Depressed?

So for the last week (I'm 37 weeks today), I felt really down and tired. It is a chore for me to even get out of bed. 2 weeks ago I was running around the house like a maniac nesting. It scares me that all of a sudden I'm so down. Anyone else feel this way or been through this?

    I think maybe it could be nerves. I was so so excited and felt ready to conquer the world a few weeks ago.
    Now that I've hit week 34, i'm freaking out on the inside because I don't know what the hell i'm doing as a FTM. 
    My daugters soon to be pediatrician said, "If your symptoms of depression worsen, or you feel like you could be a danger to yourself then you NEED to call your OB, or even the pediatrician." Because I too, am worried about the depression.
    I think it does have a lot to do with nerves though. At least for me. But knowing that DH is ready and excited helps out a lot.

    For me it's anxiety and I'm so short tempered with my toddler. I feel waves of depression from being big, wanting my body back, and wanting to do something fun... I would defintely talk to your doctor though, but your feelings are normal. Such a hormonal time.

    I can definitely agree with wanting my body back, and feeling anxious. Things will hopefully get back to the "norm" soon for us.

    Lately I've had some really depressed days but then the next day I'll be fine. I'm really hoping it's just due to hormones.

    I was very short tempered and feeling down a couple weeks ago, but since I've hit 36/37 weeks I'm feeling back to normal! Hopefully it passes for you!

    I've been feeling that way all of a sudden... Any chore feels like a massive chore and I keep feeling like I'm wasting my day and it angers me! I think it's just cause we are at the end and just want our babies here and that energy back. My friend gave birth today and shared a photo and a little clip of him being cute and I got all emotional wanting my baby here too. Just remember things always get better :)

    I just turned 34 weeks and have been feeling depressed on and off for the past week. It's hitting me that I'm about to be a single mother. And I have so much anxiety about how the father will be once I give birth. He's been super difficult since I found out I was pregnant. When I'm alone my feelings seem super overwhelming. I've relied heavily on my mom. I talk it all out with her. It helps so much to have someone that has been through a pregnancy and been through the hormones. Lol.

    I am so happy you have your mom! There should be no such thing as a "single" mother. We all need somebody and mom's make a great somebody! I'm married, but I still have days when I feel lonely and overwhelmed. The depression doesn't discriminate. I've found going somewhere quiet and putting my hand on my belly and speaking or sometimes just loving my baby lifts my spirits. Just us. Just our bond, our mother/son love. It helps to put everything into perspective. Your baby already loves you!!

    Thank you ladies. It's good to know I'm not alone. Hopefully it's just last minute jitters.

    I'm depressed about finances right now. Kind of another topic- but I've been revisiting our budget. I don't know how we're going to manage another $150 a week( that's with DS starting kindergarten)... Let alone what summer care will cost. We're already just skimming by some weeks. Super stressful.

    Definitely feeling you on this one. I was 37 weeks on Monday and this has been a really hard week. It takes all my energy just to get out of bed and start the day and then I don't want to leave the house. Then I get upset because once the baby is here I won't really be leaving the house much for at least a few weeks so I should be getting out as much as possible while I still can. Vicious cycle. I think it's being tired, hormonal, a little lonely, gigantic and anxious. Hopefully it will all leave me, along with him, at birth and I can be my normal-happy-go-get-em self for my little man
