I am pregnant for first time and it seems for me i am overwhelmed with this journey . I feel stressed that i am the only one planning (setting up nursery, buying things, planning on my maternity leaves, etc)for the coming of the baby, i feel my husband/ family is not really very interested or caring towards the birth of the baby, which infact makes me depressed and down at all times. I feel like i am left alone in this. My husband is also new to this and does not understand at all times my feelings. Is it a common feeling for first time moms? How can i overcome it?

It would be good to have a chat with him to tell him about what you are going through. Give him some resources to go through. Fathers also experience changes in hormones but not to the extent that mothers go through. You might have to teach him how you want him to help you, for instance giving you a massage or a back rub. Some first time parents do go through this. If it is persistent you might want to speak to a medical practitioner for advice. The doctor can also speak to your husband about how to give support to you.
