I'm 33 weeks pregnant and have been really excited to be having a baby, but for the last few days I've been feeling really low and just feel like I want to cry all the time. I'm worried I'll be alone, even though my partner is there for me 100% and keep worrying I'll be a bad mum. I even cried watching Hollyoaks! I hate seeing other pregnant women or hearing about other women who've had babies as I feel really jealous (illogical I know) and although I feel my baby moving all the time I fear the worst when the birth happens.
Any advice or words of wisdom are most welcome

God luv ya, I'm in the same week lol. Going through the same thing. My only comfort half the time is knowing I did the exact same thing with my first one as well. You can break down and cry over the silliest things. I caught myself bawling hystericaly over a stupid Hallmark commercial with my first. A couple days ago I was crying over some really dumb thing on the freaking WWF!!! Now of all the dumb things to cry over....
I'm not sure there is anything that can really make it all go away, because you are battling some pretty major hormonal things. Maybe the comfort comes in knowing this phase doesn't last too long really. It will be over very soon!! Don't feel bad for being illogical. As long as your partner isn't out rearranging your furniture ( a crying offense as well lol), or changing things on you that you really didn't want changed, as long as he is there for you thats the best he can do. Fearing what comes during or after birth, its normal. Doesn't matter how many you've had, it's normal. Simply because you don't know what can happen. Just be sure you have faith in your doctor, don't be afraid to ask your doctor 10 billion questions to ease your fears.
Cry, yell, and remember it will all be gone soon!
Good luck!

I'm 33 wks also. Due on Oct 13th. I totally feel you on this one. I'm so scared of being a mom and taking care of someone for the next 18 yrs. I pray every single night. And sometimes even when I wake up. I live all by myself so I dont have a partner right there to help me out...during and after pregnancy. No one really understands how I feel cuz they all had someone there to help them. Just be glad that you have your partner's support (you did say he's there for you 100 %) and do some praying together. Good luck.

I get really jealous too after hearing a friend gave birth before me. Its natural but I am alot closer to my due date. At 33 weeks your baby is not ready yet, try to enjoy the little kicks cause once your baby is here you will miss them. If you keep feeling low make sure to tell your doctor. Don't worry about the birth, doctors are very conservative and they will monitor everything and make sure nothing happens to you or the baby. Congratulations on your pregnancy.

PRAY!!!! Everything will be okay. When I was pregnant I used to dream that something was wrong with my baby or that the doctors took my baby away after I gave birth. I think everyone goes through that at some point in their pregnancy. It's normal. It's just pre-birth jitters.

Brooke Shields mentioned this exact issue on Oprah, and was featured on Oprah's 50 anniversary DVD set. Your hormones are making you feel this way. You may have this feeling after you give birth as well. Ask your obstetrician if they know of someone you can see to help with postpartum depression if you continue to feel this way after you give birth. Anxiety sometimes occurs as well. Talk to your doctor about this.

Oh yea, your hormones kicked in and that's why you get all those thoughts. It's totally normal, don't worry. And if you feel it's just getting worse, go and talk to your doctor.
