What the heck is wrong with me?

[gabbyquilts]

i am so annoyed/depressed/unmotivated.
I don't know what to do. I have really been on top of it throughout this pregnancy even though it was winter and it was blah. but now I just feel like doing nothing.
I don't feel like playing with my 2 year old,
I don't feel like going to work,
I don't feel like preparing meals and eating healthy,
I don't feel like drinking anymore tea, or choking down anymore floridex or other supplements,
I don't feel like listening to my stupid hypnobirthing cds or reading the books and affirmations,
I don't feel like going to my midwife appointments and this morning she canceled anyway because someone is having a baby.

What the heck is wrong with me? This is like prodromal transition, haha! It is FINALLY above 50 degrees, but I don't it into anything I own, and I don't feel like going and buying another piece of ugly clothing that I will wear for 2-3 weeks.

Be easy on yourself! You are in a really highly emotionally charged time right now ... so let yourself feel the way you feel. Don't feel guilty and certainly don't get yourself down with a case of the "I shoulds" (I should feel X, I should do Y, etc.).

Do nothing!

I'm in the same boat. I'm feeling useless as a parent these days. We've eaten more prepared foods than I care to admit for lunches and I just don't have the energy to get down and really play with my kids.

I was like this the other week, it's tough!

I don't know what changed but after a couple of days I was much better and snapped out of it. Are you getting enough rest?

of course not, i was up at least 10 times to pee last night, the second to the last time i couldn't get DH to stop snoring no matter how much i shoved and prodded him so I went and layed on the couch. I woke up a little later having a nightmare that my MW called and said she was going out of the country for 2-3 weeks and that if I went into labor that I should just go to the hospital.

My DH is the same in fact he's having a sleep study done tonight since his snoring is so bad. I've learned that the only thing that wakes him up are my elbows, they're sharp suckers!

Hang in there...

I can totally relate!!!!!! I've been going thru the SAME exact thing the last 3 weeks!!! There were even like 3 days where I hardly got out of bed. Granted I just got off bed rest on tuesday, but those 3 days of complete bed rest (due to feeling depressed) was something I hadn't even done from the 1st day they put me on bedrest due to pre-term labor. I thought there was something really wrong with me cause I had never really felt like this thru any of my other pregnancies. I'm just now starting to feel a tiny bit better. I have felt SO guilty about not being as involved as a mom during the last few weeks too. Thank goodness my husband has been wonderful and totally picked up my slack....everyone seems to think that I'll be fine once the baby is born. I've had a bunch of anxiety too the last few weeks....I'm not scared of the labor (I actually want to go into labor now that I'm 37 weeks) but everytime I think of it, I get real anxious. I don't have any solutions except to say that I know what you're going thru!!!!!!

I feel the EXACT same way. I don't know what's wrong with me because I'm only 36 weeks.

I'm getting this too, though I seem to have up days and down days. I just forced myself to go slog through an errand I needed to do-- sometimes that's enough to make me feel better, and sometimes it's not. In this case, not. I'm going to force myself through one more, and if I'm still feeling crummy, it's onto the couch until I have to go to the MW.

I keep trying to tell myself it's okay, that it's the end of pregnancy and I'm allowed-- but I'm getting tired of doing that too... Hang in there. These feelings won't last forever.

I'm right here with you all! I have been on this website WAY too much b/c I just don't feel like doing ANYTHING. Hopefully I will snap out of it very soon....I want to get some stuff done before baby comes!
