Scary Pregnancy thoughts

@Tara my daughter is turning 2 on my due date June 23rd. I’m so uncomfortable and so tired
I was so horribly uncomfortable my first pregnancy at the end that I really wanted baby out…and I actually actively had preeclampsia that my providers hadn’t caught. I don’t want to make you nervous but weirdly could be your body signaling that something is wrong? Are you having any symptoms that you don’t have with your first pregnancy? Or your thoughts that are abnormal for you could be signaling a hormonal imbalance or potential for post partum mental health issues? I would bring it up to your healthcare provider.
They sound like intrusive thoughts I also never had them in my first pregnancy but in my second they got me good but you need to speak to someone because after baby is born they can get worse. I made the mistake of not saying anything for a while because I thought they’d think I was crazy etc but they are common in pregnancy/post partum it just doesn’t get spoken about as much as it should.
@Sam Thank you for your open honesty
@Christine I haven’t even thought of the potential that my body was trying to tell me something. I have thought that I wonder how the post partum will be
How long ago did you have your last baby? Hormones (and lack of sleep) can do some crazy things to us. Seems like you’re mainly just really sick of being pregnant which is understandable. This is my second pregnancy and I’m wayy more uncomfortable than I remember being the first time. I don’t necessarily have thoughts like that but I certainly have fears of entering into that newborn stage again bc last time was so hard on me mentally
