I have two kids and one on the way, and I'm also a stay at home mom. I'm also due in about three weeks and have been depressed, lonely, and sad too. Part of it is the hormones, but the other part is missing my dh because he has been working crazy hours the past few weeks. My hormones this pregnancy are out of control. I have been crying about the silliest things lately. I told my hubby to ignore my irritability because it's just my hormones talking. He laughed. I would just open up to your hubby and then ask him how he's feeling about the baby. I know it's stressful trying to handle every thing yourself. Men like to feel needed and like to fix problems, so open up to your boyfriend and give him a baby task to help you out. I had my hubby put together the bassinet with me the other night. :)

I am so sorry that you are feeling alone. I know that you said that you don't want to talk to him because he doesn't understand, but will just getting it out and being open help at all? I do know that Focus on the Family has free licensed counselors that you can call at 1800-A-Family. I know they would love to talk and help in anyway they can. I have spoken with one and they are great.
Live, Laugh, and Cantor on


Normal to feel that way under the circumstances. Talk to someone about it and you might feel better.
If he isn't sure how to act, you can always express your needs to him blatantly. My SO gave me a lot of "I'm sorry" too, and it wasn't our first even. They just don't know everything... you got to help them help you sometimes.
