i am 6 weeks shy of due date and until about a week ago was living life as normal as when i wasnt pregnant (for the most part) but out of nowhere i have becomes this walking time bomb. i dont get angry, but i get so sad i just start crying and i dont know why and i cant stop......its like i am tired, swollen, and just overwhelmed with everything. we still dont have the nursery painted, nothing is organized, my shower is this weekend and its supposed to snow really bad, work is killing me........and my house is ALWAYS dirty!!! AGH! anyone else feeling this way???

I was there myself at about the same time. I am now a week and a half away from the big day, and although it has been replaced by a whole host of other things, the moodiness has pa__sed. Soon you will move from crying to being edgy and short tempered...then it will ease. soon, your physical discomfort will outweigh your emotional upheaval! LOL. Don't worry you will feel better! For now just let it all out and know that it won't last forever.

mgn - wow, it sounds like you just described me. I had a dog that died 3 years ago and dh said something about her and i just burst into tears! my house is never clean anymore, no matter what i do to it. it just seems so overwhelming and like everything is just piling up. i'm hoping when i go on maternity leave i can somehow catch up.

well its good to know u all have felt this way. i am a pretty calm and rational person so these mood swings worry me. i feel alone sometimes. very alone. it is not a good feeling. i dont have sisters, all my friends live far away, and my mother (god bless her) is not "all there" so i feel like she is a comfort but at the same time she is not totally competent so she doesnt understand. my hubby is wonderful MOST of the time but he is so busy it sometimes hurts me and I feel I am being put on the backburner. I know he loves me and cares deeply for me and baby but his life hasnt changed at all these last 8 months whereas mine has been completely derailed. i guess sometimes that makes me angry. not that i would change any of this but i wish he were a little more sensitive to my needs. but i think it is so hard for anyone who has not gone through this to understand. i mean, pregnancy is such a blessing and so wonderful but there are times when I feel it is never going to end and I will always feel swollen, fat and sad. I dont even remember what it is like to not have a bellly! :) I guess the pending labor has me anxious as well. I pray everything goes ok. I am a worry wart by nature and a total organizer and feel the need to have PLANNED for everything and with pregnancy I am learning you have no control. from start to finish it is not in my hands. well, thanks for listening. its so nice to have this place where I can go and share my feelings.
God Bless all of you and your babies.
