Feeling overwhelmed by everything at 32 weeks

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and have had a great/ healthy pregnancy. It has made me a lot more anxious though as I'm not normally an anxious person.
However the last week or so I get so overwhelmed by everything! I cleaned the house on Saturday but didn't manage to put the last load of washing on and I can't get over it, i'll put it on tonight but it's really stressing me out - is this normal for anyone?
I had my Baby shower yesterday which was so so lovely but meant I haven't done a weekly food shop and I feel like i've totally let myself, my husband and the baby bump down. (Im not great at food shops normally so I don't understand why I'm freaking out so much now).
My husband is being amazing, so supportive and helps me realise I'm just stressing about silly things but when I'm at work i feel like i could just cry with the pressure I've put myself under.
Has anyone else experienced feelings like this during the last 2 months of pregnancy? I understand hormones are crazy things but just wondering if anyone else has felt totally overwhelmed by normal daily jobs.

I can relate. Take it easy. I read somewhere - in your third trimester you use up more energy lying on the couch than a bodybuilder does in the gym. Just think about how well you are growing your little one. xxx

Alternative strategy:

Write your OH a list of the things that you aren’t getting done that are bothering you and ask him to do them.
