I feel like I’m losing myself

Ever since I got pregnant I’ve started to feel like I’m no longer the person I was. Which, obviously I am not, I’m pregnant and my life is different. But I’m not sure who I am anymore. Does anyone else feel this way? I’ve just lost friends and they all wanna drink, smoke and party and I can’t do those things.

I feel this way too. I can’t do certain things anymore or simply don’t have the energy to do them so I almost feel like I lost a part of who I am but I also know hormones play a HUGE part in how we feel and along with all the changes in our life going on, it can really affect us. I try to tell myself this is all temporary and I’ll find myself again and I believe you will too 🫶 it just takes some time to adjust. you will most likely not be close to those friends anymore because your journey is changing. That’s okay. Surround yourself with people who are willing to be there no matter what. If you need to vent or anything, you can message me 💕

I really appreciate this. I have been crying all morning, I feel like I’ve been left alone in this and I had expected more people to be happy for me. Thanks 💕

I understand. I haven’t told anybody yet and honestly I’m not sure how much support I’ll get from them so I’m not in any rush to tell. But it really helps to talk to someone 💕 is the father/boyfriend involved?

my boyfriend was all in at first but now I’ve noticed he messages me less and doesn’t wanna spend a lot of time with me. I am married (poly relationship) so my wife has been here for me but she’s also upset that he isn’t more involved since it is his baby I’m pregnant with. I honestly think he’s been messing around with someone else and is done with me. It’s a complicated situation.

I think some men just need time to process everything. Sometimes we get caught up in what we’re feeling because we’re the one who’s pregnant but men can very much have alot going on in their head too. I’m not sure if that’s the case for you but it’s possible. If not, then at least you have the support of your wife 🫶 you got this 🫶

that’s true. I think I’m just emotional and overthinking things. I hurt my own feelings.
