I’m feeling really bored and unmotivated during my pregnancy.

Need Advice

I’m 27, pregnant for the first time, and bored out of my mind, I just don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t need to work, and I couldn't right now anyway due to pregnancy symptoms, but I’ve always worked, and now I feel like life has no purpose.

I feel lethargic and listless every day; I’m just going through the motions while waiting for the baby to arrive. I don’t know if this is depression or simply a lack of things to do. To make matters worse, I live in Germany, where I have no friends and not much to do. I only have my partner, who works and sometimes doesn't get home until late. I’d like to work from home, but I can’t find anything that would actually bring in an income. I feel like I’m going crazy.

So, what can I do to get out of this situation? How can I get more energy? What kind of work could I do from home to shake off this boredom?
