Feeling Down

My husband and I both wanted to have a baby and have been so excited...lately though, I've felt so down. I'm not saying I don't want a baby now, because I look forward to this little one and I already love her so much. However, I just feel so DONE with being pregnant. It hasn't helped that I have had a less than wonderful pregnancy...bleeding, severe hyperemesis, and now I have contractions every day. I just want this pregnancy over, and I sort of resent my husband because I know he wants more kids. And then I feel like a terrible wife and mother. Its so hard for me to feel motivation to do anything. Right now, I'm still in my pjs! I don't feel like this "beautiful miracle" is taking place inside me...in fact, I am grossed out by everything about having a big belly and feeling kicks and punches. That sounds terrible! I of course amglad she's moving around in there...but all of the sudden anything having to do with this pregnancy is making me sad. Does anyone else feel this way? I know once she's here I will be so happy to have her in my life...but right now I don't know how to feel better.  

God i thought i was the only one who felt like that. And my husband just doesnt get it. Like somedays i feel him move and i cry because i am just so over being preggo and huge. I know im down to my last 2 1/2 weeks but it just seems like pregnancy never ends!!!

Everything is getting to me right now too.........pregnancy blues are not fun, and it gets to the point where enough is enough. I was stupid and got pregnant again, totally forgetting what it was like and even though I haven't had any complications thus far, my husband is the biggest headache of all. Of course I will love this baby no matter what, but mother hood comes with so much more than a baby.......
I just posted a topic under yours, you'll see my point, haha.

girl, you've still got 2 months to go before you hit full term... you really sound down... maybe you should talk to your dr?? I'm sure that by talking to other ladies on here who are going through the same thing will help somewhat... but you should definitely let your dr know that you are feeling depressed ... good luck!!

I with you, I don't want a premie by any means, but this pregnancy is really getting to me too!! I am just so over it! I am on tuburtline (sorry, I can't spell it) it sucks, trying to work to keep my job and insurance but I am afraid they are going to get sick of me! I reached viabilty today, so that is a milestone and relieved a little stress, I have been so worried about having him early and not surviving, I know that it is not a absolute, but it does help some of my stress. 16 weeks officially to go!! Course I think he will be about 3 weeks early just like my son (cross my fingers) But I am so ready too!!! Come on summer hurry up and get here!!!! Your not the only one!! PM me if you want to rant, I need to also sometimes!!!

I feel so bad about my job too. I am in hospice and have to do a lot of baths and showers, lifting, and I am getting so tired. Yesterday I was with a patient and played cards with her as she coughed all over them.........shes sick, and I just sat there thinking, I swear to god woman, if you get me sick..........sigh. My sister had a stillborn at 36 weeks and now that I am approaching that time in 3 weeks, I am so freaked out by it.
And I am constantly having leg cramps at night that feel like my leg is being cut in two!!!!!!!!!!

I understand...I'm an EMT and I also have worked in several ICUs. I can't imagine still being at my job, if I hadn't been forced to quit because of all the complications I was having. Good luck with that!

I know, 2 months seems like such a long time! Of course, in the grand scheme of things, its not long at all, I keep trying to tell myself. Luckily my husband is very supportive. I had problems with depression in the past, mostly around the time my mom had cancer, but I had no idea how it would "come back" when I was pregnant. I just keep trying to think of having my little girl actually here, and that helps get me through. But you're right, hearing other ladies on here are going through the same thing makes me feel less of a bad mommy.

I am sorry to hear about your mom, believe me I totally understand that, I lost my mom in Aug 06 to cancer. I still have my moments sometimes everyday, it is getting better now, except I still am having a real hard time with the fact my Lil Ben will never get to know what a great nana he had and that she isn't going to be here with me, she was with me thru my whole pregnancy and delivery with my son and she was a great grandmother.
If you don't mind me asking, what is your mothers status now? Like I said PM me if you want to talk.

I don't see how you do it, my mom was on hospice and there is no way I could have done all I did while pregnant. Be careful don't overdue it!!
