Mamma of 3 girls 👧
Hi everyone, So I haven't been on here since I last had my youngest little girl who will be turning 1 in a few weeks so I'm kind of out of practice on here!
So me and my husband have been debating of whether to have another baby or not and this may come across as really selfish but we would both like a boy if we were to have another but it doesn't work like that and I am so grateful for my 3 girls but my husband has said if we don't at least try than we may regret it in years to come!
I came round to the idea but then my mood swings are so bad when I'm pregnant and I'm currently having bad mood swings now, being snappy with him etc and I am currently 4 days late on my period and I've taken 2 tests they're both negative so no idea what's happening but if I found out i was pregnant I would definitely be keeping it I just don't know how I'd cope with my mental health as its not been the best during pregnancy!
Any advice would be welcome 😊 TIA

@Jo no I haven't really, which I should have done I know but just put it down to my hormones! I'd definitely look into that though as I don't want to be this moody person especially when I have 3 girls too! Thank you! Yeah it is hard at times but I'm sure we will make the right decision for all of us.
@Rachel Hormones are horrible. They haven't been so bad for me this pregnancy, but the previous two times I was forever muttering about 'stupid hormones'. They really can be so horrible. I hope you find a way through and have no doubt you'll make the right call for you all.

Have you reached out for support with your mental health in previous pregnancies? We have a local group that supports mums and mums to be, but I'm Gloucestershire, so I'm not sure what you'd have in your area. Also, the perinatal mental health team? It might be that there are people out there who can offer support. It's a hard call. I know I do ok during pregnancy, but struggle after. Trying to work out the best way forward once my daughter is born in January.
