Hello all looking for some advice really
I’m nearly 10 weeks pregnant with a surprise but very wanted baby. I’m very anxious due to previous miscarriage however I do have a living son who’s 2.
i think I had postnatal depression with my son but buried it to look like I had everything together ok the outside. Slowly I think it’s got worse but since being pregnant I feel terrible. I’ve completely lost my connection with my son and partner, I have no motivation (the house is such a mess-normally very tidy and clean, don’t take my son anywhere, we just watch films or go to my mums)
my partner is very supportive but has voiced his concern, basically all I want to do is sleep and lay on the sofa. I know this could be due to pregnancy symptoms too but I just feel so sad. I hate what I’ve become!!!
i work 2-3 days a week, I hate my job and would love a new one with more hours however, childcare in my area is few and far between (on waiting lists currently for over a year) plus very expensive so I don’t have loads of options however I feel a new job would help my mental state.
i have always said I’d never go on any form of anti depressants, I feel like they mask the problem without actually dealing with it, along with the risks they pose to pregnancy. However I feel like I need to do something… should I contact the midwife? Gp? I just don’t know how anyone can help me!
