Feeling so down at 37 weeks

I'm 37 weeks and for the past few days I've not been able to stop crying. Is this just hormones at this point of pregnancy? No one thing is getting me down, a lot of things - I'm anxious about labour, I really hate my stretch marks - one look at them and I'm in tears, I feel like there's so much I can't do physically at the moment, I finished NCT last week and feel like I didn't really make any friends - I'm even jealous of DH because he's so much better in social situations. I thought starting maternity leave would make me feel better but I just feel alone all day. I'm so looking forward to meeting my baby but wish I could stop crying!

@BlueRaincoat89 I'm 35 weeks and can completely relate! Maternity leave has left me feeling really lonely, friends don't come around as much, I can barely move around so even if a friend did ask me to say go shopping, I would last about an hour! The silliest things make me cry. I'm feeling really unattractive at the moment too, and miss the days when my partner would come on to me none stop. (I can't believe I'm saying that!) lol even thought actually he's just thinking of me I can't help but let all these stupid things get me down. It's hormones just a few more weeks to get done with!!! But your not alone! X

I felt a bit like that - just try and enjoy lazing about, TV, eating sleeping etc. My dd is 5 months and id kill for even a couple of hours downtime!!

Netflix!

@twistedpink I'm the same, I really miss the intimacy with DH but he says he won't try anything with me out of respect. I feel way too unattractive to start anything with him so nothing happens!

@Bea1985 I know I should be valuing this quiet time and I'll look back in a few months and wonder what was I thinking lol

This is me! 37 weeks and want to cry, been this way since weekend.
I'm just fixation on what could go wrong and can't shift the feeling that something will :(
