Worried about my girlfriend who is 6 months pregnant,?
Hi everyone, it would be great if i could get some advice off any one who is currently or has gone true the following, basically me and my girlfriend are expecting our wonder full baby in 3 months (this was an unplanned pregnancy), and i love my girlfriend and we have being great together for the last 2 years, but recently over the last 5 weeks she has being very down and not herself and she seems to be acting as if she dosent care about me anymore, i have being helping out as much as possible cleaning the house helping out trying to get her to take it easy because i no its not easy for her or any girl who is pregnant, but she wants me to stop helping she wants to do everything herself i have gone to all doctor appointments and scans with her so i think that i am showing i am with her everystep of the way, she is also stopping me feeling the baby kick and that is really affecting me because thats the only bit of a connection that i can make with the baby, but she never stopped me up to recently, i tried talking to her saying that i feel we are drifting appart but she dosent seem to relize this whan i talk about it with her, i am hoping that it is just horemones and that it will soon pass but i am also worried incase it is prenatal depression because she was diagnosed with depression when she was younger, im in a very hard situation here i would be very greatfull if i could get any advice before things get worse,
Thanks Darren

Sounds like it could be hormones. I am 36 weeks pregnant at the moment and I get pretty down on myself sometimes. I also don’t like it when my husband tries to help me out a lot, it makes me feel more useless than I already am. Just try really hard to hang in there and maybe things will get better. Keep trying to do things her way. I wish you the best of luck!
you know it may be her hormones but then again it may be depression again is she home alone during the day? this may make her feel depressed being alone all day. has there been any major crisis that has happened recently if so this may be affecting her but i would take her to a therapist or someone she can talk to. if she refuses to go it may really show she is depressed.
I would blame the hormones. Since you have been to all the appts, could you call her doctor? Let them know your concerns about depression and maybe the doctor can address it. That way it’s not coming from you (if she is just being hormonal, she’ll just call you mean). There is something about a medical figure that makes you want to tell the truth, especially if she thinks it could hurt the baby. Sorry you are having trouble. If it makes you feel better, I wish my husband would do the things you are doing!
I think you’re to be commended for being a caring boyfriend, and also for being astute enough to realize that this is not her normal behaviour. You’re completely right — it’s hormonal, and she is not in control of this change of behaviour. I got the exact same thing around the same time, which would send me ‘over the edge’ to the extent that I would break down in tears for no reason. I was aware that I was doing it, but there was no way to stop it!
I would ask her how you can be more involved with the baby in a way that she would be comfortable. Maybe she can pick one time each day when your baby is kicking when you can both sit down and you can feel the kicking. That way, she feels empowered by the process. I suggest this because a few months before the birth, you start to feel like things are running out of control, so if you can give her small bits of control back, that might help a lot. It’s a scary process that’s going on inside her …. pretty surreal actually!
Many congratulations on your upcoming fatherhood!
My advice to you is to keep a positive attitude. Don’t tell her anything that will stress her out and make sure you always tell her how much you love her and that she is beautiful. Her hormones are crazy right now and she just needs someone to lean on.
it could be hormones and it could be depression there really isnt anything that can be done about it she probably just wants the baby out and to be left alone for now
I would surprise her with a romantic night filled with things she likes to do. And i would have a heart to heart with her. Tell her you love her and want to be there every step of the way. Maybe she will realize she’s acting a little crazy and come around. Good luck.
Sounds so much like my situation I thought you were my man for a second lol but seriously its just the hormones don’t worry too much in 3 months it’ll all be over hang in there, you sound like a great guy!
