Second Pregnancy Lonliness

Has anyone else ever experienced this? I’m 26 weeks pregnant and it’s been weeks and weeks since anyone reached out to check how I’m getting on. No one ever asks how I am. They will however always ask how my firstborn is and undoubtedly will be very excited when baby is born. Just feels like no one cares about how I’m doing. Probably being over precious here but just feeling so down and lonely. I have the most supportive husband and am very lucky to receive so much love and support from him, just don’t get it from either side of the family. Doubt anyone will ever read this, just feeling very sad.

I think second pregnancy can be different but it doesn’t invalidate the need to be loved on. You’ve got this mama! 😍

It’s so hard, it’s completely different to the first and really challenging. I am feeling the same. Hang in there, hope things get easier for you soon.

Totally relate. The lack of support this time is crazy even though it’s 10x harder looking after a toddler pregnant.

This pregnancy is harder so I reached out to my friends and family earky on, telling them how sick I was, I got more messages at the time. Now they know I'm better so not a lot of them reaching out but that's ok. I'm focusing on myself and my family, I think people think you got this has it's the second time. Don't hesitate to reach out to them if you need fo talk or have their support , they also may things going on in their live. For instance, I talked to my brother recently, he lives abroad, I understand now why I haven't heard from him in a while, they had a pregnancy lost, so you never know
