DH let me have a good cry fest and tell him all about my troubles. He was really supportive and made me feel better.</p> <p>I'm not sure how tonight will go about sleep. I just want my puppy to feel better. He seems to be getting worse.<br /> I'm actually in a really good mood now...so you can chalk that up to mood swings. Lol<br /> Thanks for your kind words! I just felt like I was going to break. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-im-having-a-pregnancy-breakdown#post-1088684 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 20:04:47 +0000 turkeylurkey 1088684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I understand and it's important to know you aren't alone in your feelings! Try going for a walk or soaking in the bathtub. Anything to give yourself a breather. Also it's okay if the laundry or dishes don't get done right away! We used paper plates etc when I was really down so that there wasn't much clean up. And as far as when baby arrives you will figure out what works for you as a couple. My DH and I both work. So it's only fair that we both help with chores. No matter who brings in the most money. You have to tackle the baby thing together. Just be open with him about why you are snapping at him. Reassure him that it is the hormones ad you appreciate his help. Hope you get some sleep tonight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-im-having-a-pregnancy-breakdown#post-1088668 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 19:55:16 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1088668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's a lot to take on when you're expecting - hormones make even the smallest things seem so daunting. Just keep the communication open with your husband - you'll be depending on him a lot now and once the baby is born. Tell him what you told us and that will help alleviate any friction between you two. I hope your dog gets better soon so you can get some rest. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-im-having-a-pregnancy-breakdown#post-1088457 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 17:38:56 +0000 tillma 1088457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it makes you feel better I cried practically all night long a few weeks ago because I am pregnant, uncomfortable, couldn't sleep and had just generally had it. In other words I lost it over a heck of a lot less than what you are going through. And I am NOT generally a baby about things. Your hormones are all over the place when pregnant. Cut yourself a break and be ok if you don't always handle things perfectly :happy: you are dealing with a lot right now and managing to manufacture a human being in the process! Lots of hugs and I hope things get better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-im-having-a-pregnancy-breakdown#post-1088424 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 17:04:05 +0000 LovelyPlum 1088424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs!! Hang in there lady. I hope your pup feels better, and that you get some rest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-im-having-a-pregnancy-breakdown#post-1088383 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 16:21:29 +0000 singingbee 1088383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hang in there! Take a deep breath!!! I've had to just let some things go,which is very hard for me to do. I hope it gets better!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-im-having-a-pregnancy-breakdown#post-1088381 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 16:18:56 +0000 artsyfartsy 1088381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The last two days I feel like my mood swings have been out of control. Im unable to keep my laundry done or house clean or dishes done...I feel like a lousy wife. DH has to do everything, otherwise it doesn't get done...and hes also the main breadwinner.<br /> We painted the nursery today and it has lots of mistakes and touch ups needed and its driving me crazy!! We just took out half our savings to buy a crib and dresser. My dad is gifting us the money back for our baby shower but its still stressful.<br /> On top of that, my dog has contracted kennel cough...which means I was up all night last night trying to make him feel better. He wont stop coughing no matter what I do. The vet isn't open until tomorrow so I have to make it through yet ANOTHER night of no sleep! Then take a half day at work so I can take him when money is already tight. (Work stress is a whole different story).</p> <p>And all of this is breaking me down! And I wonder how am I supposed to handle all this WITH a baby!?! I'm so overwhelmed. I'm snapping at DH and its not fair to him because so much is already on his plate. I just feel lousy, sad, and worried. I guess I just need some support. Thanks for listening (reading). </p>
