41 weeks - is it possible

Hi all, now 41 weeks pregnant and feel like I have PND (although baby not here yet so just depression I guess)
I don't feel excited anymore. I just wake up every day feeling worse than the day before. I just feel regret. I'm letting my DD down because I feel so rotten all the time. Also concerned about a lengthy hospital stay and major issues as I'm just being left to it and the baby is just getting bigger and bigger.
What do I do? Just get on with it and hope these feelings disappear if/when baby is ever born?

That would be antenatal depression op.

Can you afford counselling?

Speak to your midwife about a referral to the perinatal mental health midwife.

Thanks for your reply! Yeah I can afford counselling but I don't have the time before baby is born. I will speak to the antenatal team as I'm worried this will just carry on and turn into PND Sad

Sending you well wishes.
It's good that you can recognise it and are wanting to seek help.

I really would recommend you prioritising time for counselling. It's an hour a week and will most probably really help you.
