Pregnancy is hard! Advice?

Lynzee • Girl Mom 🎀🧸💕

Unreasonably upset prego wife here...

I find that since becoming pregnant marriage is so much more difficult. I’m so much more sensitive, I feel like a burden on my husband, and am truly feeling depressed. I’m just over 19 weeks pregnant with my first, and this was a planned pregnancy, but I didn’t expect it to be THIS hard. I find I’m more hard on my husband and less forgiving, even of past mistakes that have already been resolved— I just can’t let go of things. My heart hurts, and my marriage is hurting because of it. Don’t get me wrong, I love him deeply, and he loves me. This mental state seems to have come on since pregnancy, is that a coincidence or is it normal to be feeling like this? Everyone talked about PPD, but is it normal to be struggling WHILE pregnant? Is this something I should talk to my dr. about during my next appointment? Seriously, any advice helps. I’ve never felt more alone in a situation.

I’m exactly like that in pregnancy too. I’ve talked to my husband about it and he knows I just can’t help it. Sometimes I find it helps to just go in a quiet room and get a good cry in. I usually sleep better if I cry which in turn helps with the next day.

I think what you're saying is normal but if you're concerned talk to your doctor. Pregnancy is stressful and you're hormonal plus you know it's only going to get harder when the baby comes. Try and remember this is new to him and he might not know how to deal with your emotions (that's what my husband said) you two are in this together just remember you're on the same team

Your hormones are changing like crazy! It is totally normally to be emotional, angry ect. Just keep an eye on it though as it shouldn’t take over your life. I have definitely been snappier at my husband and when I ask him to do things and he questions it I’m like ‘BECAUSE I SAID, why do I have to explain’ (keeping in mind these ‘things’ are swapping the upstairs couches for the ones in the garage because I think they’ll be more comfortable when baby comes haha). I have definitely been meaner towards my hubby so you’re definitely not alone. But please talk to someone if you’re finding it is getting too much xx
