Loneliness

Sorry for the long post. I feel so lonely since my 5th month has started. I moved to the country 3 years ago, I have no family nor friends here. I kept crying the entire last two weeks, now I have diverted my mind. But I can't digest the feeling that I have literally no one especially missing my mom deeply around this time. Worrying this might effect my baby's health or growth, I want to stay happy, I was waiting 3 years to get preg. Iam so glad for the baby but I can't just keep myself happy, I am always in some kinda low vibe most days. is it normal to feel lonely during pregnancy or am I a little over reacting ? 😔 Also my mil wants to come to the states during my delivery time, she's a sweet person but I want my mom to be there for me as I might not feel comfortable with mil as I do with mom. They are both lil old in terms of age. 😔

Show your support

Where is your partner? Are they being supportive? Are they being there for you emotionally?

Have you tried to find a local antenatal class to meet other mums to be. That is a really good way to find a support network for after the baby comes.

I would say it’s normal considering women go through a huge hormonal shift while pregnant! it’s a big change and totally understandable that you’re worried about having a support system in place. I felt the same with my second baby. Even though my family and friends are here, I cried for a while every night, scared I’d have no help. I would say to try and talk to your partner about it. See what you’re most worried about and try to come up with a plan on how he can support you best. Also it’s totally normal to want your mom. After all, she’s who you’re comfortable with most ! And you need someone to take care of you so that you can take care of baby. Maybe try to plan it so that your mom and mil can come right after each other so that you can have a good amount of time where someone is around to help you? For example, my mom came and stayed with me for 2 weeks after I gave birth. After that my mil came and stayed for another 3 weeks with me. I hope you feel better and don’t stress!

@Lyss he's with me, he's my biggest support. Does everything he can ❤️ other than him I have no one physically here with me. It just makes me feel so lonely from time to time

@Renad thank you 🙏

@Jennifer no I haven't , where do I find such classes?

It depends what country you are in? In the uk there are various - nct, bump and baby etc
