Struggling
Recently I’ve been very low. 36 weeks pregnant and constantly crying, not wanting to socialise with anyone, just want to lay in bed. I’m still working and feel at work I’m okay due to being busy but as soon as I have time to relax all the emotions come flooding in.
I’m worrying that I will feel like this or worse when baby comes, what if I can’t look after her properly because I can’t even look after myself right now.
You need to speak to midwife/health visitor who may refer you for further mental health help, but it also means they will watch for PND. I did, but unfortunately due to moving I was missed for HV visits and the PND was terrible. Nobody noticed and by that point I was hiding away and didn’t want to speak to anyone.
