Depressed over DD turning 4

[Mum2SweetCs]

Hi ladies,

need a bit of advice if anyone knows what is going on.

DD is 4 today. I know I should be happy but actually I feel really down and upset and very teary every time I think about her turning 4.

Is this normal? pregnancy hormones?

I really want to be happy but i couldn't even eat dinner thinking about DD being 4.

Argh, whats wrong with me??!?!!

Thanks for listening.

Awww given that you are pregnant, I'd say a lot of it might be hormones? Every time DD1 has a birthday I feel sad but also happy too that she's growing into a beautiful little girl..... it's a mixture of emotions when they reach another birthday.

Are you sad because it's going too fast? That she'll be in school soon?

It makes me sad when I think about the time DD is left with me at home before she starts school (she just turned 3) and thats another reason why I am looking into homeschooling

Yeh i think so, every time i think of school i also feel like throwing up!!!

I know i should be happy i really do that she is growing up but man, was only yesterday she was in my arms as a baby =(

I am a bit upset about DD1 turning 3... I think because I wanted her to have a sibling already, and to think about the age gap, and the fact that she is still an only child, still upsets me.

Hey hun, surprisingly i didn't think that even though we would have loved to have given her a sibling two years ago. She will have one in Sept =)

Thanks for your support.

If it's any help, I'm feeling really super emotional about DD turning 2 tomorrow. I can't even put my finger on why, and I don't have pregnancy hormones in the mix!

I feel really silly about it but it's how I feel part of me just thinks it's my baby growing up so fast.

Hope you feel better tomorrow
