Moms in their 30’s

Prisoner & Trapped

I’m 34 & at 39 weeks with my 2nd. My 1st pregnancy was such a breeze and my first is now 5 years of age. I was a working single Mom at the time. Now I’m pregnant with my 2nd at 34 and this pregnancy made me feel like a prisoner! I almost never left my son’s room that I slept in the entire pregnancy. I admitted to my partner I was depressed and stressed and how this pregnancy I am extremely unhappy.

I stopped working but plan on going back to work a week after I give birth to survive PPD. Partner does not know how to help and I blame and resent him for it. We don’t communicate or talk. Just living like strangers/roommates. To the point I don’t want him in the delivery room with me. He’s argued and bickered with me majority of the pregnancy. He’s not financially supportive. I just ignore him and act like I don’t hear him when he tried to make small talk. I’ve fallen severely into depression this pregnancy. I just don’t know what to do or say..
