In a Funk

MissLauraPants

I know there were a couple of posts the other day in pregnancy blues and I am totally feeling it. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to feel better or get out of the funk. I've been pretty much not myself this whole pregnancy. I just feel down, tired, isolated and not wanting to do anything with anyone. I think it is a combo of this hot hot weather (Houston here) and pretty much everything I used to do I cannot do now. I've never weighed in the 130s and while I'm not so depressed about my body it's just the weight is weighing me down physically. I don't want to hang out with friends because it is a chore and I feel like I'm going through something they can't understand at the moment. My boyfriend isn't very good with talking about feelings and he is anxious about a baby on the way too so he isn't the best person to talk to. He almost would rather be in denial a bit more longer so he occupies his time with fixing our deck etc. I'm hoping this passes when the baby comes and I'm ready to feel back to my old self but at the same time when that happens ill have a baby which will literally change everything. I just feel stuck in this strange limbo. Bleh.

I find it easier to do things with just one friend instead of a larger group maybe that will work for you.  I also try to pick activities or times that I know I will stay cooler.  Like evenings or going to the movies or the mall.

Surprisingly a short walk is an amazing mood lifter.  I try to go early in the morning when it is cooler.

This time of pregnancy is always feels challenging to me.  Anxious for the baby to come, getting more and more physically uncomfortable, and hormones are all out of whack.  Try to be patient with yourself.

Right there with you..I just can't seem to get really happy uggg.

I work with my husband so we spend every day together and recently he wants to go out with just his friends because he feels like it's his last chance for freedom before baby..so I am understanding but it's like wtf..I get no fun/freedom before baby! My friends invite me out but I have to refuse going to bars this preggers..it seems absurd to me. I'm being a b-itch and I know it but its so hard not to be.

All I do is count the days..which are 79 by the way! I can handle 79!!

i feel like everyone is in this right now during these particular weeks.  Hoping it's just a hormone surge, i don't recall feeling this way my whole third trimester.   have you tried doing some yoga?

Well I'm glad I'm not alone, I hope it does pass. Maybe sone prenatal yoga would help, I'll have to look into it. I need to get some natural mosquito spray or dryer sheets to try to go for a walk, the Mosquitos are awful!
