Pregnant - Feels like life is on hold...

[selma]

I couldn't be happier with my family, I have a wonderful and supportive husband and a darling daughter who is soooooo easy going.

BUT...

I am 5 months pregnant with my second child. With this pregnancy I feel like I am not doing something I should be doing and I am not sure what this is. Its such a strange feeling.... I have had these, "I know something needs to be done that isn't" feelings here and there, but they are sooo strong now. The problem is I don't know what I should be doing.

I am always worried... worried I am getting really fat, worried I am not putting the effort into my business I should, worried, worried, worried....

How do I find out what needs to be my focus now, how do I pinpoint that when I just feel like a ball of chaos??

Thanks... this is the first thread I started so I hope this is posted in the correct area.

Well, I am a man whose wife is expecting a child sometime between next week and the eleventh of November. I am experiencing some of the same feelings you describe. I laughingly call it Pre-Partum depression. The phrase fits my life very well at the moment.

The child was planned and is a welcomed addition to our family. He has a four and a half year old older brother who is eager for him to "come out of mommy's belly." Life is changing and will in all probability change more after the baby arrives. Isn't life wonderful!

P.S. Mommy is ready for the baby to come out into the world even more than big brother and daddy!

Congratulations Gene... Yeah, I think it might just be the "pregnancy blues" I mean your body is unrecognizable, your tired, cranky, ahhhhh... maybe I should just wait to give birth, then start again...

It may just be a time for me to just relax... Im not really good at that... I like to get things going, move move move type of person, lol....

Well, get your sleep now, baby comes, the end to that, atleast for a while!!!
