How to get over loneliness when pregnant

Make sure you plan sometime for yourself I.e baby sitter couple times a month . Also you don’t know how difficult your birth might be so I wouldn’t rush back to work . Prepare for everything you can buy stuff in advance bulk ,clothes & formula / do the nursey before the baby arrives etc

I made a few friends on here which definitely helped with all my worries and questions when I was pregnant as everyone disappeared once they found out I was pregnant. I’d be more than happy to add you on anything if you ever need someone to talk to or have any questions about baby. My son is 7 month old and my so called “friends” haven’t contacted me once. It’s hard at the start but does get better x

You can have a village and still feel lonely. Pregnancy is very lonely for a lot of women for some reason and I feel the same. I have a partner and a family who are supportive but it’s still very tough at times, I can’t really put my finger on why. I believe that’s why pregnant women and new mums try to stick together and find each other on apps like this because only we all know how each other feels and the struggle of pregnancy although it may be a beautiful thing, it is very tough, especially when it’s your first,Ithink you need to find some friends on this app or go to some classes and make some friends and know when your baby comes you will have new friends and a new group of people who can support you as well as you helping someone else who may need supporting. It’s normal to feel scared but I try to tell myself (this is also my first pregnancy) that I don’t want to look back on growing my baby and all I remember is how terrified I was everyday, I just want to enjoy it.

With my first I felt this pretty heavily. My family live in another country, but we’re not super close anyway. Husbands family all worked lots at the time. My best advice is doing NTC / baby and bump classes. I found lovely people who were going though everything I was. Really helped me feel less alone and were still in contact over 2 years later x

I am the same and it's me and my husband we don't have a village. With my LB (now nearly 2) I did pregnancy yoga and made friends for life and our little ones are growing up together. I am now pregnant with twins and so scared because I have no family around but my friends from the first pregnancy have all stepped forward offering help, second hand baby bits, baby sitting etc. At nearly every pregnancy class/baby class most mum's are looking for people to talk to! We are all lonely and help each other along
