27 weeks pregnant and feeling soooo blue!

I feel like I'm being so ridiculous, but I'm 27 weeks pregnant and feeling pretty blue. I have one DS aged 6, and didn't experience anything like this with his pregnancy.

I just feel so blue and bored. Oh so bored. I'm usually an active horse rider, gym goer, evenings out girl. Don't want to risk horse riding at 27 weeks so that's out of the window, feeling far too big and uncomfy to even consider the gym, and evenings out without alcohol just feeling a little drab. All I do is work, go on my phone and sleep. It's a horribly boring and underwhelming cycle. I cannot wait until little one is here, at least it will give me something to do. I don't fancy doing my sewing, I've been doing some reading but again just find it boring. Watch TV with my partner in the evenings, but feel like I'm just waiting to go to bed.

Could honestly cry and don't know how to stop myself spiralling

Well what you describe does sound quite depressing but that doesn’t mean you are depressed iyswim.
Could you try to find some antenatal classes just to give you some variety. I did an aqua aerobics one and a yoga one. Both encouraged socialising as well as the activity and gave my week some structure.
If you have your own horse could you try to appreciate the time on the ground. So lots of grooming, mane pulling, maybe some lunging etc
Yours is a problem with an expiration date though, so the old adage, this too shall pass is apt.
