I'm feeling very low at the moment and wondering if anyone else is experiencing this - whether it's normal pregnancy hormones, or if I'm down for other reasons. I don't feel like picking up the phone and talking to friends or family, I just want to hide away.
I also don't feel very supported by my partner, and I think this is finally beginning to drag me down. His stresses and strains have been paramount over the last seven months, whether work- related, or moving house-related. He's also a bit of a hypochondriac, so barely a week goes by without him feeling ill and if not, then he's tired.
I feel I've not been pampered or looked after at all. I don't want much really, but I'd love to be made to feel a little buit looked after. For example, I'd love to be brought a cup of tea in the morning while I'm getting ready for work. Instead, I always make the tea and bring it to my partner in bed while I'm getting ready. Stupid example, I know, but it's just to illustrate a point.
I've been really lucky with my pregnancy and not really felt ill at all, but I do now have a sore back and my legs go from under me when I get out of bed, or if I've been sitting for a long time. I feel this is not even acknowledged by my partner - I don't go on and on about it, but it's a problem for me. I think that because he exaggerates illness, etc, that he assumes me to be doing the same and doesn't take it seriously.
I'm really waffling. I suppose that I'm just giving a couple of examples because I want to know if I have lost all perspective becuase of my hormones and that's why I'm down, or if I have reasons to feel down.
