Mental health

Has anyone been struggling this last trimester? My entire pregnancy I have felt mentally fine… that is until now. The way Ive started viewing myself is awful. Like I previously enjoyed seeing my bump grow but now I’m just disgusted by myself. I feel like whale, I’ve started to swell a little, I’ve started to get red patchy blotches on my face. I just feel disgusting. I know my husband would never ever cheat on me but since I started feeling this way it’s a thought I can’t get out of my head because if I feel this way about myself I don’t see how he couldn’t view me the same. He gives me reassurance all the time if I talk to him about it, which is like every single day😅 I’m just struggling. Has anyone else went through this in previous pregnancies or going through it now? Does it get better after the baby comes and hormones go back to normal? I feel like I’m going crazy and I’m scared this feeling is going to continue after I give birth. I feel like a bad mom wanting baby out of me right now when I know she isn’t fully ready… I’m just over being pregnant and not even recognizing myself anymore.

Ive honestly been feeling the same way. My whole pregnancy I was fine but its like soon as i hit my third trimester im immediately depressed and going through so many thoughts and emotions. The difference for me is im doing this without the father so it adds another level of stress and anxiety. Even though i have a great support system i dont like to feel like im complaining all the time. Everyday im just constantly counting down until my baby is here

@Tamisia I’m so sorry, that has to be really tough, I couldn’t imagine doing it all alone but the strength you must have for pushing through it is amazing! As much as I wish you weren’t feeling this way also it’s nice to hear someone else is dealing with the same thing. Hopefully after our babies get here we start feeling better! I’m thinking it may just be hormones, fingers crossed.

Yess ive been told over and over its just our hormones changing especially because its almost time. Im just ready to hold my baby 😩

Im in a bad mood very grumpy and stressed.
