34 weeks feeling stressed HELP

This is my second pregnancy and I'm finding it very difficult with a toddler of two years old,
I was looking for women feeling the same or have experienced post natal before,
My first pregnancy I was fabulous up until baby was born and his daddy when to Afghanistan, was diagnosed with PND. Felt totally find when the husband returned safe and sound, this pregnancy I've been very emotional and feeling very stressed but to the point where I cry over the littlest thing, I know emotions run a lot higher when pregnancy as I'm a trained medic, but now 34 weeks pregnant and it's becoming more and more each day where I feel like I'm not coping very well, I've got cold saws from being so run down and stressed and I'm not sleeping due to baby moving a lot, I don't want to call the midwife and bug her with my problems and don't like to bug my husband with the sort of stuff,
I was just wondering if other people have gone through this or what do you think would be the best thing to do??

Thanks in advance

I personally think it is normal to feel overwhelmed especially with a toddler at home to care for. In addition, you have a lot going on it seems. You are also in your final stages of pregnancy which adds not only stress but it adds more and different hormones. If you do feel like it is becoming out of control I would seek professional help. I would find a good friend and try to have a lunch date to change it up and get out of the house. Also, you can always vent in here with other emotional woman.  I am always able to listen if you need someone.

I try to take warm baths to relax my body. I can't really afford a spa day & get a massage so sometimes I put on spa relaxing music and try to relax my mind as well. Try to take me time every day maybe after ur 2 yr old goes to bed.
