I think I am just looking for support...I am a mother of a 3.5 year old daughter and currently 24 weeks pregnant. I am so looking forward to being a mum of two, but I can't seem to cope with the general ups and downs of normal life at the moment. I feel like my head is going to explode, I am so emotional (possibly just hormones!) and I feel like I have a knot in my stomach all of the time. I constantly worry about everything from cleaning/washing that needs doing, where I need to be when, to panicking about having people over to the house. My husband is so caring but he doesn't understand and just tells me not to worry, but that is easier said than done.
Putting this in writing makes it all sound really pathetic but I am hoping someone can tell me this isn't completely abnormal! Thanks in advance :)

Sorry to hear you are feeling that way. Definitely speak to your MW, no one will think you are crazy. Even from this small thread it is clear that it is a common occurrence, that is why they have specially trained teams to help. I hope you start to feel better. I completely understand the worries of something awful happening, I am exactly the same and it feels so irrational.
Do let us know how you get on. Big hugs xx
