Losing the will to work/deal with everyday life at 32 weeks

[spatchcock]

Apologies for melodramatic thread title.

I've been so lucky with my pregnancy so far - no sickness, fatigue, nothing. Lots of energy.

However, on the cusp of 32 weeks, I just feel like I suddenly can't be bothered. I feel tired, irritable, bored and unable to concentrate. I've completely lost my mojo at work and can't stand my colleagues' bickering.

I just want to go home and leave the real world behind.

Am I just having a bad week or is this a third trimester thing?

I don't know RingEir, but today I am vacillating between insane anger and dramatic tears! I am definitely going to get my iron levels checked tomorrow if I can.

I just went into the work ktichen and no one had emptied the bin. Again. There was rubbish balanced on top of the bin lid, ffs! I marched into our mutual workspace and made a loud, angry announcement and everyone looked at me like I was unhinged. Which is how I feel.

And breathe...

I've wondered about depression a couple of times too RingEir, but on reflection I think in my case it's just hormones, stress, and tiredness. I guess it's natural for things to get on top of you more when you're heavily pregnant, but it's comforting to know that others are going through the same thing. They don't mention 3rd trimester blues in the pregnancy books, or none that I've read anyway (which admittedly isn't many)!

Oh and spatchcock - pregnant or not, you're perfectly justified re the bin, in my opinion!

spatchcock, I have been driven to incoherent rants about cups in the staffroom sink including the sentence "Well, when I'm not here, they'll HAVE to empty the fucking sink and how will they like it THEN?".

Oh so glad to have found this thread! Nearly 29 weeks, SPD really starting to kick in now and feel on the verge of tears constantly. Can't talk about it at home as DP will just tell me to call in sick (I can hardly do that for 11 weeks though can I?!) and work don't seem bothered by the fact I'm in constant pain and feeling super-tired (not helped by 2yo DD who keeps waking up at 4.30/5.00 when I have to get up at 5.30 and 4 hours of commuting each day + growing a baby FGS!).
Feeling really sorry for myself but so worried about money I have to keep going. At least I now know these feelings are fairly normal. Had really enjoyed the 2nd trimester too after a miserable 1st! Roll on starting ML in just over a month (well annual leave officially)!
