Pregnancy Depression

I’m currently at week 32 of my pregnancy and it has never been smooth sailing from day 1. I’m a petite person and my bump has never really shown up till today, so people never really bothered about me being pregnant neither do I get special treatment from anyone. I’ve been alone throughout my pregnancy because I have a husband who doesn’t care. Every food that I crave, I had to get it myself. I’d drive miles from one end of SG to the other just to get it. My husband never once cared about the child I’m carrying. Never once asked if the baby things is enough or if there’s anything that needs to be bought. All he cares about is me racking up the hospital bills. I got scolded for choosing TMC because he said he couldn’t afford it. I asked many times if he wanted to change hospital but all he does is curse and swear at me. I’ve mentally prepared myself to not take epidural or anything that would help lessen my pain because my husband can’t afford it. Since day 1 of my pregnancy, I’ve never felt happy. All I’ve wanted to do is end my life, and bring my baby with me. I’ve never gotten quality sleep because he snores at night. And the only time I’ve got a quality sleep was before we got married which was a year ago. I’m in last few weeks and I’m annoyed at my baby kicking me throughout the night. I’m annoyed that I couldn’t sleep. I’m annoyed that I still have to get up in the morning to go to work and hate my job because I’m heavily pregnant but I don’t look like it so no one cares. I’m just honestly, tired. And maybe, I don’t get the support from anyone. At all. I don’t know what I need or what will help me but at this rate, I think I’m falling in post partum depression too for sure right? #firstbaby #pleasehelp #bantusharing #pregnancy

Heyyyyyyy.. just to let you know that you are heard. Sending your virtual HUGS. I’m here if you need a friend to hunt for food. I’m here if you need someone to rant. You hv to be strong.. the problem is not you or your innocent baby. The problem is with your hubby.

It’s good that you are here to talk it out. You need to treat yourself better and get 1 or 2 fren to talk to, someone who is willing to listen and not add fuel to the fire. If you wish, get professional help on this. It will be better. Jia you and virtual hugs!

Hi , don’t be too hard on urself. If u are unhappy talk to ur hub on how u feel and let him understand it is not easy. Alternatively can switch to nuh/ kkh. They too are equip with good Gynae too. If not u can try to request from your Gynae for hl.

at the end, it will all be worth it. i believe ur superiors will alr know that u are pregnant. u are stronger than this, and seriously money can always earn back, and the govt have subsidisies to help as well. stay strong!

hello dear. virtual hugs fr u♡ ure a strong mommy my dear. i suggest, best if u change hospital like NUH or KKH and ask fr opinions fr gynae? perhaps they can start on HL fr u before u go fr ur maternity?
