Anyone else feeling like EXTREMELY lonely and defeated?

I know it says it’s very common during pregnancy, but I don’t remember feeling this alone when I was pregnant with my angel baby. I love my husband and know he will be a great dad but I feel a lot of times I’m on this journey by myself. I’m doing my best to not take it out on him but then I worry baby is feeling the tension in the house too. I think that’s really why I downloaded the app cause living in Colorado vs back in Hawaii with all my family and support is making desperate for a community or people who can relate to feeling alone during this time. Sorry for the rant just want to see if im the only one feeling this alone during such a beautiful time.

me too sometimes bc before i stayed at home all day, i got no family or close friends around, and my partner works a long time so i’d be at home alone a lot and then the preggo symptoms hit 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Lacey thank you! Yeah it sucks too cause we don’t talk to his family like at all. They’ve told him for years he’d never make a good father and have never supported our relationship (we’re interracial). They don’t even know we’re expecting but as time goes on the doubt is creeping into my hubbys head and he closes himself off as if he believes what he’s been told most of his life. I know he’ll be a good father but it’s hard reassuring him when he’s not being the best partner he can be right now. Any suggestions on how to encourage him to be more involved?

I am, too, but i recently lost my husband to suicide and I just lost my mom Saturday to a brain aneurysm. I really have nobody outside of my kids at this point.

@Susan wow you are such a strong woman! Im sorry for your loss and I honesty don’t think I’d have the strength you have if I was in your position. I appreciate you being open and sad to say but it humbles me to know I could be going through so much more. I wish you all the luck in life and with your precious baby on the way

Same.

I’ve been very lonely, I went from working a full time job to being a stay at home mom to be. Pregnant with twins and it amplified some of my health problems so I can’t get out and about too much. It’s been a huge adjustment for me and it’s been very lonely. I don’t have very many mom friends, and the ones I do have don’t really understand.
