I am quite an outgoing and social person and I feel like my life's completely changed. I'm grateful for the pregnancy I really am, we tried for such a long time, but I just feel so alone. Anyone else feel anything similar? I feel like my friends and family don't understand and just think I'm being dramatic.

Yes - I think it’s a really lonely experience especially if you’re feeling unwell with it too. I’ve found since telling people the loneliness increased as it was everybody like excited / happy and then dropped off very very quickly x

Yes I a single parent...never go out.. never date. .don't had sex in 3 years...that's me done..juts waiting to die.

Pregnancy although wonderful, can be such a lonely and stressful time. You are still figuring out your hormones during this new experience, so there just feels like there’s no way anyone else could understand. I think the best thing you can do is to take extra care of yourself. I go on long walks or take a little extra time pampering in the evening.
When a baby comes our priorities naturally change, which is a big adjustment. It won’t click into place overnight, but I promise one day it will. 💕

it’s an IVF one for me and my medical protocol is pretty intense with several injections a day which makes it pretty tricky to socialise from logistics point of view. It’s also early to share with friends (yet to reach 12 weeks). I can’t wait for the second tremester when I can open up to at least few friends.
