Is it normal to feel depressed or overwhelmed when nearing to your Edd?

Hi mummies, lately I have been feeling very restless. Like I just want to laze all day. I’m currently at my 29 weeks and I feel super lazy to go to work. The thoughts of going to work scares me. As I’m working an environment in f&b industry, i am constantly walking and it tired me out. But also, if I skipped work, I feel super emotional that I’m not doing my best for my little one, and the feeling gets overwhelmed. Can I stop having this feeling? Even my hubby can’t console me well. :(

Hi! It’s Normal to feel overwhelmed during this time I assumed. I’m having my first baby and I’m on my 38th week. I feel that you should put you and yourself first and take a break. I have this habit of worrying about work and it’s really not healthy in terms of your mental health. Don’t ever think you’re not doing your best. Take care of yourself so you can take care of your baby :)
