Feel so sad 3 weeks to go

So I have 3 weeks until my due date and I just feel so sad all the time, its my 1st baby
And I'm married with a great husband and a good home and good family and friend I really have nothing to be sad about but I am

I've just started maternity leave and I'm so bored cause everyone else is still at work I feel I'm just moping around, I'm trying to keep busy but I'm so worried as everyone keeps telling me how much our life will change when baby gets here
And that even going to the shops will be a challenge now
I've always had a great social life going out etc but I no all that will stop
I hate myself cause I then start to think I wish I had never got pregnant, I feel like I've already lost so much of my old self and that it's only going to get worse, I cry all the time like I'm moarning my old life, I hate it and I wish I didn't feel this way, I just keep thinking back to this time last year when I was so happy and doing everything I wanted to do
When I wanted to do it
Anyone else feel or felt like this? Feel so alone

Thanks

I think going to the shop will be easier when baby is here than it is now! A walk down with the pram sounds much better than a waddle down with my current 38week bump!

I don't think it's unusual to freak out a bit, but if it feels like more than that please speak to your GP or midwife for support X

Don't listen to them, it is what you make it, I'm back at work now and I miss the freedom of maternity leave so so much, just go with it, people will always have an opinion or a scare story, yours is what you make it and want it to be :) enjoy it you lucky lady xx

Thankyou both, yeah I'm just going to go in open minded and take it day by day, like you say not everyone's story's and experiences are the same, I am very easy going and don't usually let much bother me but I guess some people have these terrible stories about how life goes down hill etc after you've had a baby may be to do with how they look at it etc
I need to not listen to what others tell me and find my own feet and own way
Thankyou both x
