Is it normal to feel down? I'm not sure if it's just hormones or my situation. Had been out of work on benefits for 3 years following a breakdown, and was just starting to get motivated about getting back to work again when I found out I was pregnant. I've only been with my boyfriend 8 months and neither of us work. He has rheumatoid arthritis (or suspects he does, hasn't been diagnosed) and uses a cane even though he's only 22. He lives at home still and has been looking for work but was being supported by his parents so that he could pursue music (he's a guitarist). He is going to get a job and we'll be moving in together but I don't know how we'll cope. I have a one bed flat but it's not suitable for a baby, I've been told I won't get any priority for a bigger flat until the baby's here, and I've heard of people not getting another flat at all. :( I think we'll have to appeal because it's a first floor flat and he wouldn't be able to get a buggy up and down the stairs without majorly affecting his condition (his legs are the worst problem). I think all this along with knowing I can't go back to work any time soon has got me feeling a bit low. I'm also worried that with my past history of depression and anxiety problems that I'll make a shit mam. I'm afraid to talk to anyone about this as I know they'll just worry about me getting majorly depressed again. I think I just need some reassurance that everything's going to be ok. :(
