Possible depression?

Hi all, FTM here. How do you guys deal with teary eyes, anxiety and possible depression in the last trimester. A lot of things has been on my mind, worry about birth, paranoid about husband cheating, postpartum recovery and identity crisis. How do you deal with this? Who should I approach? I dont want to approach my family or friends regarding this.

I experienced this for all of my 3 pregnancies. For me i think we all will feel less like less pretty, less reliable, and that our husbands dont understand what we’re really feeling. So what i did and will do for my fourth pregnancy is that i will talk more with my husband, let him comfort me more and probably read more. Cz you have very little if that after baby comes. So jz try to enjoy every little bit of time while you can. Prepare yourself and husband to be more positive when baby is delivered. Cz trust me, all you need is teamwork with husband. Jz you two as support systems for each other.

Firstly Big hugs to you I can’t imagine what you’re going through but perhaps Good to look for a counsellor to help you go through these. I know it’s easy to just say don’t think so much and think positive but it’s very difficult to do but I hope you hang in there!!

There is an influx of emotions usually in the last trimester. I went through it and relied heavily on meditation, walks and Indian classical music to calm myself. Also, avoided things that triggered negative emotions.
