Emotional and frazzled

[Mrsmummy90]

Hi,

I'm having a bit of a wobble today. Have a 1yo dd and am 19 weeks with dc2. I'm finding it's all just getting a bit much and my hormones are going crazy. This evening, everything is pissing me off and I'm annoyed one minute and hysterically crying the next. I just don't feel I'm coping very well.
I'm not sure what I'm asking for really but a hand hold would be nice.

Sending hugs OP have you got the support of your other half?

this is my first, but I find my midwife is super supportive and will always listen to me if I'm anxious - she points me in the right direction for support. Do you have an appointment soon?

I did find that at around 21/22 weeks the hormones levelled out a bit and I got a bit of a break from physical and mental exhaustion xx

Yeh my Dh is amazing and literally the most perfect man I could have ever asked for but everything he has said tonight has annoyed me somehow and he made a tiny comment about a pile of towels he'd folded and I burst into tears. 🙈 I really need to chill!

Congratulations on your pregnancy!I'm glad you have a supportive midwife. It's always helpful to has someone you can confide in.

My midwife with dd was incredible but this one is so busy that she forgets to do stuff that she says she will and I feel like I can rely on her. She's really nice but I can't help feeling like she's just not that bothered. I saw her yesterday for my anomaly scan but might have to call her tomorrow.

Fingers crossed mine calm down soon. I don't remember being this crazy with dd lol.

How are you finding your pregnancy so far?

Sorry for the essay lol and thanks for the hugs!

I'm 34 weeks now and I have to say it's been a rollercoaster - one minute I adore my partner and the next he does my head in! I basically cry at everything as well which gets quite annoying!

I think sometimes with midwives they forget that this isn't something that we're 'used to', they see it all day everyday but for us it's all scary and new, even though it's your second!

Are you at all able to put your little one in nursery for a half day or day a week so that you can have some alone time? Or maybe at the weekend your other half can do something with her so that you can relax and have a bath and read a book?

Not long to go now! Do you know what you're having?
Yeh I get what you mean! I know it's my problem and not him so I tend to just keep quiet but last night I was just so annoyed about everything!

Yeh I guess that's true. It's just a bit disappointing after having such a fantastic experience with my first midwife.

I've been considering putting her in nursery for a day a week when the baby comes but I might do it a bit earlier as you suggest. Tbh the thought of her in nursery terrifies me. I'm so worried about something happening to her.
