Hormones are out of control.

I am 35 weeks pg tomorrow and am having all sorts of problems in this last bit of pregnancy. + baby is measuring at term now with 5 weeks still to go. Thing is my hormones and emotions are all over the place. I'm up 1 minute, down the next, crying at the drop of a hat (literally). My 2 year old daughter bless her doesn't know what to do with herself.
I'm having all sorts of weird and not so wonderful pains which miraculously disappear when I lay down. Can spend the next 5 weeks on my back....

Anyone else with me here?

Hi, my baby is 15 months now but I remember it well, I sailed through my first pregnancy but with my last I was so fed up. Is your partner making sure he gives you some time out and looking after your little girl when he can? Sometimes we just need a break (even when we are not pregnant lol!!). The only thing I can suggest is to rest as much as you can (easier said than done with a toddler I know!) and try to pamper yourself a bit, nice bath, choccy, little treats to make yourself feel good. If you are feeling persistently low then might be worth having a chat with your midwife and gp as depression is quite common in pregnancy - I've suffered depression for quite a few years and luckily it didn't get any worse in pregnancy but its something to look out for.
Hope that you are feeling better soon!!! :-)))xx
