Anyone else feeling really depressed?

Question

Im getting induced on Monday and lately I've been feeling overly depressed and constantly just feeling like crying! Everything is stressing me out and as excited as I am for our sweet boy to be here I'm terrified of labor and just overall being a mom! I haven't felt like this until now 😞 how are you ladies coping with depression? I don't want to go out and do anything or be around anyone but my husband!

Answer

Girls, it’s normal and totally ok to feel they way you do. It’s a life altering moment. I’m pregnant with my second and completely scared of it all. Raising my first, who is 4, has not been easy and certainly different from how I imagined it but also great in many ways. Things will be different. Sometimes not great but I promise you that it’ll be worthwhile. There will be times where you will worry, cry, think you’re going crazy but what you receive in return is far greater. It’s important to get help and know when to ask for it. Rely on your friends and family or healthcare professional. The love you receive and give to your child is truly unconditional and it’s impossible to understand till you have and raise a child. Good luck girls. Take care of yourselves!

Answer

I'm not getting induced or anything
But for me being STILL pregnant is making me so depressed. I feel the same way as you & I cry my heart out on a daily basis 
I'm tired of being heavy & pregnant and I just want my baby out already

Answer

I know how you feel , tomorrow they’ll tell me my induction date :(

Answer

I’m crying all the time again too ☹️ I was crying in bed last night just for being so uncomfortable

Answer

I feel similar. I’m so excited to be a mummy, but I’m also starting to feel absolutely terrified. I guess I just could never imagine going into labour and having a baby after all this. I still can’t imagine it, which makes me feel like I will be pregnant forever.
I’ve been super emotional about random stuff and I’ve been almost hit with the reality that motherhood is going to be really tough. I’ve even stalled on nesting. I was really really motivated and cleaned the whole house, now it needs cleaning again and I can’t be bothered to do anything. I still have so much to do, and only a week until my due date.
What doesn’t help is my dog has to be put to sleep next week 😔♥️

Answer

I had to be induced with my first and it honestly probably helped me not be so stressed because the nurses let you know how dilated you are and you know what’s going on! It is kind of boring just laying there, but instead of having to worry about timing contractions you are hooked up to monitors! So I felt like it took a lot of stress off the whole situation! But this pregnancy I have been very depressed in the last few months I don’t want to ever leave my house! But I suck it up for my husband and daughter! You are almost finished and you’ll forget about all this once you see your baby! That will be all that matters! I hardly remember anything about any pain the first time! I’m worried about this time around and it’s my second! It’s just the fear of the unknown!

Answer

I’ve been feeling pretty depressed in these last few weeks of pregnancy. I just found out I have to have a c-section instead of a natural, unmedicated birth, and coming to terms with that has added to my feeling of sadness. My husband has been great through it all and is always there for me if I need to ugly cry at random. I’m not really comfortable sharing my feelings with anyone else, so I’m lucky to have him!

Answer

I feel the saaame exact way! Every day is becoming a struggle. I’m scheduled for induction on Tuesday and I am anxious every second and it’s impossible to relax. You’re certainly not alone! I cry multiple times a day
