Feeling Overwhelmed

[Firsttimemum1829]

Current feeling! Don’t feel like I am on top of the house at the moment, washing,ironing and cleaning and this is before the baby is here. Feeling worried about my GTT on Tuesday, what if I have gestational diabetes? Also started to do some reading about the birth and pain relief and feeling overwhelmed by that now. I have also developed carpal tunnel so have a really painful wrist. I know it’s probably tiredness and hormones making me feel like this, can’t wait until next month when we have a week off work together. Anyone else feeling like this?

Me too. Can't stay on top of washing, worried about everything being ready in time, massive SpD pain, absolutely knackered. DH has had hours reduced so I'm hoping to work until due date but not sure I'll make it, already dreading the thought of another day - let alone more weeks

Hate to moan as I'm so excited to be a mummy but really quite overwhelmed and stressed at the mo. Hope it's just hormones or else I fear I'm on root to PND Xx

It's completely natural to feel this way. I think most people do, even the most hardcore of us! Pregnancy is tough on so many levels. Look after your mental health...have treats, take rests, talk to people

I feel the same to. I cleaned my bedroom today and couldn't believe how dusty I'd let it get. It's always the room I end up leaving untill last, so hard to keep on top of everything. I'm 31 weeks now but wondering how I'm actually going to get through the next couple of months.

if you have GD you will be looked after don't worry.
