Feeling depressed at week 29

Hi fellow mummies, I’m FTM in my 29th week and in the past 2 weeks, I’ve been feeling down, many times I’ll just cry and feel sad and lonely in this journey even though my husband is physically with me. This negativity gets worse at night and I can’t seem to bring myself to do things and I keep feeling there’s nothing to smile about. Being tested positive for covid last week and having to quarantine at home made things worse. Is this normal and any tips on how to get over these hormonal mood swings? Is this a side effect of GD?Thanks.

Hello FTM here too! I started having depression in my week 8-10 and I talk to a girlfriend who happened to be a counseler. She helped me a lot, I cried in front of her for the whole of 1st session and subsequent sessions I was much better in terms of my mood and emotion. I think it is important to talk to someone who is able to help u. My hubby was physically with me but I do still feel lonely too as he don't understand what I'm going through as a first time mum. I read that 70% of FTM experience some kind of blue during pre-natal so it is normal. Just talk to people or friends who are able to help you. If not can join mummies support group, I feel mummies are more able to understand what you are going through. Hope you feel better soon! Hang in there and think of your lovely baby 🙂
