Hello,
Up until about a week ago i have felt generally pretty good for the last 32 weeks, i have been very lucky ailment wise, been full of energy and generally very happy save the one or two emotional moments.
For the last week or so i've been unable to shift the tiredness, general despondency (with life and thought of having baby) and feel downright lonely at times. I am the first of my friends to have a baby (aged 30) and so perhaps it would help if i had more people who've been through it to talk to..but i don't. My OH is great but has just started a new job and is v v busy and so i feel a bit on my own and lonely at times and keep feeling a bit like he is neglecting us. Rationally i don't think he is but when the emotions take over....it's hard to separate the feelings.
I just feel like i could cry at anything and want the next 8 weeks to skip by. I have been soooo excited at times by the thought of meeting my baby but now even that doesn't interest me so much. It is a bit like someone turned my happy switch off and replaced it with tiredness and grumpiness.
It doesn't help that i feel reaaaaallly unattractive now. OH is good at telling me i look nice but i suddenly feel massive and my boobs are quite simply huge and awful. Any tips?
Sorry for the rant, i just wanted to know if this is relatively normal at this stage (hormonal surge perhaps....) or if i sound like i have PND but er in pregnancy?
