Pre Labour Depression

Tensity10 · February 2015

i am just curious if other moms to be are feeling down and somewhat depressed. I feel so angry at my body for not going into labour or even showing any signs of going into labour on its own. I was previously induced and was hoping to avoid it this time. I feel huge, sleep is uncomfortable, my clothes no longer fit properly, my appearance is suffering dearly, I feel like everyone who was due around the same time as me has had there babies even ladies who were due weeks after me are holding there bundles. I am normally a very strong independed women and lately I hide in the bathroom and cry it out. My husband who doesn't comment on anything except how slow I am to do everything just ignores any comments I make. Am I actually becoming a crazy pregnant women who is out of control? Anyone else feeling similar?

I've had no weird hormone changes this pregnancy (my husband even comments that I've chilled out since my BFP) but with my due date being tomorrow and no signs of labor I am feeling like a crazy wet puddle of emotions. I had to sit myself down today and remind myself how lucky I am so have a healthy little guy who just isn't ready to be here quite yet. That always helps me to come back down to earth. I know it's hard, but you'll get through it and have the best little end result!

Ditto to what pp said. But it also sounds like you should have an open forum with your husband. I would not tolerate that kind behavior from my husband this late in the game. If he truly says that to you often, thats inexcusable and just flat out unnecessary.

You sound exactly like me. I just keep trying to tell myself it will be over soon and will all be worth it in the end. I was not nearly this miserable st the end of my first pregnancy, so even with this every time is different.
