I'm only at 35weeks 5days and I'm already at the point of "Get it out of me!" this is our second so I would have never expected to find myself looking forward to all those sleepless nights. I had got depression after my first prenancy but I was fine leading up to the birth and with this pregnancy I seem to be feeling really down and teary most days already. Can anybody relate to these feelings? I feel very lonely as none of my friends are having babies so therefore they don't understand it's even difficult trying to explain my tears to partner. I almost feel I'm going nuts waiting for the bith of the baby.

Hi HelenElla and welcome to Ohbaby!
I am 36 weeks today (with our first) and have been feeling teary all last week. No reason just feel like crying..... I could be just sitting there....then start feeling like I am scared (of what???) and then start crying!!! Dont have the "get it out of me" feeling yet....but I really had a good pregnancy...starting to get backaches and sleepless nights but not to worried abt it yet. I am sure it is all part of being pregnant....no matter how many children you have. And now you have us to moan to ....so take it all out...we are all ears!! (well you know what I mean) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I'm twenty one weeks and are ready starting to feel like I want to get it all over and done with. I had a really tough first couple of months and I just want to get that first period over and done - can't be bothered with the whole pregnancy thing. Last time I really enjoyed it and was in no hurry for it to end , even the day I went into labour . Hopfully this phase will pass, as I've got a lot of waiting to do yet.------------- Mother to two beautiful children - Sophie age 6 and Ephraim age 4 |

yep you are definately normal. I think i found the first time round i was learning so much and just so excited and it all sped by nice and quickly and everything was great, afterwards i hit a brick wall basically and got depressed like you. This time, it just seemed alot harder, you don't wonder over every little kick.. basically cos you don't have time. with another child to think about you'll probably find that you are at the point of exhaustion most days anyway simply because you can't just nap whenever you want which means that it's no wonder that all you feel like doing is curling up in a corner and crying. Hang in there and try and get some support from somewhere, even though your friends may not be able to fully understand sometimes they can be a welcome distraction for a little while, maybe have a coffee with you etc, Hang in there, it will get better. and yep, it's weird to look forward to all the sleepless nights, but then, it's probably cos you know that after all the sleepless nights things will finally start to vaguely resemble normal again... it's like that little light at the end of a very long tunnel. Good luck and i hope you are feeling better soon. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Thanx for all the replys hearing everyone elses storys and hearing people relate make it so much easier. It doesn't seem so lonely when there are other people feeling the same way. I'm feeling heaps happier today and am trying to take one day at a time. Making the most of the time I get to spend with my 2 year old before the new arrival. Thanx so much for all the support I wish I had found this site sooner.

Hi, I am 37 weeks and 5 days (conting down!) and I so know how you feel. Have just in the last few days got really emotional about everything. Was reading through the last few weeks in the Bounty book (not for the first time) and bawled when it got to baby actually being here ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |
