Lonely

Anyone else struggling with loneliness in pregnancy? I realise my only hobby was going out for drinks which obviously I can’t do, and I’m just too tired to go out all day and drink lemonade! My husband is still carrying on his social life so I have a lot of evenings after work and the weekends where I’m just on my own at home with the dog. Feeling pretty sad that everyone seems to be having fun out and I’m stuck at home in a bad mood because I feel like I’m missing out! Hoping it’s just hormones!

I’m the exact same, I didn’t notice before just how nice it was just to nip out to the pub for one to socialise. I don’t have any outdoorsy hobbies either so I spend most nights in alone as my partner is still doing as he did before. It’s also effect my mood & I feel somewhat rejected

That’s exactly how I feel! I didn’t realise how alienating pregnancy can be from your life previously 😫

I feel exactly the same, somewhat jealous of my partners continued social life while I’m at home. I know I could go out if I wanted too, I just don’t have the energy anymore and would probably rather spend my evenings in bed! Haha but it still doesn’t stop the feeling of loneliness and knowing what you’re missing out on. I try and tell myself this isn’t forever and I know that how I’m feeling now will be worth it in the end when I’m bringing up my baby! I also think those pesky hormones play a big part in it as well!

You could always join some pregnancy based activities ie pregnancy yoga, aqua bumps etc handy to meet people who are in the same stage of life!

my partner went out the other night and met up with his friends whilst i was sat with our poorly 3 year old and it just really drained me, i don’t want to make him stay at home with me all day, but if he decided this on his own it would be ideal😂
