Emotionally drained

Can you maybe take anything to help your mood? Something may help to just put you on a steady path so not so up and down? Xx

@Katherine is there anything you can recommend or are you meaning from the mental health team?xx

No sorry just from the mental health team but they helped me at the beginning when I was struggling every so often xx

@Katherine ah that’s good to know, my midwife has referred me to the mental health team now so hoping they help a bit xx

Yeah in the meantime I would just say keep speaking to friends family people on here and try and get out for a walk once a day at least I know if I force myself I always feel better for it xx

Not sure if it’s helpful or not but I was an emotional wreck during my first pregnancy. Had a lot going on alongside the pregnancy but also just raging hormones. I cried most days. Honestly I was a different person once my daughter arrived, I had a couple of days of the baby blues which is super normal but then I was back to feeling better than I was pre pregnancy. I suffered post partum depression after my second pregnancy but I wasn’t emotional at all during that pregnancy, I’d felt so much better second time around. I know it’s easier said than done but try not to worry about how you’ll be once babies here, it’ll just add to your emotions and worries. Focus on each day right now and what you can do to feel good for you for now. I’m sure you are going to be an incredible Mum and I hope the mental health team have some good suggestions for you 🤍

@Gemma Thankyou so much. That is actually really helpful for me and has made me feel more hopeful for once baby is here! Really appreciate it
