26 weeks pregnant and so fed up.

[ashaj92]

I think I just need a rant really...
26 weeks+2 today with first baby, and just been feeling really low for the last few days.
Hormones obviously don't help things but just feel so lethargic and been crying quite a lot, feeling so overwhelmed by everything. It's the biggest effort to get up and dressed in the mornings (if I don't have work). All started about 4 days ago, was having a crap day anyway, then baby's next2me crib arrived at the house and I just lost it, totally freaked out that baby will actually be here soon and I've got no clue what I'm doing!!
Still have 8/9 weeks left of work (my job is quite heavy and stressful as it is) and we've still got so much to sort in the house like nursery, decorating etc etc..
I've got a really supportive partner and my family have been amazing. I'm normally such a busy person, always on the go.. Just don't understand why I feel so lost and lonely at the moment.
Hoping someone else has felt something similar... literally feel like I'm going mad. 😣

Hi chick. It's normal to feel overwhelmed, I think most pregnant women have this at some stage in their pregnancies.
I'm having this now at 28 weeks.
We've been really busy sorting our house out over the last week and a half but the last 4 days I've lost all motivation and just want to sleep or do nothing. Also really emotional.
I keep looking at the things I still have to do hoping my nesting instinct kicks back in again.
Most of it is frustration and lack of energy making me feel like I am.
You'll get there though I'm sure, we both will 😊

Yes AmyB - so frustrated!! My mind feels like it's going 100mph but my body is struggling to do 1mph 😂
I was the same with nesting recently, been cleaning and tidying like my life depended on it one moment then crashing out the next.
It's so reassuring to know it's not just me. Still trying to get the motivation to have a shower and get dressed today though!! 🙈
It's like everyone else I know that's pregnant at the moment looks like they're so organised and happy, I suppose from the outside it's easy to make that judgement haha but just keep thinking what am I doing wrong!

@ashaj92 exact same feelings here! I've cleaned and stuff today but have 4 baskets of clean washing staring at me to be folded ironed and put away! Can I just chuck it all in the bin and start again?
Is this your first baby?

Feeling pretty much the same here OP, and this is my 3rd 26 weeks also and Im sore and miserable and just want my body back and to be a person again

@NoMoreDecorating 3rd for me as well

31 weeks here and need a moan too! I know what it's like, I'm meant to be working full time in a very busy job up until 38 weeks but I don't know if I can cope untill then. It's all started hitting me at once, the exhaustion and random pains. I'm knackered.

I have loads to do in prep for his arrival I just can't/dont gave the energy. This will be my first child, I've no idea what I'm doing and what to expect. It's all very scary isn't it? "

AmyB yep this is my first 😊
Milliemoo Aww I'm expecting a little boy too! 💙
Literally every response to this post is exactly how I'm feeling too.. just want my body to feel 'normal' again rather than awkward, uncomfortable and a bit blimp-like 😂
I had a long chat with my mum today, had a good cry and I do feel much better for it. Still fed up but I'm coping.
No one ever tells you about this part of pregnancy, do they! I'm just an emotional wreck these days 😩 Haha x

Me too! I've just spent the past 20 minutes sobbing. I'm 26 weeks tomorrow and we're in the middle of a complete renovation project of our new house. I hate the house and I hate the absolute chaos and complete mess we're living in. I have zero motivation to do anything at all, washing, ironing anything. I'm so stressed because there's just no way this is going to be done by D day which means we'll still be living with building work and a newborn and that's just not how I wanted this to be.
All I keep hearing/thinking is that 'it'll all be worth it in the end'.

29 weeks here and also quite fed up! Second pregnancy and feels much harder this time as so much strain on the body - got a hernia, prolapse and varicose veins argh!!

I'm 23 weeks and feel anxious about work alot for some reason! Pregnancy makes me nuts obvs!
