33 weeks hormones

[halle123]

Basically I am an emotional wreck at the moment! I wake up on a morning and feel sick to my stomach and that stays with me all day. I'm having awful dreams about my partner cheating on me and other things that are definitely not helping. I'm a ticking time bomb it's not 'am I going to cry today' It's 'when' and I don't even need a reason! I just got in from doing a food shop, sat on the couch and started crying!
I just have this awful feeling and don't know what it is, is this my hormones playing with my head?
Im 33 weeks tomorrow and just praying im not going to feel like this for the rest of my pregnancy ☹️

Ahh poor you - this sounds exhausting! Do you think you feel sick because the baby is pressing on your stomach, or is it stress? Hard to say if it’s ‘just’ hormones making you feel grotty or something else. Have you had issues with anxiety/mental health in the past at all?

Taking some time to relax and look after yourself would be a good idea, if you can. Is your partner supportive? It might be good to mention how you’re feeling to your midwife, they might have some advice/resources/reassurance to offer?

I turned 35 weeks today and earlier in the week I experienced major outbursts with my moods that literally come out of no where! One minute I was fine, the next I felt REALLY moody and after, I was in tears for hours and couldn't stop. Couldn't control it at all.

I think part of my reasoning is due to things becoming very real at this point and I keep thinking about how I am not ready and questioning my ability of becoming a Mum. I did speak with my midwife about this yesterday and she said to monitor how I go and if I feel that I need to be referred to someone then she will do so. I don't think I am at that stage as the worries I am having are completely normal but I definitely agree with PP, have a good chat to your midwife and see what she says. Also use your partner as support and be honest with him about your dreams if he doesn't know about them because he will hopefully put your mind at rest with that part of it at least

I really hope you are feeling better soon Xx

I'm 33 weeks too and can empathise with how you feel. I've started feeling sick the last couple of days and also been quite tearful for a number of weeks. I think it's like another poster (sorry haven't managed to retain your name!) said that things are becoming very real, very fast and our bodies and minds are coping with a lot of changes. I've been feeling either ill or in pain for most of the time for about 7 months now and I think it's catching up with me, it's a long time not to be feeling 'yourself'.

As awful as it sounds im glad it's not just me feeling like this! I definitely think the nerves are starting to kick in and the sick feeling is probably because it's getting close because it's not a feeling of being actually sick, it's like when you get told some bad news and your stomach just drops, that's the feeling I'm getting when I wake up on a morning!
My partner is being amazing, he laughs at my dreams and tells me I'm crazy. He's not the best with words mind he thinks saying 'stop worrying it's all gunna be ok' is enough to actually stop me worrying (if only)
I think I'm also getting a little upset at how much iv drifted from my friends since being pregnant, we've had some lovely weather and they've not been inviting me when going to the pub etc. I know 9/10 I wouldn't have gone but it's still nice to be asked 🤷🏼‍♀️
I can't believe how emotional pregnancy is!

@halle123 Yeah I completely understand what kind of sick feeling you're on about. Not that you're physically going to be sick but that feeling of "dread" if you like. You are probably anxious for what's to come let's face it and that is completely normal and natural. Like you say, pregnancy is emotional and this is probably the biggest thing you will ever go through in your life!
I am glad your partner is lighthearted about the dreams. He sounds like a really good guy and I don't think you need to worry at all
It's a shame you feel you have drifted from friends since being pregnant. Does your friends have children of their own? Do you feel comfortable enough to speak to them about it? It's a little unfair they aren't inviting you, regardless of whether you would have gone or not it would be nice to be asked hey!
