I know I’m lucky. There are people who cannot have children. But I cannot help but be fed up. I haven’t slept properly since before December, and these past 2 weeks I seem to be up since 5, regardless of the time I manage to fall asleep or the amount of times I wake in the night, tossing and turning, never able to stay comfy. I was sick 6 times today. I’m not sure if it’s morning sickness or a bug. But it won’t go. I feel like my partner doesn’t care, so I get annoyed or angry or cry- no wonder he isn’t that interested in me right now. I must be a nightmare. Only recently has my baby stopped sitting on my siatic nerve- I couldn’t walk, get up to check on dinner or even turn positions in the night without being in agony. And resting made it worse. I have been suffering with depression, but keep being passed around clinics to “get the best care”. I’ve given up. I have nothing for my baby. My partner doesn’t yet have a job- we both moved. Money is going down. I know he’s trying but that doesn’t magic up a pram, or a car seat. I just want my belly back. I want to feel in control again. I know that’s selfish. But I don’t know what to do. I don’t really know what I’m looking for in response to this. I just guess I wanted to talk to put it into words, and put it out somewhere.

Hey OP I do feel for you, it’s meant to be a lovely time that most people enjoy but pre natal depression isn’t spoke about much, not as much as it should be IMO. I just wanted to say I hope things improve for you. You know you can apply for your sure start grant soon & start buying baby bits maybe that’ll make you feel better. Try downloading Shpock it’s got a lot of baby things for sake from people in your local area. I have bought a few things on there 🙂x

I know, that’s what’s making me feel all the more bad. I’m seeing my midwife soon, so I’ll hopefully get that sorted soon and I’ll take a look- I just want to sleep these 14 weeks, then wake up to the day he comes x

Oh OP, I had sickness for the first 5 months it was awful it really made me feel low. Everyone else loved being pregnant & felt amazing & I was so miserable ☹️ talk to your midwife to see if she can offer any help. It makes it worse too when the weather is lovely & you can’t even get out of the house. What about putting a lounger chair in the garden with a nice smoothie or something? Maybe a little fresh air will do you some good x

I will do. It feels good to know that there’s people out there who understand x

Pregnancy can be really shit. I've never had particularly bad pregnancies but I've never enjoyed being pregnant. Just please know that you're not alone in how you feel, and don't feel bad for how you feel either.
