Due baby in a few weeks and feel low

Hi there, I am due my 3rd baby in a few weeks and feel really low. It’s starting to make me worry at how I will cope after baby arrives.

I kept so well in both my previous pregnancies however this pregnancy has been hard going and I have ended up bringing my maternity leave forward.

Feeling this low at the end of my pregnancy, will that make me more likely to get post natal depression? I just feel I am not mentally prepared this time around.

Are you getting out enough? Have you had vitamin d prescribed or iron tablets?

I’ll maybe phone my midwife and ask about getting my iron level check. I do multiple school and nursery runs throughout the week, toddler groups and had a few Christmas events planned each weekend.

Just don’t feel like myself 😓 xx
