I agree puppies! I admire those women who worked right up until the end of their pg, but it doesn't make it easier for the rest of us who are expected to do the same.

I have been shocked at how unmotivated to work I have become...and I love my job! Its definitely a sign that my energy is actually going elsewhere.

I say take the opportunity to slow down if you can. This is a special time in our lives, that should be cherished, not rushed...it has taken me 28 weeks to realise this, and I'm glad I finally have.

I am still happy to work and exercise and go out and do everything else, just not at the same pace...

When you put yourself first, you put the baby first...surely that's what everyone would want?
