Feeling defeated - anyone else?
I've been feeling really defeated lately, I used to be so energetic, kept busy seeing friends, lots of exercise which was my main enjoyment and I've just not had the energy and even when I do have a spike in energy I just feel like staying home and eating rubbish (which I then feel guilty about) My husband's amazingly supportive but he's really busy and seeing him like that is making me envious, like I'm the one sacrificing everything. I keep reminding myself that my body is doing so much and not to put the pressure on but I can't help but feel like this pregnancy has changed me as a person, I hope I get my spark back! Anyone else experiencing this? All I keep seeing on social media is pregnant women embracing life and I just can't seem to do it at the moment. I'm only 18 weeks so hoping my spark will come back before the end?

Feeling the exact same way! I feel like just getting through the day is exhausting. My husband said that he doesn’t feel like I’m the same person at all but don’t feel any different? Just very exhausted all the time
I feel the same and also feel very stressed out and always on the edge. Everything gets to me , Im so irritated by people that I would rather stay home all the time 😩

You aren't alone 🫶🏼 I could have written your post. I'm really struggling mentally and I also have lost my spark and any interest in anything. Not feeling myself at all and probably feeling the lowest I ever have. Just do little bits of what you used to enjoy. Maybe a walk with friends or your husband. A walk always helps me, it's great for the mind and good exercise too! It's ok to just want to stay in (I'm the queen of that) but maybe do something at home... plan a nice date night (takeaway and film) or a fun alochol free cocktail night with friends. I'm 17 weeks.
