Im feeling depressed

It doesn’t happen often to me but i feel depressed once in a while, my husband “tries “ to help me but i don’t know, he just told me when im acting like this it makes him feel very unattractive to me. I just wanna think is because of the pregnancy but i feel bad because sometimes i feel im not a good wife, and im not gonna be a good mom I feel im doing everything wrong, and that im getting so lazy at the house and that i don’t do enough…

He said that? That’s awful and not supportive of him at all. I’m sure you’re doing your best and that you’re an incredible mum, especially if you have that concern that you’re not. Tell your husband to eat 💩 and that he’s extremely unattractive for being so unsupportive.

Him being an inconsiderate prat is a very unattractive 😇 honestly, these men would be crying and wetting themselves daily if they had to go through pregnancy and the postpartum period

@Rhiann he tried to explain me that feeling sad like this is not helping me at all, that I have to put my effort and I was getting it until he said that, I felt terrible bad, if his intention was to make me feel more miserable about myself, he got it

Oh boy they shit I would’ve given him… stay strong 💞 absolutely not to excuse him but maybe at the time you had that chat he was at a low as well? Idk men say stupid stuff all the time? Empathy is really not their strong suit 🤦🏼‍♀️

When I’m being moody he kicks me out of the house telling me to go get my nails done, go get a massage go see a friend or go drop by my sisters’. Vice versa when he’s being moody I tell him to call his boys and see if they wanna go golfing or fishing. We both see friends and do our hobbies and we both come back feeling 1000% better and we’re not taking our moods out on each other. It makes me a better wife and mum when my other needs are being met.

If it makes you feel less alone, I’m struggling with a lot of the same feelings. I am constantly tired but also have little to no motivation when I’ve always been a hyper motivated over achiever. It makes me feeel so guilty about how I’m showing up for my husband and scared about how I’ll be as a mother. Unfortunately this is a side effect of pregnancy for some women. My hubby has been really supportive of me. He said the parenting books he’s been reading explained all of this, so maybe you can have your husband read one of those? My midwife’s clinic also offers a whole host of resources for moms struggling with anxiety and depression. Maybe you could look into that as well? Stay strong! I’ve heard this moment doesn’t last. It could be over as soon as our second trimester!
