My wife doesn't want to meet anyone at all, not even our family, just a week before giving birth. I'm afraid, is this normal, or does she want to distance herself from me? Some of my friends say it's due to anxiety, but I'm conflicted.
My spouse didn't want it this way before the birth either. We didn't have a crowd for a week, and I had a mountain of things on my mind. But after the birth, everything changed, it really did. Maybe it was because of anxiety.
How many weeks pregnant are you? If the reason is anxiety, I think that happens in every pregnancy. But haven’t you talked about it?
@soncaykaldi we're actually in the 36th week, so it's getting close. I feel like it's due to anxiety, but I'm not sure, I also feel a bit of pressure.
I see something different here. If your spouse doesn't want it, maybe they really just want to be with you, but why are you questioning it? It feels like you're exaggerating 🙄
The desire for loneliness during pregnancy is a common situation influenced by hormones. If you can go through this in a comfortable environment, your anxiety may decrease. Everything is normal, but try to talk.
it doesn't seem strange to me.
if necessary consult a doctor, this situation is very common but don’t let it turn into a devil.
Just speak up, why are you dwelling on it if you don't have another plan?
Maybe as the birth approaches, she might be afraid of losing her own control. The desire to be alone could also be an effort to gather her thoughts during this time. You mentioned she feels pressure; could that pressure be coming from herself as well?
