Feeling really low.

I am feeling really down and I don't know what to do.

I'm 28 weeks pregnant with baby #3 and I'm just not coping. I don't remember feeling this way in previous pregnancies.

I've piled on the weight. I was a healthy weight and physically fit as was going to the gym regularly pre-pregnancy. Morning sickness and now SPD basically eliminates any chance of me getting any exercise and my metabolism has just ground to a halt so I've just ballooned. Every time I see my reflection I want to cry. I feel hideous. Last pregnancies I loved my bump but now I just hate my entire body, to the point that I don't want to leave the house.

I've been too hot and uncomfortable for weeks which is just adding to my misery. My legs have swelled up so much that I can no longer wear dresses as my thighs chafe and get very sore.

I have SPD, mild at the moment so can still move around a bit but it's very painful at times and I'm aware it just gets worse as the pregnancy progresses so not really looking forward to that much.

I feel like my children are missing out on their mummy because I'm so miserable all the time and that makes me feel dreadful.

I know I should be grateful and happy that I'm pregnant and I really want to be but I can't help feeling like this and I just don't know what to do.
