3rd trimester emotions

Hi there strong momma! It is absolutely normal for you to feel like you’re unable to control your emotions. And there are scientific articles and research that show PPD still can creep in even if you have passed months after your first birth and some PP psychological symptoms might even start before you go head into the last few weeks of your pregnancy. There could be other issues that is leading up to your emotional feelings, such as hormones, lack of sleep or proper nutrition which all of this might cause a sudden dip in endorphins and serotonin. I would recommend that you try to explore the option that you might have some trauma during your first birth that might be triggering your insecurities for the arrival of your second. And if you really don’t have any, you might want to try methods that will help you relax your mind such as hypnobirthing tracks or explore prenatal yoga. I hope this helps. Hang in there, you’re stronger than you know it ❤️

Hi, I am only at 1st trim and have no experience like you, personally. However, I am a mental health social worker before, and I used to support some mothers with their mental wellbeing throughout pregnancy and post-partum. It is possible to have depressive symptoms at any stage of pregnancy and post pregnancy because of hormonal and life changes. Being a mother is not easy to begin with. So you are normal. Please don’t feel you are not right. But do consider either talking to your husband about how you’re feeling, or a trusted friend or family, or even consider approaching professional help. If you are with the govt hosps, they all have counsellors that you can speak to. Or even try approaching your nearest family service centre if you find your emotions hard to manage or if it’s affecting you so much that it affects your lifestyle. Hope things goes well for you!! ❤️❤️❤️ take care, babe!!

Yup pretty normal. Before pregnant I was also depressed alr (not clinically diagnosed though) so it was worse for me during pregnancy. I just sleep every weekend during afternoon without caring about my toddler. I don’t even talk to my second baby. 33 weeks now
