not coping well anymore

[JoAnn&Aimee]

I feel like I can't take much more of the pregnancy. The braxton hicks is getting to me, all the pains in my hip and back. I just feel so drained. I can barely feed myself when my OH is at work. I just feel so mentally and physically exhausted. I've suffered from depression for 10 years and I can feel myself going back to the darker parts of the depression the now. I shouldn't be feeling this way when I am due to have a baby in 10 weeks! I can't stop crying, I am even crying right now. I don't know what to do.

Have you got someone to talk to? Maybe ring your MW? Sorry not much advice but here have these it sounds like you need them xxx

I don't know what to suggest apart from lots of these - pregnancy brings good and bad days and with all the hormones flying around plus the physical effects you're entitled to feel a bit low sometimes.

Everyone has their own way of feeling better but maybe if you went out for a walk in the sunshine, if you feel up to it, it might help - just to get out of the house and see things from a different perspective.

Hope you feel better xx

Aw hun

Remember that regardless of your history of depression what you are describing is PERFECTLY NORMAL. Most of us on here were an emotional wreck throughout most of 2nd Tri and the beginning of 3rd Tri. By the end of 3rd Tri I think you just about get used to the hormones - which is lucky because then suddenly you have a baby to deal with and everything changes again.

I personally have never cried as much as I did in pregnancy, it's a bloody hard thing to go through. You're doing really well and you WILL have off days - but just go to bed on these days and don't try to do too much. As for feeding yourself, eat what you want when you want and don't beat yourself up about taking shortcuts now and then either.

Take care of yourself and keep posting on here for support

Aww hun, the others are right, hopefully this will pass. You have had to deal with your hubby's work news too and that cant of helped. Keep your chin up hun, let us know how you are.x

Thanks for all the replies and the hugs! I am feeling a bit better now. I just go through phases of being really down that I can barely see straight. Aimee gave me a few kicks earlier and surprisingly it cheered me up. It was as if she knew her mummy was feeling down and wanted to say hello.

aww hun! i was really depressed for the first 4 months of my pregnancy mostly to do with babys father but i haven't seen or talked to him since xmas and feel SOOOOOOOOOO much better!! i can remember when people used to say to me 'ohhh you must be so excited' and it made me feel so guilty because i wasn't and i just felt really poo. I still have times where i get really down but just keep telling myself its the pregnancy hormones and im soo excited to meet my little one now! I look back at how i was the first few months of pregnancy and can't really believe how down i was i'm so glad i feel better now. I really don;t know what i would of done without my friends tho. Talking about how you feel makes everything alot better no matter how hard it is!! xxx

i know how you feel xjoann
ive been the same recently, all this housing nonsense has really got to me. im not at work anymore but im stuck living at my dads untill shes here, its really frustrating not being at work but not being able to sort anything with regards to housing out. it feels like im wasting time

ive had one day that i havent cried on since last thursday. the sun has cheered me up though, stick with it there is good AND bad still to come our way. but we can get through it together and it will be totally worth it!
