Hi all,
wondered what everyone’s experience of stress was like when in their second trimester. I’m 15 weeks and finding that people are expecting too much of me. Work in the NHS is extremely difficult, staff are being unkind to me. My family are calling me selfish because I’ve had to say no to a couple of things (which I never do) and my husband is often supportive but when I try to tell him I’m struggling, he gets self absorbed and tells me how hard his life is. I am getting a bit fed up of people constantly leaning on me when I just need someone to lean on for once, I can’t always be the strong one. I don’t expect to be treated with kid gloves but I’m not feeling very happy or confident at the moment, I always listen to others but I’m not getting the support I need back
ive cried a lot this week and I’m worried about the impact it might have on me and baby. Does anyone have any advice and can you talk to your midwife about this or is it too intense?
thank you
