Is it normal to feel really down at this stage in pregnancy?
I'm 39weeks & 6 days - due tomorrow & I am crying at everything, feeling so alone & down. Very sore & struggling to do much, also feeling very angry & keep picking fights with my babies father (we're not together anymore)

Has anyone experienced this? Please tell me it means baby is coming soon? 🙏🏼

I can't tell you it means baby is coming soon but can tell you it's totally normal throughout pregnancy esp towards the end to be feeling the way you do.. I'm only 31+4 and this past week I can feel myself getting wound up more about little things it's ridiculous but don't forget your body has been through alot the past 9 months and when you have that end in sight it can be hard esp if you don't feel yourself getting ready for labour. Try relaxing and try calming yourself down when you feel yourself getting agitated. Take some time for yourself and just think no matter what really soon you are going to have your baby here also try and speak with babies father and explain how your feeling if that will help just so he knows your not generally being awkward for nothing lol. I was a nightmare during my 2nd pregnancy with my oh I felt so sorry for him but I just couldn't help how I was being as like you I constantly felt down and so uncomfortable. This time around I have tried my best not to snap as much.
Hope you feel better soon and baby doesn't keep you waiting xx
