Sad and lonely 36 weeks

[summerrain34]

Did anyone else just feel really sad towards the end of their pregnancy . I also feel really lonely like I'm separate from everyone else i think maybe spending a lot of time by myself while friends can go out has had an impact I just feel so alone I can burst into tears at anytime I'm just finding everything really over whelming worrying about my c section whether the baby will be sick when he's born the anxiety is crippling I just had enough did anyone else feel like this ?

It's normal to feel overwhelmed and anxious when pregnant , be kind to yourself . Try and do nice things for yourself while you have the time.

That sounds really hard, OP. Can you talk to your midwife? Crippling anxiety is too much to handle all on your own.

Could you invite a friend or two over for coffee? So that it’s low-key but breaks the isolation. And if you feel able, explain a little of how you’re feeling? But don’t hesitate to get professional reassurance, @summerrain34.

I feel exactly like this! I cry every time i speak about the birth. I know i shouldn't be lonely, im lucky to have a good network around me but i just feel lost and alone. If someone tells me "its going to be fine" one more time i could just scream. I just keep thinking of a phrase i heard somewhere "this too shall pass" xx

Hi mommys
I feel so unhappy and so anxious about the labor and future the last few weeks
I'm currently 36weeks today pls tell me thats a normal feelings for the end of pregnancy..
I'm so overwhelmed 😔

I feel the same..36 weeks on first baby..feel so low. Physical pain is bad and im not sleeping and now last couple of days ive been super anxious and depressed. Feel totally useless

I'm sorry that you are feeling so low..
I hope its all because of the hormone surge..
I'm almost 38 weeks and still have been feeling depressed.. I dont want to talk and meet with friends.. but at the same time I feel so lonely..

I think it is normal feeling that way, I think once the baby is here you will feel so much better as the anxiety about giving birth is gone and you have your body back finally! Just think you are so close to the end now
