Pregnancy Depression

I’m currently at week 32 of my pregnancy and it has never been smooth sailing from day 1. I’m a petite person and my bump has never really shown up till today, so people never really bothered about me being pregnant neither do I get special treatment from anyone. I’ve been alone throughout my pregnancy because I have a husband who doesn’t care. Every food that I crave, I had to get it myself. I’d drive miles from one end of SG to the other just to get it. My husband never once cared about the child I’m carrying. Never once asked if the baby things is enough or if there’s anything that needs to be bought. All he cares about is me racking up the hospital bills. I got scolded for choosing TMC because he said he couldn’t afford it. I asked many times if he wanted to change hospital but all he does is curse and swear at me. I’ve mentally prepared myself to not take epidural or anything that would help lessen my pain because my husband can’t afford it. Since day 1 of my pregnancy, I’ve never felt happy. All I’ve wanted to do is end my life, and bring my baby with me. I’ve never gotten quality sleep because he snores at night. And the only time I’ve got a quality sleep was before we got married which was a year ago. I’m in last few weeks and I’m annoyed at my baby kicking me throughout the night. I’m annoyed that I couldn’t sleep. I’m annoyed that I still have to get up in the morning to go to work and hate my job because I’m heavily pregnant but I don’t look like it so no one cares. I’m just honestly, tired. And maybe, I don’t get the support from anyone. At all. I don’t know what I need or what will help me but at this rate, I think I’m falling in post partum depression too for sure right? #firstbaby #pleasehelp #bantusharing #pregnancy

I don’t know how to suggest, just speaking my mind, firstly you really need to talk to your doctor and get help for depression. You can alternatively change to KKH if you wish to but don’t need to discuss with hubby if so stressful. Then need to find a friend, guy or girl friend both great, go food hunt and be happy. Baby kicks you because he or she is trying to tell you he/she loves you and is here for you. The sleep deprivation will get worse when baby is born, you need a happy place to do confinement which I believe it’s not your home. And during confinement, because you have no help or support, you might have to wash all the stuff yourself, please don’t or wear gloves if you have to, cos touching cold water will get rheumatism aches and make our lives worse. Baby is your closest family member, he/she needs you and you need he/she, you and baby are one, your heartbeat as one. Please take care of yourself and baby. You are way stronger than you think you are. Help is good, but if no help available, find shortcuts, find a friend. You are strong and you can overcome, you won’t need anyone, baby is always on your side. If you hate your job, start looking for other jobs, easier part-time jobs etc,
