Hi everyone,
Has anyone got advice on how to deal with stress and low mood in pregnancy. I'm 20 weeks and don't think it's depression as I've had that previously and I'm not sure I'm that bad.
At the moment, it's just caused by a lot going on, we moved house over the weekend and while I tried to take it easier, it's very hard not to get involved with it all. I took yesterday off work knowing I'd need some recovery time anyway as I've been struggling with pregnancy exhaustion.
Anyway, I went to get my hair done yesterday as a bit of a relaxing pick me up, I got home and out of nowhere I just burst into tears and I couldn't stop crying for hours until I went to bed. There was nothing that triggered it, I don't know if it was the stress of moving and going back to work today creeping up on me or what.
I've woken up this morning and still feel exhausted so will probably call in sick today as I've not got the energy or mental capacity to work right now. But has anyone had anything similar and is this normal? I've never had it before where I've just burst into tears out of nowhere.
