Just that really. Today is my due date. Have woken up feeling low the last few days, DH is struggling to cheer me up. I feel bad about it. I’ve tried to concentrate on doing small nice things each day - today we went on a proper walk to look at the autumn leaves, yesterday I baked a cake, etc etc. Nothing is really working though. Pandemic is not helping. Have felt pretty isolated since going off on mat leave and a lot of the nice things I’d maybe do to pass the time and keep feeling positive are not possible now. This last 9 months have been so incredibly long. What with nervousness about catching Covid as I’ve headed towards the end of pregnancy, I’ve not really seen anyone much as I don’t want to get on public transport.
I’m worried that I’ll be going into the sleep-deprived newborn stage already having felt pretty down for a while.
(I am of course totally grateful for having had a healthy pregnancy so far etc etc...)
Anyone else feeling/felt the same? Any tips for keeping my chin up?
