so im 36 weeks into my first pregnancy, and i’m on mat leave already which has somewhat helped with my stress levels, but i’m just finding everyday i feel so negative. My partner is working 60+ hour weeks at the moment picking up loads of overtime and is out for 12-14 hour shifts at least 6 days a week and i just feel so lost and alone. he is fantastic when he is home, and works through my feelings with me so i feel so guilty for feeling hateful, but i cant help just feeling negative. i cant be bothered to cook and clean, i just sit and cry all of the time while he’s away and just want to nap constantly. i haven’t really let him know how bad it is because i know he’s already stressed out with work and money etc and taking on the brunt of responsibility. i hate being pregnant, i hate feeling this way and i just feel like a fat waste of space.
