Being alone during pregnancy

Was any of you ever alone during your pregnancy or when you delivered ? I’m now 7 months & have been alone my whole entire pregnancy. It scares me sometimes because I don’t know who Is even going to be In the delivery room with me but I try not to think so far up ahead & stress myself out. Some days It’s easy & I put my focus on baby girl but others I get a little jealous when I see women or friends who have support from family, their partner & friends plus grieving the loss of my dad makes me feel so down (he passed In 2020) and the father of my daughter was once my best friend since our teenage years but now he doesn’t even speak to me..It definitely hurt my feelings because I never thought In life I would be so lonely especially when I grew up with a close knit family/friends but I know I’m not the only woman who Is going through pregnancy or Is raising a baby alone. Would any of you like to open up and share your story ? How are you doing ?

I am 7 months right now,and the baby daddy has been in and out of my life,and now hopefully out for good. I have been alone for most parts of my pregnancy,and have been stressed about him on others. I do understand feeling jealous and lonely when you see pregnant women coupled up, but I honestly feel better now,that he is hopefully completely out of our lives. It’s just moments .. it will come and go. But you got this.

I will say im so sorry girl I have been with my kids dad for 10 yrs but may as well have been raising our 3 boys and gonna be baby 4 by myself.... he's not exaclty active in parenting... and I was completely alone at the hospital with my youngest son. It was honeslty kinda nice to be able to spoil and snuggle my baby without having to share haha but always remember as a mama you are never truly alone anymore. That baby loves you unconditionally

Have you considered a doula? I managed to find one though a non profit organization so it’s free

I was also going to recommend a doula. There are some agencies that have scholarship or even student doulas often will work for free to build their experience and portfolio. You don’t need a ton of people. I have my husband as my support person and midwives at the birth center. But a doula would be that constant reassurance that things are going right and help you make any decisions. Mine also checked in on me after birth which was really lovely 😊

I was alone for my first two and now a good chunk of my third. My second babe I had my mom in the room with me. As baby daddy hadn’t had any contact since 8 weeks and no interest in being involved. It’s more peaceful than having someone involved who doesn’t want to be. I’m alone this time due to complications, low lying placenta and IUGR. But it’s not anyone’s choice this time. I’m not safe to travel more than 30 minute radius away from the hospital. Me and my fiancé live 2 hours away so I have to stay with family and he’s home and comes up every other weekend to spend time with me and my daughter. Who I’m staying with is getting evicted December 3rd and I may be recovering from a c-section then. I’m due 1/2 but with low lying placenta and IUGR she can come at 34 to 37 weeks. I’m almost 31 so I’m scared beyond belief. You can message me hun. I’ll be a support for you. No woman should go through pregnancy and childbirth alone.
