I'm on a downer ?

[JJ Mum]

Hi girls,

Anyone else feel like me at the same stage?

I'm now 33 weeks, and on holiday from work , going straight into mat leave start of dec, so all good there, got lots DIY issues to try to resolve before baby arrives, but making headway on some. Some will not be sorted in time, which is annoying, but I just feel like I'm on a downer, I'm grumpy and snappy, I'm being a bit of a whingbag and looking at the bad side of things at the mo, and missing a routene with not being at work! Like I'm a control freek on gettgin things done, got obsessed with car park change for my bag, I still have 6 weeks yet!! Prob doesn't help wikth things for kids etc ramping up in dec and then xmas , that it adds to the things to do.

Sorry to moan, anyone else feel like this at 33 weeks iksh? I should be over the moon!


off to give myself a good slapping!

I just feel ratty and cant be arsed with trying to be all happy and nice to people if they start to piss me off lol
Although I LOVE being pregnant and am trying to enjoy these last few weeks its hard with the backache, heartburn, huge bump etc
Know how you feel hun

Hey hon, Same here - I really think the time of year makes it tough cos so much to organise and ur tired with the pregnancy etc. I feel like I've just come through this at the end of last week and feel lots better this week. I was listing things I needed to do and hubby kept saying what u need it to rest not make more work for urself. I found it really hard to wind down after work etc but by I bought some magazines, a big tub of hot choc and every day try and take 30 mins to just relax - hard at first but worked x x x

Can't seem to shift this downness , Can you get depression at all before birth?

I took Karens advice today and after painting for 4 hours, (which I did enjoy), I sat down for lunch and watched tely for 1 hour to relax instead of carrying on before school run. I felt rested , but not happier, but that was a start. Then when the kids played up yet again at bedtime, I lost the plot bigtime and ranted and shouted at my youngest as she was soo unreasonable , then you just feel bad after and off you go again! I don't know what to do to calm down or relax. Do you know tho it started a week into my holiday from work, been off for near two weeks now, so gotta be connected I guess? Lack of sleep is not helping too, keep waking every few hours for the loo still.

Hey hon, I'm with u on the short temper and reckon lack of sleep has a lot to answer for - this pregnancy lark is a whole different ball game when u have kids - no real chance to catch up on sleep. Hope u have a better day today hon. I've been awake since half 3 with stomach cramps - get them most nights now so not thinking it's anything - and finally gave up and got out of bed at twenty to five so I will be a delight later on I'm sure!!! x x x

I can relate to the grumpiness, stickler for routine, I think it might also be down to the fact it's the weather, not being able to manuver as much n everyone around u isn't moving as fast as u would like.
I hate waiting to do things n everyone around me is moving at snails pace.
At this point I want everything done when I want it done.
My patience wears thin n then I'm bk to being moody
can't win.

If in doubt n u think (even just a smidgen) that it might b depression speak to ur dr.

You sound completely like me!
- Mat leave start of december - check
- House stuff to sort out - check
- Whingbag - check
- Control freak - check

I don't feel too bad this week because I'll actually have time to sort the house stuff and im just going to put my christmas tree up early to give me something to look forward to. Going christmas shopping too is going to perk me up (with about 3 breaks in between for a drink and a sit down lol).

So I suppose Christmas is keeping me going for now but I felt rotten last week and wanted to have it early lol

That's true, lack of sleep has alot to answer for

Hope you start to feel better soon, don't really have any advice though I'm afraid but a lack of sleep can't be helping. I'm only on day 3 of my maternity leave and just feeling so happy not to have to go to work. Got loads to sort round the house, but am taking some time to myself to relax first. One thing I have noticed is how short days are when you don't go to work. It's almost 3 and I'm still in my pj's and haven't even managed to have lunch yet! I've been up since 6 too (couldn't sleep).

yup that was the firnst thing I remembered, just 5 hours in the day I'm luck in between school runs, and I'm lucky in that my 3 kids are all now school age. last time I was off like this, I had just 2 x 2hrs a week without kiddies at nursery,
and I got loads done in those 2 hours!

Spoke to my mum for 2 hours today! she cheered me up, and I will go back tok list making and make a routene for myself and give that a try next week, thanks girls X

 

[fairydust1984]

I think a routine is key for me last time I was off I would plan my week so I had my own little plan that way I found I was a little more motivated plan in chilling time as well and don't over do it.

Some tines it can take a while to adjust to being off work and on your own at home fx nxt week is better cx

Oh JJ it must be difficult having young children at the same time as feeling like this. I feel useless, went into town yesterday to try do a bit of shopping n had some lunch, as soon as I ate I got the gall stone pain and had to come home. I'm not enjoying this at all now n want him to come. I'm fine in the way of being organised, nursery done, bags packed mainly due to my OH so now im just bored of day time tv. I want to do things but cant. Just keep telling yourself its not long now thats what im trying to do although with it being my first im starting to feel apprehensive abou the birth xx

Thanks Bidsy, hope Devon behaves better than my other 3 !, at 11,9 and 8 they should know better!!!

Yes your right not long for us now, it seems soo real now doesn't it.
Did you have the gall stone before pregnancy or get it during? that sounds really painful! Hope it goes after pregnancy Hun X

 

[bidsy]

Yes it does seem more real now, keep looking in the nursery n imagining a little person in there its surreal. No I didnt have them before, they are monitoring me every 2 weeks n getting a surgeon in place to decide what to do after he is born, it may be better after I dont know. They also found that I have trapped fluid on my right kidney which could also be causing some pain but just gotta keep comfy not long x
