am i depressed or just pregnant

[pinkyp]

Ok heres whats got me questionsing:

Always tired...but i'm up through the night 2 or 3 times with needing a wee or ds1,ds1 wakes about 6am. I find it hard to get back to sleep and give dh evils as he snores his head off! Recently i've been kicking dh til he gets up i've been getting up about 9am past few days (thanks to dh not starting work till 11am) but i could sleep all day if i could! On a typical day spend most of the morning sat down, do some house work / nip out and then sit down again if possible. On saturday afternoon i spent about 4 hours laid on the sofa

I hate the weekly shop - normally i love it but past few weeks its been a nightmare and i'm just exhausted after it and neary burst into tears all the way round coz i can't decide wot to get!

Hate going out anywhere coz i just cant be bothered, but get board / irritated when i'm stuck in the house so usually end up going somewhere (even if its just my mums)

My mum windes me up so much that i'm always snapping at her.

Feel fat/ugly and just wobberly

Often find myself eating just for the sake of it, and eating much bigger portions

Ds1 has been a right pain in the ass monkey today.

House is fairly tidy but i cant b bothered to do a deep clean or as much as i use to because i'll be exhausted after.

I loved going shopping but these days i dread it.

Today i went out without make up

sometimes i ignore ds1 when he's rambling on and on about any old crap talking because i'm in a world of my own

All my maternity clothes are too short over the bump and i just feel awful.

Often find myself writing "to do" lists in my head - never actually doing them.

moneys a bit tight at the moment so i cant spend all day internet shopping no more

dh informed me we might only be able to afford to him to take 1 weeks paternity leave as he thought he got full pay but its just the standard rate...

Theres probabily loads more but thats all i can think of at the moment, so whats ur views depressed or just plain pregnant?

I dont know but I feel pretty shitty too. I havent left the house since Thursday and I am that drained I cant even be bothered to get my hair cut even though I have gone 3 weeks past when I would usually have it done. I am sick of being in pain, not sleeping etc. I just think it starts to get you down after a while if its a difficult pregnancy, prob not depression..just reactive temporary depression because you feel crap.

How many weeks are you?

I could have written the same post - Im 35 weeks

I am 35 weeks too ..perhaps this is the turning point as I could have written the OP's post too. My main gripe is the constant pain now as well. I can barely get out of bed.

I'm 35 weeks!! 36 2moro! I'm sorry you both feel like this too but in a way i'm kind of relieved i'm not alone.

hi i am also due in march but am not enjoying it to much i dont want to make anyone eles worrie cos at teh end of the day it is a silly fear but i am so scared of dieing in childbirth i think this has a lot to do with already having my son and if i go there is no one to have him is anyone eles going thew this or had it

Pinkyp you are not alone.

I ache, doing simple things has become a struggle, I cant go and have a relaxing bath because I cant get out on my own and DP works really late. Im growing out of my mat clothes and Ive gone from being a slim 10 stone to 13.10 - im fat, round, my boobs leak, I want to paint my toe nails but I CBA!!

I have loads to do before baby arrives, Im scared about my home birth, I havent organised a tens / pethidine nothing... feel very freaked out at times and im exhausted.

You are not alone!!

I'm 37 weeks and could've written this post yesterday. I quite enjoyed being able to moan in the last weeks of pregnancy with DD1 but this time I can't wait for it to be over (though I'm also slightly dreading it as I seem to have become the world's worst mother).

hahaha but do you remember, how easy it seemed being PG once there was this tiny ickle feeding machine that woke you up lots???

They're much easier to look after whilst inside, but your body will feel so much better when they are out!!

Crikey, I'm only 19 weeks and this is how I feel now! I mean, I know I'm not as exhausted as you guys must be - but my nights are not much fun at the minute (aching middle, despite my "fortress of pillows", as DP calls it). And apparently I'm supposed to be having some kind of energy burst right about now? Puh-lease.

Pinkyp - I have totally given up on the idea of doing any food shopping and just get it delivered. I know there's a charge, but honestly - there are some things you just have to do for yourself...

Definately go for shopping online and pay for delivery, by the time you have factored in petrol, let alone stress it is worth it! Plus you spend less as you don't get tempted by the piles of crap available. They will bring it into the kitchen for you. It's great you won't look back!
Good luck.
The last bit of being preg is bloody miserable if you ask me. Dreading it. I think it is natures way of getting you to actually look forward to the birth and the next bit. You get to the stage of - anythings got to be better than feeling like this!

I could've written that post and am 33 weeks. Am guessing it's a late pregnancy thing although I don't remember feeling like this when I was pg with DD. You are not alone. Hope you feel a bit better today.

I could have written this - I am 36 weeks and totally fed up with everything, so I would say - probably we are all normal.

I get most food shopping online and delivered - can't even think about going to a 'big' supermarket.

I have just eaten 100g of Cadbury's choc and not even 10 o'clock yet (well just about 10)... feeling so sorry for myself, and can't imagine how difficult it must be to look after a child when feeling this tired and rubbish!

Big hugs all round!

Thank you ladies, i feel like the worst mother too - its 1/2 tearm and i've only took my boy to town (holland and barret for raspberry leaf tea), supermarket and my mums so far . I cant remember feeling this bad with ds1 - although i can remember moaning alot so maybe i was

Got a sore throat today and a tiny bit of cold too but on the plus side i am offically 36 weeks today!! 4 to go! (althought i've told myself I AM giving birth at 37 weeks...yeh right)

How everyone is ok this morning?

I'm nowhere near that far long (nearly 24 weeks) but can relate to a lot of what you say - general lack of interest in 'normal' things, e.g. going out, doing anything, keeping the house tidy etc. Exhaustion from normal stuff like the weekly shop etc. Not sleeping etc. Having little patience for people wittering on about inane stuff, ticking all boxes here.

I am sure I will be worse at 36 weeks as I will be bigger and more uncomfortable and more tired. So I have that to look forward to!

[waves] at buttercup, also still waiting for the fabled but seemingly mythical energy burst!

I felt like you deliakis was tired a hell of alot more than i expected in my 2nd trimester,i did get the energy burst (around 30 weeks) lasted about a week and then i've been suffering every since lol

I'm due tomorrow but was over 2 weeks late with my others. Today i just can't stop crying. Want to talk to friends but what have i got to be sad about really. Don"t want to go out, can't be bothered to shop or cook. Which in turn means i'm not being fair on my boys.
Don't expect anyone to comment i just need a release, actually i'd just like a hole to go and hide in but i've got to keep eye on other 2.
LOw low low day :(

Feel free to vent here, like i said i feel like a crap mum at the min, i'm sure he's being extra naughty of purpose,dh bugs me when he's done nothing - although thats prob what bugs me. I'm just fed up of everything! Could scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
