34 weeks and really lonely

Hello!
I just needed to vent, im currently 34 weeks pregnant and really struggling! I have been off work for a while due to illness (not pregnancy related) now I am off on maternity I'm really fed up!
I feel so guilty for complaining and wishing I could just have my baby because there so many people that would love to be in my position but I just feel like I can't do anything!
The sun is shining, my friends want to be in the beer garden and other friends haven't bothered with me since being pregnant
My husband works 12 hour shifts so I am stuck in the house all day every day. I can get out and about as I drive but I also get quite bad anxiety about driving and parking (so silly I know) and then with it being Easter holidays and Bank Holiday weekend I know the roads will be hectic. I just lie on the sofa drained and feeling like I just want to cry. I don't really have any family close by and my mom lives around 150 miles away. I feel like I get myself so low I don't even want to go and make the bed or put a wash on, I worry that I'm going to end up really depressed, I do have a rendency to fall back into a bad routine when I feel like this as I have no get up and go! Does anybody have any advice on what I could do to prevent this?
I just have a few more weeks to get through but I'm dreading it!

No real advice but I just wanted to say you're not alone. I found the last few weeks of pregnancy hard and lonely too - I got more physically unable to do things.

I now have a 5 month old and lots of mummy friends. It gets better but it isn't always easy. All the best for the rest of your pregnancy xxx

My one piece of advice once baby comes is to get out of house every single day, twice if you can. Even if you have nothing particular planned, go for that walk with baby. I've felt so crappy, moody, down, the last thing I wanted to do was go for a boring walk... but my perspective has always changed and mood lifted when I got back home from that outing.

Good luck Flowers
