I've been feeling odd for the last couple of days, really emotional etc.. I know it's normal to be hormonally imbalanced during pregnancy, but this is driving me mad!
I cried when I had to chuck out one of my son's tacky plastic 1 € toys coz it was broken, I cried when my partner took my son out for the afternoon, and I feel like I miss my mum, like a little kid, it's pathetic.
I'm also pretty worried still, as I've had a high risk pregnancy after nearly miscarrying at 16 weeks, and the boredom of having to stary at home and rest isn't helping.
Can anyone suggest any ways to cheer myself up and get me back to "normal" behaviour? Is there any herbal tea or anything that I could drink to help with the hormones? I really need to pull myself together for my own sanity, my partner and my 5 year old son!
Thanks everyone!

Zorro - my partner, who I mention in the details, is the father we're just not married. He is busy working hard and helps all he can, but he can't understand how I'm feeling if even I don't understand it!
---------------------------------
Here's one I forgot too, I breed doves and I cried when one chick died coz it couldn't hatch, now this is really normal and happens weekly, so not something I'd usually cry at!!

I'm not sure what your limitations are but if you are able to go out, have a "me day" make the day all about you!! get a facial, hair, nails, massage(if doctor permits). If you are unable to do so, have your hubby find someone that will come to you.
Perhaps the girl stuff is not you. Think of something that is . . . what will make you feel good? What ever it is, just do it. Perhaps all you need is a short visit from family/friends. If you have a good friend ask her for help. Have her come over and make you lunch (while your hubby and 5 year old are out) and watch a sad movie. It always feels better to have a real reason to cry. It releases some of these out of wack emotions. (the movie thing worked for me!)

Do not feel bad about being down or missing your Mom.. Mine is two hours away and I call her almost every day. I have a 3-yr. old and I am 20 weeks. I am also high risk. I have had a horrible time emotionally throughout the whole pregnancy. I feel bad because we were not supposed to be able to get pregnant and I should be ecstatic and I cannot stop crying over the silliest things.
The massage idea is great, or just getting a haircut or pedicure to feel better.
There are some herbal teas you are not supposed to have like Chamomile, but I am sure there are soothing ones out there you can try if you like tea a lot. If you are on bed rest and cannot leave, that is probably a big part of the problem because you can get cabin fever.
I have not stopped having morning sickness yet and I am five months, so I have been home a lot and I get lonely at home too.
Just getting out in the sunshine sometimes will help too.
Congratulations on being close to meeting your new little one, things will all be okay.

My companion walked out while i grew to become into 25 weeks pregnant. He needs no longer something to do with our son and has no touch with him in any respect. I did the the remainder of the being pregnant with the great help of my mum, sister and a distinctive pal. I didnt tell all and sundry he had left as I felt so ashamed (single mum and all that crap). yet my little boy has purely had his first birthday and that i cant think of my life now with out him in it. i'm nonetheless single as i've got faith my first priority is him. I even have faith that some day i'm going to fulfill somebody else and have that happy kinfolk. Worse case venture, it doesnt take place and that i nonetheless have a eye-catching little boy. Its so no longer hassle-free so see previous the now and think of to the destiny, yet once you may dangle in there...properly i'm this variety of different guy or woman now that I certainly have my son. i think of he has made me a extra ideal guy or woman. And if I have been to get in a relationship and that guy or woman did no longer settle for my newborn I wouldnt be in that relationship for long. I propose i'm responsible for this little guy or woman, shaping him right into a loving, being concerned, sensible youthful guy. How might desire to I in all possibility handle that widespread place with some dweeb in my life that didnt like my son or have time for my son? My son is my priority - thats purely how that's and if i dont have yet another reln for 2, 5 or 10 years i will stay with that. I dont lose sleep over it. besides the fact that I certainly have my friends and kinfolk and if i didnt have those then i'm uncertain my venture may well be an identical and that i might sense as i do. good success.

Calm down and enjoy this time because once the baby comes you will be so busy with three. Chamomile tea or peppermint tea are good in calm yourself. It's pretty normal to be really emotionally right now but try to think about how good it's going to be your family. Right now you should try down stuff you aren't going to be able to do in a while such make a scrap book for both children, organize photo albums, make a journal for each child, read and listen to music.
Good Luck and Congrats

Have some friends over to visit, watch a favorite comedy. I like the massage idea! Have a night out w/your partner. This may be the last chance for awhile.

know how you feel - I am high risk too but only 19 weeks pregnant
I cried reading my son the Lion King book earlier - totally ridiculous,
best things you can do - pamper yourself, invite friends round for company, arrange a pregnancy massage

i,m sorry to hear your unhappy and board, but at 34 weeks its normal to feel like this, carrying that bump round all day, baby kicking and keeping you awake at night , heartburn, leg cramps. its normal dont worry, i dont know anything about herbal tea ask your midwife, but why dont you get a good book and start reading while your resting or try a relaxation tape. x

I heard you are not supposed to drink teas when pregnant.
Maybe a nice night out with your hubby might do the trick? Dinner or something? Do something special for yourself! :)
