Hi all
I'm 25 weeks into my second pregnancy. Having a shit time. Had hyperemesis with my DD (who is 25 months) and have it again now as well as migraines and have had a series of chest/respitory infections.
I remember at about this time witH DD I felt pretty low. I'm off work (as I was then) and feel pretty isolated and sad. I'm on 20mg of citalipram (mainly for anxiety- not got much history of depression outside of pregnancy) but wondering if this is depression and if I should be seeing my doctor or if it's a common time to feel low?
Just generally feeling useless, exhausted, like I'm not doing enough with DD. Sex life has gone down the swanny (have had some post sex bleeding in this pregnancy to boot and I'm RH neg so can't really have sex... Nor do I want to!!! But I'm missing the intimacy and closeness). Added to this our two year old ends up in our bed every night anyway.
House is also a fucking state. Poor DH is doing what he can but he's at work 12 hours a day and DD trashes the place within five minutes of getting up. I feel like I'm constantly chasing my own tail with housework and I'm too tired to do much more than the basics.
So really my question is should I be being proactive, mentioning these feelings of hopelessness and general uselessness (and the accompanying crying) to someone professional or should I just accept I've got a lot on my plate right now? DH and my parents and very supportive and helpful so I can't blame having no help or support.
