No Life. Feeling Miserable

My due date is May 21st and recently ive just been feeling like im never gonna get my life back. Ive been so isolated during my pregnancy. I’m 20 and my friends smoke and do all types of stuff i can’t participate in rn. I also just haven’t been in the mood to talk to anyone really and my bf has been living his normal life this entire time. Im due in 23 days and I just feel like my life over now. So so excited to be having my baby girl i just feel like im losing myself during this process.

I felt that. I didn’t realize so much would change but everything did, my body, my emotions, my focus but God did I need that. Sometimes new is scary but ik atleast for me it has been better..wishing you luck mama🩷💙

I’m sorry :( you’re young and it’s hard when people are doing all that and you’re pregnant. Look on Facebook for any local mommy groups or post and try to find a community it’ll make such a big difference for your mental health. Post Partum is no joke and if you already feel this way now it’ll be harder when she’s here. Wishing you the best!!!

I think every mother no matter what age feels this loss of self and identity. There is a part of me that is super jealous about women who have their kids super young, because girl by the time your my age your kid is going to be 13 and by the time you’re 38 your kid will be graduating. And you’ll be soooo young! A lot of people are having their first kid at 38 which means they are going to be 55 when the kids out of the house. Alsooo.. You’ll find your flow with motherhood and you’ll meet people along the way who are the same age and mothers and you’ll have date night and you’ll get out there still! It’ll all be an adjustment but you got this! I’m sure when the baby is here it’ll register more with your boyfriend, sometimes it takes the men a little longer lol

I honestly lost a lot of friends when I had my first. My friends were in a different phase of life and I couldn’t or didn’t want to do those things anymore. You will find a rhythm and find mom friends and it will get better. It was hard for me for the first few months and sometimes it still is (my oldest is only 18 months) but it gets better.

I’m also due on 21st 😀 You’ve got this momma Few more weeks and it’s all gonna be worth it 💯💯 You’re birthing a child and also gonna birth a new you…xoxo

I was 18 when I had my first. She's now 15. I did miss out on a lot. You will lose that part of your young adulthood, but looking back, she saved me in more than one way. She also grew up with me too. But I have never regretted her because they bring a sense of purpose and true love you never experienced. Being a momma, u have to make more mature decisions than if u were jidf hanging out. Sadly, you may lose a few friends along the way. I did. Also, her father. But he was focused on D1 opportunities not stepping up. (Not everyone like that. I hope he is ready like you as it definitely changes both of you.) Just reading what you put, i hope he does change when ur little one comes... but there are plenty of other mommas out there going in the same boat and can become some of your best supporters if you let them. Part of ur life may feel over, but I'm telling you. A new beginning is going to be just as beautiful.
