Loneliness

Is anyone else feeling quite lonely in this first trimester? My partner couldn’t possibly DO more, but having no friends with children or in this stage of life yet has left me feeling so alone, when I talk about how I’m feeling I feel the disinterest from them. Just hoping I’m not alone in this feeling, and the guilt for feeling it!

I’m not in my first trimester, I actually have a two year old! but the loneliness still comes and goes in waves . When the baby is born it gets a bit easier because you can go to play groups and meet other mums . Even in the playground you can end up chatting to some other mums. I actually made a mum friend that way. You’re not alone in how you’re feeling x

100%% could have written this myself!!! I have a three year old but I feel so alone in the fire trimester of this pregnancy!! Feel like no one understands how tiring and draining the fire trimester is! I feel bad for keep going on about it and keep referring to myself as 'too weak to be pregnant' 😂

I feel lonely because of the fact I’m keeping it quiet from friends till my first scan just to protect my feelings during this time. I find it so weird not to be sharing such a huge thing going on and not being able to discuss it. Sorry your friends aren’t connecting with you on this, hope you can find some mum friends to chat with. No guilt, I’m similar.

Feeling very alone yet similarly my husband is doing all he can, my family and close friends know but it still doesn't feel as though I have anyone there. The roughness and sheer exhaustion hasn't helped with me either I don't think. I've had time off work when I'm usually a very sociable person there and outside of work too. Hang in there, little bub is with you x
