While being single and pregnant what are ways you comfort yourself?

I’m towards the end and I get so sad sometimes. It would be so much easier to just have someone hold you sometimes and tell you everything is going to be okay. I guess my anxiety is going up.

Who feels left out by the other mums while at the school gate waiting for it to open.

My son just started reception and I can see some groups forming. I can sense the bitchyness and the eye rolls when I walk in. One mum even walked straight passed me and said hi to everyone except me.
