37 Weeks Pregnant Rant

Hello ladies!
I am 37 weeks pregnant with fraternal boy/girl twins. My pregnancy has not been the easiest but it hasn't been the worst. In the beginning of my pregnancy I didn't feel support from my family because they had other expectations of me. My family has came along way and is now very excited for the arrival of my twins.  I was also very sad and scared. Although my decision to keep my children was never a question I pictured my pregnancy to be more enjoyable. I thought pregnancy was going to be like the commercials and magazines where the pregnant woman is smiling and laughing and she's happy. My very supportive husband has always been there for me. But as of lately he's been distant. I need him most now. Now that I am reaching the end I feel so abandoned. We are just not on the same page anymore and it makes me feel neglected. I just want to get this pregnancy over with and get back to my less hormonal self again. Is that wrong? Should I feel guilty for feeling this way? Because I do. I feel so blessed god has given me the opportunity to bear children however my environment has made my pregnancy less enjoyable.

I think it must be normal I am 38 weeks and I feel like my husband wants nothing to do with me anymore. The other day I hid in my room and cried all day and he kept coming to ask what was wrong but I never told him because even at the time I knew it was probably just my hormones.  But soon your babies will be here and your hormones will start to level out and life will be good :)

Everyone has a different pregnancy experience, so dont compare to others..  Especially those on tv or in the media. Given that your due date is nearing,  maybe your husband is coping with the stress and anxiety by withdrawing..? He probably just feels a huge responsibility and is mentally preparing himself (though you'd likely benefit from him communicating that). You will be awesome and it will alllll work out you're so close!
