 I've been watching your channel since 2014, when I was in college, and now I'm a doctor! I just wanted to thank you for sharing your journey with us all, especially videos such as these. Rest and self care are productive, too. Please take care of yourself and the baby! So excited to see this new chapter unfold 🤗👏🏻

@solagratialife 5 месяцев назад

So sweet 😊

@lavarad Год назад

This is an amazing video. So many women go through this, but not as many talk about it. Women giving each other permission and agency to feel as they feel naturally, all wrapped in a support blanket. This is probably one of my favorite videos from you. Best of luck in your pregnancy and delivery and all the wonderful that comes after it 💖💖💖

@solagratialife 5 месяцев назад

Agreed

@lkope0903 Год назад

As someone who is three weeks behind you, omg I related to ALL OF THIS. It was sooo tough for me to get through the first trimester and cut myself some slack, I wish more pregnant people talked about how hard this was. The fatigue and lack of productivity completely caught me off guard since I never heard anyone really talk about it.

@nicoleshan6410 Год назад

Congratulations on your pregnancy,may everything goes well!!!💙💚

@alexandratiktiner3526 9 месяцев назад

I relate 100% to this! I am pregnant with my second baby, and the first trimesterof both pregnancies look like a dream from outside - no nausea, no health issues, but I am sooo tired 24×7, and I feel ashamed for not being more active. Thank you for sharing your experience!

@solagratialife 5 месяцев назад

I struggle with those same feelings. I'm 31 weeks pregnant with our first baby.

@antevadas3840 5 месяцев назад

Did you work first few months of pregnancy? My intuitions tells me it's dangerous to go to job, but also dangerous to be inactive whole time.

@su-yintan7703 7 месяцев назад

So glad to stumble upon this during my first trimester, so relieved to know it's not just me feeling like a lazy potato. I used to be able to go through a novel per week but now I can barely finish reading a newsletter before I wander off or doze off.

@mariana-vieira 7 месяцев назад

I feel you 😩

@diandradegroot987 Год назад

Congratulations! Listen to your body. Growing a human baby and caring for a child is a fulltime job. So everything that can be accomplished extra is great, but this pregnancy and the growing of the baby is something you can only do once and you want to do this well. Everyday feeling you can not accomplish what you want, know you are growing a baby! Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy. Love your videos!

@kalia2cute Год назад

Thanks for discussing this. I feel seen. No one seems to care/believe how drastic this symptom can be. I’m looking forward to getting my energy back.

@nedarichards1947 Год назад

I was super organised before baby and pregnancy. Then came pregnancy, and I had all the ugly symptoms, which, like yourself, made things difficult for me to stay organised. Then, when the baby came, the first year was no way in hell possible for me to stay organised - no matter what I did. My first born is now 2.5, and I've just managed to get something in place, but tbh staying consistent is quite impossible, especially since we don't have child care. We are pregnant with second now, and I'm trying to see what can be delegated to others or outsourced to take some of the pressure off. I feel my organisation has become barely about me but more about the children. How do I make sure their day and feeding are sorted. No one ever prepares you for the admin part of parenting. It takes so much time, and you literally become a PA to little humans. Time management sort changes concept. You need to be very flexible, and you are actually on their clock and not your own. Maybe it's slightly easier for parents who have their children in child care because they don't have to worry about how to entertain or educate them every second of the day. Although they might not have that burden on, they still need to deliver at work and for me who left my career to be a stay home mum, I feel it was so much easier to meet deadline at work and be organised than it is now. Simply because your little human is on a different agenda! I'm still trying to get organised, but I think I've accepted that level of organisation will never be the same as prior to having babies. It's more like some kind of organised chaos. I also believe the workforce should be more considerate of that fact.

@HomemakingwithAlly Год назад

The lack of energy during that last trimester pregnancy is unreal! Coupled with being heavier and bulkier, it kept me from accomplishing a lot of the things I wanted to get done. Overall I had to give myself grace for not living up to my own expectations🤷🏽‍♀️ just get the bare minimum done!

@tashamcmahon251 Год назад

I can relate. I’m 16 weeks with my second at 37 yrs old and i feel everything you describe. It’s depressing. Im so fatigued. Not tired but can’t function tired. I have no help or support from A man either. It’s so hard 🥺.

I just had a baby (my first) on Jan 17 and I relate to this *so much*. My first trimester hit me hard mentally and I was just wiped out all the time. It was tough to be taking on such a massive "project" and be unable to tackle it using the tools and systems I've spent so long cultivating😭 Thank you for making this ❤And congratulations!

@katharinadavis9474 Год назад

THANK YOU!! This video has resonated with me on soo many levels. I do have an invisible chronic illness so I am fighting with fatigue, brain fog, and focus challenges in a daily basis. I used to be a go-getter, avid learner like you. And like you, it really has been depressing for me not to function like this anymore. I can manage these symptoms with diet, yoga and sleep - to some extend. But flares do happen, and my baseline is just lower. Could you do more videos about adaptive productivity planning? I have a hunch you will have to go down the route with your baby’s too (at least that was my experience with kids). I LOVE YUR VIDEOS! CONGRATULATIONS ❤❤❤

@mariana-vieira Год назад

I’m so sorry you have to go through that 😩 chronic illnesses are devastating. I hope you can find the coping mechanisms to deal with this and find some balance throughout your day. I’ll be definitely be taking about this A LOT throughout the year so stay tuned for a lot of mindful productivity content on the way ☺️

@Ninjakimmy Год назад

Im currently 11 weeks pregnant and I'm extremely nauseous. I got medication from my doctor, but it doesn't work and makes me even more tired than I already am... I really hope it'll get better soon

@romanatorx3949 Год назад

Congrats - I was wondering few days videos ago if you are expecting :) I am curious how will your approach change to the productivity once the little one is out. Our little one is 3 years old, and the first year was quite difficult, especially due to pandemic lockdown and lack of support from family. It will be a new chapter - productivity for busy parents (or prioritise what you have energy for while the baby is sleeping, if you are not sleeping yourself).

@mariamihaleva3430 7 месяцев назад

Can totally relate, my concentration became low, with the tiredness.

@Alex-ci2ow Год назад

This video came just at the right time. I'm currently 13 weeks pregnant and I struggled so much with insomnia during the last few weeks. Working a full-time job with only 3-4 hours of sleep made me feel like I couldn't even get the most basic things in my private life done. Just like you said: getting ready, reading, studying, even working out. At first, I was so disappointed in myself, I still sometimes am, but we have to be more compassionate with ourselves. Thank you so much and all the best for you! Congrats 🧡

@10024westsidenyc Год назад

I'm sending you love and understanding because I know how bad chronic fatigue feels. I've had it from age 26-41 and really hadn't had any real help from my doctors to solve it. but last year I discovered a vitamin D3 deficiency and cleared that up and felt pretty good compared to how I did feel for many years. Also, iron and B vitamins helped me too. I've never been pregnant through but I do 100% understand your fatigue and ALLof the difficulties that you described. Did your doctor check your vitamin and mineral levels to see if you were deficient in anything, if so were those all normal but you still felt bad?

@tatianapalileo4653 Год назад

@MsBossTone 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for posting this video. I can relate so much, it’s unbelievable how much the fatigue can worsen the quality of our lives. Just finishing my first trimester and just waiting for the fatigue to be over. I’m also a high achiever, I’ve always done a tone of activities, also reading was my thing, right now same as you Netflix and RU-vid became the only entertainment I can afford energetically… hope it ends soon!

@mariana-vieira 4 месяца назад

@bboicrazy8 Месяц назад

Please give yourself grace. Productivity is low on the list and anyways you ARE being productive as in you’re literally creating a human being inside of yourself. Rest whenever you can get it, you should. Unfortunately grind culture and jobs make it hard to rest.

@alisonmidd Год назад

Congratulations! Thank you so much for this, I suffered terribly chronic fatigue during my first trimester. Luckily I work in education and I found out I was pregnant on the first day of the 6week holidays. I basically just slept for six weeks, I have no idea how I would have managed working full time on my feet all day. I now suffer with pmdd which makes me suffer severe depression and chronic fatigue at the end of each monthly cycle. It's very debilitating too. I think it's not that well known just how exhausted the first trimester makes you feel, it was definitely my worst of the 3.

Yes expecting my fourth here and sometimes feel down that I just can’t do much at this point physically (I’m eight months pregnant). I have so many crafts on my mind and projects but…the Lord is teaching me to just slow down and know that if I eat, my kids eat, if I play with them and enjoy them..:that’s a good day. We must remember that we are accomplishing a HUGE “TASK” of bringing a new life into this world. it is good to organized and post to social but so much of that will pass away-it is not eternal. But we as mamas are helping to bring an eternal soul into this world. It’s a big deal.

This video made me realize that ironically I've been much better off this second pregnancy because after my first child I had issues with such severe depression in and off for years that going through the first trimester this time didn't seem like an unfamiliar feeling except for the daily vomiting of course. So me and my family went back into the depression style of routine and it didn't seem out of the ordinary and I felt supported.

@10024westsidenyc Год назад

PS. I didn't know you're pregant! I've seen some of your recent videos but definitely missed you mentioning it. Anyway, congrats and I wish you a wonderful rest of your pregnancy and hope and pray you'll have a healthy and safe delivery.

@peroxisome1 Год назад

Thank you for this video. My kids are now 3 and 5, and I am just starting to get back to my normal productivity levels, it took that many years. Even now if anyone in the family gets sick, chores pile up, sleep is affected and I have to start the cycle of rest, reset, and back to work. I used to get upset about my scattered unplanned days, and changing routines. I was trying hard to find and stick to a pattern. It took years to realize that I must do my best to preserve my energy reserve, prioritize sleep, diet, self-care, (and exercise...still working on this one).

@adrianabarnard6402 10 месяцев назад

Oh gosh she said the one I been wondering about how do moms deal with being so tired and still manage to work to me it’s a crime to let a pregnant woman work specially anything physical. To me even dealing with my toddler has been too much on my first trimester. I usually feel better later in the day so I do as much house work as I can but working would be the death of me. I think this time I had even worse too because I went through it then had a miscarriage and I screwed up thinking I couldn’t get pregnant right after and I did so I feel like my nutrients have been dumbed and I had to start from a disadvantaged point.
