Loneliness

I also feel like my mum has been overly focused on my uncle’s 3-month-old baby. It’s really nice to see her being such a great help to them, but it feels like she doesn’t give me the same energy. I’ve brought it up with her several times, but it doesn’t seem to sink in. She says she’s excited to be a grandma soon, but her actions don’t really match her words. Unfortunately, I’ve been to antenatal classes, and while the other mums-to-be seemed lovely, I didn’t feel a strong enough connection to exchange numbers or build any real friendships. Maybe I’m the problem, lol.
Yes, i understand how you feel, been through it 3 times now, it’s heartbreaking because you see others being made a big deal of celebrated etc and you feel invisible, were due in march if you want someone to talk to, give me a message and il give you my number xx
Pregnancy and being a mum is honestly the loneliest place! Because every pregnancy is so different I mean people have similar experiences but everything is unique to you! I have said to people I feel so lonely and I know this is number 2 but I’m struggling with everything still. Everyone was so much more involved with my 1st pregnancy that this time round apart from my midwife I don’t speak to anyone about it x
What you’re feeling sounds understandable based on what you’ve said, and I’m sorry that’s been the case for you! Have you tried joining any mum and baby groups or prenatal classes? Maybe other likeminded and just as excited mummies-to-be could provide that extra bit of understanding and excitement? I know it’s not the same, but it would be a start?! ❤️
