It is normal to feel emotional at times in pregnancy and/or have feelings of anticipation in pregnancy as you are coming closer to a new beginning to your life with the arrival of your baby. It is also quite understandable to have some concerns about the baby, giving birth and how you will adapt to life with the new addition to your family.
It’s a good idea for all expectant parents to monitor their mental health and wellbeing and so if you are feeling sad, have lost interest or enjoyment in things that you once enjoyed or find yourself worrying over things to the point that it is causing you to feel distressed, this could be a sign of antenatal depression or anxiety . If you are concerned in any way, seek advice and help from your doctor or midwife.
