Really emotional

I've been fairly calm and relaxed this whole pregnancy but the last week I could feel my emotions starting to play up. I've cried a few times for no reason at all but today I can't bring myself to get out of bed, I had a physio appointment I've been waiting 6 weeks for and ended up in tears from anxiety about leaving the house. Realised I had nothing for breakfast or lunch in the house. Was feeling a bit sick from being hungry but just couldn't physically leave the house to go get a few basic things to eat. Spent maybe 3/4 hours today just crying and crying. I don't know what's wrong. I just want my partner home from work to comfort me.

This happened to me a few months ago and it turned out my iron stores were low. Got them checked and got some iron prescribed and I feel so much more emotionally stable xx

I’ve felt like this too. It’s probably your hormones changing and getting ready for labour to come.

I was like that today! Got up for breakfast, then went back to bed. Had a couple of small naps this morning till lunchtime... Fed up being on my own and exhausted from having my son stay last week. Even though my Husband had his own issues and triggered me a couple of times yesterday I just needed his support today. I couldn't stop myself cleaning the bathroom this afternoon, so I'm guessing it's all part of a big final shift 🙃 I have low ferritin and am on iron tablets, so that hasn't helped me. Worth checking if you haven't been. Not long to go. It may take a while to stabilise even after the baby is born, but it'll pass 💖 Try to rest and do something to take your mind off it. I've had films on all day! There's always deliveroo or uber eats 😁

Was the same! Had an emotional rollercoaster for about a week now while waiting for an elective caesarean today. All these will disappear the day you are to give birth. To me it was a mix of realising that life will change forever, that I won't be able to protect my baby the same way once he gets out and my mom driving me crazy 🤣
