My second trimester of pregnancy has gone really well apart from some pelvic pain, however over the last couple of weeks my mood has really deteriorated. I feel quite down a lot of the time and I’m struggling to find the energy for work, seeing friends and family etc. I feel teary a lot of time time and just want to stay in bed. I also feel like I’m counting down until baby arrives and it feels so far away, and I know first babies are often born after their due date.
I’m on citalopram and have been for a few years, I started taking it for anxiety and low mood and have always found it really helpful although I do have down days occasionally like everyone.
I’m just a bit concerned that my mood has deteriorated so suddenly as I’m going into my third trimester. I’m already on meds and I have spoken to my partner about it, he’s very supportive and the only time I feel less down is when I’m at home with him, but I’m sure it’s bothering him that I don’t want to do much once I get home from work.
Is this normal for the third trimester? I’m going to mention it to my midwife at 28 weeks but don’t know what else I can do, I just feel very gloomy and drained all the time.
