Depressed 😔

So I'm really trying. I'm happy I'm pregnant. I'm already a mom to a beautiful little girl. I love her and I'm finding I'm even more snappy around her even tho I don't mean to be, I still play and happy and do singalong etc but I feel like it's all an act half of the time. I have had alot going on in this pregnancy tbh from possible down syndrome to heart conditions the list goes on and I feel like I've dealt with it fine but mostly alone if I'm honest. I have a fiance and I feel like we have not been our best lately, he has his stuff going on, I have all this and it feels like it's nearly broken us but then again everyone has stuff going on. I'm not sure what to do but I want to feel normal again. I'm pretty sure none of this is normal but im only one person and I need a break from it all tbh, it's just really not possible when your already a mom 🤷🏽‍♀️

I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. Pregnancy is much harder the second time. I used to just nap when i felt like it first time round. Can’t do that now. And while our potential worries aren’t as hard as yours we’ve had added complications this time too - I feel like I spent two weeks being assaulted by the amount of adrenaline in my system What has made the real difference though is my husband stepping up to fill in the gaps. And he’s busy too - his job, launching a business and house renovations to do. But ‘his stuff’ doesn’t get in the way of us, who are his first priory. Your fiance HAS to step up and support you more. You guys are a team, not two people coexisting with separate lives. I think you need to talk to him, and I’d also recommend talking to your midwife about these feelings in case extra help can be found.

Also Don’t worry everyone fakes it with their kids sometimes, even when not pregnant! I love my son to the moon and back but I’m an adult and singing ‘horsie horsie’ 5 times in a row! The fact you’re pushing through shows you’re an amazing mum

Thank you I really appreciate it

I'm exactly in the same position as you. My child tested high risk for downs. The doctor initially told me he was fine and then changed the results. Not only am i livid but also extremely sad. Like you, i have other kids, but the pain hurts nonetheless. I wish you the best and peace.

@Nicole it's very hard to go through especially having soo many tests you feel like your forever waiting for results and when the time comes you don't really get an answer just something else that needs to be checked. Will you be having the needle test? Good luck to you too x

Than you! No. I'm going to opt out. I feel like this test will only create more anxiety for me, and I'm not willing to take the miscarriage risk. I'll deal with my son's challenges when he's born. Que sera...❤️

@Nicole I've said exactly the same thing, I would never risk it when the answer cant really change anything, still love the baby no matter what but the journey is deffo more stressful
