Nobody ever tells you how lonely pregnancy can get.

it really is, my friends are the same, im lucky in the sense that one of my best friends is also pregnant, so we tend to keep in touch more as we can relate to each other and share experiences.
i think it shows who your true friends and family are, if they cannot support you through pregnancy, and only want to see baby when he or she is here, then they don't deserve to see them at all. they should be prioritising you and making you feel included, even though you may not be able to do everything you did before.
this app may help you! if your in your local areas group you may find some pregnant friends who are close and would like to meet up for lunch or a chat! always message me if you feel lonley, we are all here to help😊

I am extremely lonely as well. Friends and family haven't really bothered with me at all!

That's why this app is good, we all understand each other xxx

I felt super lonely when I was first pregnant but I've found the more I talk to people about it does help, but with no pregnant/ mum friends you do feel like your friends don't have a clue! We have so much to do in our house before the baby comes so I am just reaching out to family and friends for help now! 🤗 don't be afraid to reach out and ask for what you need! 🥰

I get it, I’m feeling it a bit too.

But honestly I was like it when friends told me they were pregnant… people have busy lives and have their own stuff going on.
It’s quite difficult to know what it feels like unless you are pregnant.

I’ve tried to maintain my normal friendships doing the same things like going to the gym, going to dinners and even out to drinks with them (even though I need to go home earlier).

For pregnancy stuff I’m spending more time with friends who’ve already had kids or people who are pregnant.

Feeling the same. This app is great 😊 so great to have other pregnant mummas to reassure me and connect with. I have no friends to organise a shower and I’m thinking of just doing my own for family and not bothering friends! I’m keen to meet up for tea n cake or walks if you in Bristol xx

I'm totally the same, I thought friends and family would have been a lot more excited (given my conception struggles), maybe they are, they just don't show it to me.

My immediate family contacts me maybe once a week, if that and I have been left out of social occasions. My partner has even told me he doesn't feel like he can bond with our baby and rarely takes interest. I just feel so isolated. Sorry for the moan.

On the plus side though I can't wait to meet my baby and all the cuddles.
