Q: 34 Wks, Emotionally Drained/sad

I am 34 weeks along now, and I feel so sad. I am anxious to see the baby and tired of being pregnant/ uncomfortable. My other 2 sons are getting excited about seeing the new addition, but my husband doesn't seem so interested. I tried expressing my anxiety to him and his response was, "Well you wanted to be pregnant again." I feel so hurt. Lately he doesn't want to talk to me about anything. If I ask him questions about his day his response is usually "I don't know." I feel lonely, paranoid, and just sad. It makes me not want to talk to him or try either. But I just find myself feeling angrier and more resentful. Am I just being over-emotional b/cuz of hormones? Will this get better after the baby is born, or will this just get worse?

This post is a little old but I noticed there were no replies. I hope you're feeling better now. Hang in there!

I just had a tiny little meltdown on my guy cuz he was too tired to make out with me at bedtime (LOL). We talked it out though and and I let him fall asleep so he won't be too tired for work in the morning. It's hard sometimes to see things from a dad's POV when you're bathing in pregnancy hormones and feeling that little baby inside you 24-7. Men just have a different perspective and a different set of worries, especially during pregnancy. There's another child on the way that you will add responibilities to both your lives. He doesn't have that baby moving inside him so the experience isn't as immediate for him. He probably does care maybe he's just tired or has other things on his mind. Guys can be such a pain when you don't know what they're thinking!! Anyway, let him know in a calm way how you're feeling. Let him know you are feeling vulnerable and uncomfortable and you need some kind words from him to help you through. Sometimes those things just don't occur naturally to a guy because they are used to keeping their feelings to themselves.

Good luck. Don't be sad you don't have far to go. And your baby is healthy!!!! And you are healthy!! Hope you feel better.
