Hate being pregnant

This sounds like a really insensitive post but it's really not intentional and I'm sorry to anyone it offends but I hate being pregnant. I have zero motivation for anything and just feel like sleeping which in turn makes me feel so guilty about my two other children and it's a downward spiral from there. I work full time and that is about all I do lately. I don't want to clean the house which was usually what motivated me to get organised and this now looks like the local tip - then I'd always try and go out with the girls even if it was for a walk but I'm sat here like a zombie at 23 weeks. I don't feel like 'myself' and I wish I could fast forward to September. I don't know if I'm depressed or it's hormones causing all of this but today is my first day of annual and I've sat on the couch and done absolutely nothing apart from feeding them. My partner tries to be kind but I know my depressive/miserable state causes an atmosphere in the house and I'd rather avoid him altogether when he gets back from work. I don't know what would help but I'm in such a rut.

I sort of know how you feel. I really didn't like being pregnant. I felt invaded and like I was housing an alien. It was exhausting and overwhelming. Have you spoken to your midwife or gp? It sounds like you might need some support and they might be able to offer it, to help bring you a bit of equilibrium. Take care of yourself x

I do feel for you. It’s so incredibly hard. Definitely talk to someone about how you feel and just know that it won’t last forever. This is just a phase. Things at home might slip, but that’s ok. It’s not the end of the world.

good luck x
