I am 35 weeks pregnant with my 2nd son. I moved 5 hours away from my family when I got pregnant with my first child to be with his father. We are now happily married. But something is just not right this time. I feel horrible saying it but I am not looking forward to having 2 children. I was so excited when I found out we were pregnant again. Now I am wondering if we should have thought it through more. I am so depressed. On bedrest and at home 24/7. I miss my family. I cry all the time and have no energy to do anything. I also am scared for my first born. I am worried his world is going to be shattered. I want to make sure I still give him adequate mommy time but also give time to the newborn. I don't know what to do

Am I the only one who feels this way?
Re: 35 weeks pregnant & depressed
it sounds like you need to talk to your OB and let him/her know. All the hormones you have being pregnant can make you have ppd symptoms before you even have baby. They can give you something to help!
Not sure of your due date, but the August 14 month club has a depression support group set up because so many members are living with depression or other mental health conditions. If you are due in August, you should come over and join. Just don't forget to introduce yourself first if you are new to the board. And if not, maybe other months have something similar, I haven't checked.
Hold in there! I definitely think you should mention it to your ob!!
But also, I feel for you
I'm worried about my dd too - she has been an only child for 4 years and is already being SO clingy as she is nervous about how this new baby is going to change her life.
But I guess all we can do is try to include them in every way we can, and have special one on one time when the baby is sleeping, etc.
I understand the family thing too. I live overseas from my family and it kills me that they want to be there to help me, help with dd, new baby etc but can't . My Mom is coming for a few weeks after the baby is born, but gosh I wish they lived closer for the day to day stuff.
But it is what it is and you can still create your own little family unit with or without supportive inlaws.
Good luck, be kind to yourself, I can only imagine how stressful it is being on bedrest. And know baby will be here soon and then you can fall into a new routine with your older child & the LO and everything will be ok
