Are you in your third trimester of pregnancy, feeling tired and full of worry? Do you snap at your partner for little things and rarely laugh or have fun with family and friends? Are you having trouble sleeping and don’t feel yourself? Are you struggling to find your way?
Many women feel this way during pregnancy. Right now your body is going through many changes. Feeling tired and irritable are common during this time, but if you have these feelings most of the day – every day, then you need extra help.
