feeling really disinterested in life and not sure if I could mention it to GP tomorrow

I am seeing the gp tomorrow to just get a renewal of a prescription. I am 37 weeks pregnant with dc5 but the last month or so I have been so just disinterested which isnt like me at all. I normally have busy days, between the 4 dcs and DH and I run a business from home so i do some work for that, I also have lots of things like craft which i enjoy and obviously having dc5 I normally enjoy planning babies, having babies getting their things ready - otherwise why would I do it?!

Lately I have just stopped - I do the minimum with the business which is ok because DH sort of expects it towards the end of pregnancy anyway but more than that i just cant be bothered with ANYTHING. Food is really simple and easy and tbh the last week dh has done it all. I cant be bothered spending time with the children, I just find them overwhelming which again is not like me.

I have been feeling unwell for a while and have been told its side effects from the medication I am on for high blood pressure and this is the reason as well that I cant just get up and go for a walk or whatever because as soon as i do my blood pressure shoots up and i feel headchey etc and i dont want to end up being admitted again!.

I dont feel like its all down to that though i just feel very very lazy.
I have no hospital bag packed - even though i know i could have her any time (I have been told that since 33 weeks when they gave me steroids) and the latest will be next week because im being induced at 38 weeks.
I havent got her moses basket ready, her clothes are dow from the attic but just shoved in drawers, we have no name. I am so excited to meet her but I just feel like I cant bring myself to do anythign - at all.

Im not sure if i shoudl mention it to the gp - everyone tells me its normal but i dont feel normal?

has anyone ever experienced this?

im so sorry you are feeling like this, big hugs,
Reading your full post i think you are tired, you just need a rest
which is prob not going to be possible for a wee while yet, but try not to be too hard on yourself and let others pick up the slack for a wee while,
I'm sure everything will feel differently when you smell that new born baby smell again and have your first cuddle.
i certainly can't see any harm in speaking with your GP.
