Does anyone else just feel mentally struggling and have no support even when you try to reach out?

Question

Answer

I have support, my husband, mother in law and my sister are amazing and have helped me so much this pregnancy, but I still struggle with being pregnant, a SAHM, having 2 appts weekly due to complications, etc.. The appts themselves are taking a toll on me in these final weeks to the point where I’m going to talk to my MW about how they are effecting me mentally and physically. I’m finding it hard to enjoy my final weeks of pregnancy and enjoy the time we have left as a family of 3 before we come 4. It’s ok to feel a certain way but if you’re not getting support from loved ones/family, I do suggest talking to your Dr. Even if you DO have support, sometimes it’s just not enough or not in the way you need it. Hang in there 💕

Answer

I am so sorry you are feeling alone. The changes that pregnancy brings not just to our body, but our life can be really hard. Sometimes family and friends are just not what we need them to be. What about a counselor or maybe a church? That is another reason this group is fantastic. Praying for you.

Answer

While I have a great support system, I also have a fair share of incredibly negative family members. It’s gotta rough at times that hubby and I called out my MIL for misbehaving - calling me out for having a fat belly in front of people or being judgmental about us not telling family the name of the baby. 
I’m also compared sometimes to another family member that is due on the same day as us. She’s very fit and I’m not. Now they want a side by side comparison pic. She’s a size 6/8. I’m a 14/16... not exactly making me feel all warm and fuzzy, ya know?
