Too early to be fed up?

[DaisyHH]

Hello,

I think I just need somebody to tell me it's okay to feel the way I do. I am 29 weeks tomorrow and I feel like I've had enough. I am so tired, tearful, moody!

This is my first pregnancy and I thought I would enjoy it for a while longer before it got 'hard'. I am sat at work right now and I could cry I feel that tired.

I was in MAU yesterday due to raised blood pressure that was picked up at a midwife appointment and I can't help but think that the stresses of life outside of pregnancy are contributing to that.

Am I being over the top if I slow down a bit and take some time off work? I don't know what I would do if I was sat at home, probably be bored but I just feel like I need to do nothing for a while.

Sorry for the rant.

You're not being over the top OP. I remember being 30 weeks and feeling exactly the same. I was counting down the weeks because the tiredness had kicked in all over again and I just felt rubbish.

There is nothing wrong with slowing down a bit and taking some time off to catch up on some much needed rest. You will come back feeling better mentally and physically (hopefully)

Hi OP. As PP said, not over the top at all. As I came into my third trimester my mental health dipped and the exhaustion definitely came back and contributed to that. I took some time off work and I really needed it and helped me rest and get myself back on track. Whilst I’m still not feeling great (39 weeks and due to deliver baby on Friday), slowing down has definitely helped so go for it. Best of luck x
