40 weeks tomorrow...

[littlecrumb]

...& I feel like absolute crap. I am feeling so depressed today and now I have had an argument with DH and I have decided to sleep on the couch because 1/ can't face being near anyone 2/ I snore and he wakes me up to tell me this 3/ I feel ugly & generally had enough.

He makes it quite obvious he doesn't want to be intimate either because I am so huge now he says but I know it's basically because he doesn't find me attractive anymore. I know this baby is going to be late and right now I feel like I wish I had never even got pregnant. I have also had enough of being at home bored all day and it's getting me down so much. I can't stop crying this evening and feel so alone.

Is it normal to feel this way?

Yeah, it's pretty normal. He should be the one on the sofa though.

I am sure he does find you attractive, but it's hard at the end, it's all very uncomfortable, it can kill the moment for either partner very easily.

Sorry you feel so low. Maybe try and plan some nice things to do tomorrow? Even if it is 'walk to shop, buy magazine and chocolate, sit in bed and read'.

I'm 40 weeks today and felt exactly the same two days ago, had a go at dh for nothing and then a huge cry.

I forced myself to get up with dh yesterday and do things all day, go out, cook, shopping, anything really.

It's a very hard time emotionally, huge hormone levels and a date we have been aiming for for months.

Have you been able to talk to your dh? I know I feel huge and horrible but that's because of all the sore bits and pain moving. Dh doesn't see that so still sees me as me, yours is probably the same.

Thanks that is reassuringly hear. We have talked it through now and seems it is just my hormones all over the place, he said maybe it's a sign baby is coming soon! Not getting my hopes up! I am back in bed

I feel a bit alone tonight too
I'm glad you got things sorted x x
