Hi
I was hoping someone would be able to relate or give me some advice as I don't really have any friends with children around here and it's my 1st pregnancy..
For the past few weeks I have been up and down like a yo yo and seem to just burst into tears at any time. I feel like my OH doesn't love me anymore, despite him reassuring me that he does. He spends hours on his phone every evening and we never do anything together. He doesn't seem excited for the baby and that then brings my mood down.

I don't really get on with my mum which is fine by me, she drinks a lot, sends hurtful messages and is only interested in her family when her boyfriend is away. All of a sudden now I'm pregnant she is texting me about things she wants to buy. sometimes I forget to reply and she will then message my OH saying there isn't any point in messaging me as I never reply.. he then gets involved and tells me I need to include her which I have tried to do but at the moment I feel so emotionally vulnerable it is just stressing me out that she is doing this and making me more upset! :(
I can't and dont want to tell her how I am feeling because she is so intense and dramatic that she will make me feel 100x worse. On the other hand i know she wants to try and be involved and I don't mind to a certain extent but at the moment I just feel it's too much.
I really don't know what to do. This is not me and I know my OH is getting sick me of me needing constant reassurance, being happy one minute and then crying my eyes out the next. Is this just normal pregnancy hormones? please tell me it will get better in a few weeks time?!

Yes this is normal. I had two sundays in a row around 23-24 weeks where I just cried and cried for no reason.

I still get weepy plenty (31 weeks) but I've not been really blue for a while now.

Pregnancy is a rollercoaster physically and emotionally. If your OH can see this isn't you it must be bleeding obvious it's pregnancy hormones, so tell him to get with the programme and support you. Your body is putting you through the ringer to grow his baby!!

As for your mum, it's your choice how to handle that relationship. It's not up to your OH. So do what you want.
