Hello,

im currently 33 weeks pregnant and struggling massively with my mental health. My partner is currently deployed so my main support system isn’t around, I have a small family unit but I haven’t really felt like they have been there for me during this difficult time so have distanced myself from them. I’m struggling massively with the house and trying to keep on top of cleaning/organising etc. I have everything I need for the baby but the house is really impacting me. It’s a really old house with a lot of imperfections that seem to be really playing on my mind. It never feels clean no matter how much I clean and decorate. I’ve even been decorating and a week later it just looks grubby again, I don’t know if this is just in my head. Has anyone else been like this during in pregnancy? Guess I’m just wanting some reassurance that I’m not the only one and it can be normal to feel like this.

Hi OP, I remember you posting before. Have you sought outside help? A therapist or someone from the hospital's perinatal mental health team?

Yes I have, basically been told to get on with it and it’ll soon be over.

Gosh, that's dreadful, I would try somewhere else to help you get on top of things x
