Hi not so much a question as just a bit of a brain dump and in need of a hand hold ..
36+3 weeks pregnant. As the due date gets closer I'm feeling more anxious and low and I'm overthinking a lot of things. I'm guessing it's down to hormones and the arrival of a baby for the first time.
For example, my husband and I got married last year, have been happily together for nearly 5 years. He's never given me cause for concern, we have a secure relationship. Last night I saw on his Instagram he had sent a message to a woman who's name I didn't recognise. I'm sure there's a reasonable and valid explanation for it but my mind is going into overdrive. He does tell me everything usually, and I normally don't worry about things like this. Is it hormones at play ??
I'm totally aware it's my own insecurities and past bad experiences with previous relationships suddenly rearing their head out of nowhere,I know it's my problem and it's something I'm trying to work on in myself so please don't criticise me. I don't want to project my insecurities onto him, or ask him about it because it would be insulting to him and our trust for each other. I do trust him but it's hard not to be anxious and overthink everything.
I also feel low because I don't have a mother-type figure for support throughout pregnancy as I'm estranged from my parents. My husband is great and supportive though. But I'm just generally feeling a bit down
Basically I just need someone to metaphorically pat me on the head, tell me they've been through something similar and that I'm being a wee bit ridiculous. Also any tips on how to not be like this would be great
