Feeling very low, don't know why

[iheartshoes]

I'm 37 weeks and 4 days pregnant tomorrow (first baby) and I don't know what's wrong with me but the past couple of days I've started feeling really low and I don't know why . Have a lovely supportive hubby we have a lovely home, great family and friends, so no real worries and this is a very much wanted baby . I just feel like I want to burst into tears and I'm suddenly terrified of the labour and that Im not going to be able to cope once baby is here. Writing it all out I sound pathetic, spoilt and ungrateful and I'm honestly not. I just want to feel like me again. I haven't slept for the past few nights at all I just can't get comfy and my mind starts spinning. Someone say something to make me feel better please hubby jerks asking what's wrong and being lovely which just makes it worse, like I don't deserve any of this! Sorry for the essay x

I'm sorry you are feeling like this. Do you think listening to hypnobirthing audio might help you? You can find a free one here

Don't know if I can make it feel any better but wanted to say you're not alone. I'm 28 weeks today and had my check up with the MW, spent the whole of it in tears because I don't feel I'm coping with anything.

Our bodies are going thru some exceptional changes. And I think we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to carry on as normal when actually we new to give ourselves some TLC and stop kicking our own arses! easier said than done, I know

My MW has told me to call them if I feel I need extra support - maybe if you could talk thru any worries before the arrival day it may help?

No magical help I'm afraid, but and a hug and hope you feel a bit less wobbly soon x

Hormones. They're awful. Sometimes I feel like bursting into tears for no apparent reason too, I know it's just down to my hormones going crazy. I just tell my DH I'm feeling blue and nope around. I find trashy romantic comedies help.

Mope around I meant!

Thank you all. Glad it's not just me!! I just want my baby here now I don't want to wait any longer, but at the same time I would love to be able to have just one decent nights sleep before he or she arrives! I am not a person who copes well with being tired which makes me worry about how on earth will I cope with sleepless nights when baby is here !!! I am a truly horrible person when I'm tired :(

Hahaha I'm the same with sleep! Something will click into place - it has too right?!
Here's to a good nights sleep tonight.

I was exactly like this with my first - luckily not with second. Just give in to not sleeping, your body is in training for what's to come! Catch up in the day if you can (assuming you're now on mat leave), and if you can make sure you try and get out for at least a walk every day. I know it's easy to think you're being ungrateful - but give yourself a break. Life, and your body is changing, and its hard to equate it all when your hormones are all over the place. Good luck! X
