Feeling lonely

It’s hard when no one knows. That’s what this community is for though! I remember feeling lonely. You’ve got this 🥳

Definitely have felt this the whole pregnancy. Felt like my life was the only one really changing at all

thank you ladies both! It’s honestly the first day I’ve felt like this. I’m thinking it’s because of a lot of our family still don’t know. I just want to tell every stranger I pass that I’m pregnant so they know. Thanks again girls!

i told my in laws literally the day we found out, and my parents too but still felt like this so you're definitely not alone. It does get better though!

Oh yeah I felt the same ! Especially early on... you are getting your head round something massive and it takes weeks or months to mentally adjust. And no one can do it with you. So it's normal.
Speak to friends who have been through it if you can. Discussing my anxiety with a friend was so reassuring because she'd been through it, you feel like the only one and it's weird not feeling "happy" about such a big thing. But it's sooo normal especially with the hormones
My boyfriend has done a month of no drinking this month which actually helped way more than I expected- it's a little taste of the changes we have to make ! 😛

my mum knows, me and dad aren’t speaking right now and we’re trying to figure out how to tell his father. My MIL passed in 2021

that’s some really good advice. I have a girlfriend raising two beautiful kids by herself and I’ve called on her for most things. I’ll have to chat with her about this too! Thank you my friend

I’m 7 weeks Friday x

I’m almost 5 weeks and I can’t say I’m over the moon. Feeling very intense waves of depression and morning the loss of who I’ve always been. It’s scary. Keep putting it out there. I friend to hold it in and it made it way worse!

definitely don't hold it in ! The mourning is sooo real and normal. The more you feel it the faster it'll pass ☺️ x

I have days where I feel sad and angry and there is no real reason to feel that way. Sometime it just wanna cry but not for any reason other than I feel sad. I blame it on the hormones. I’m
Honest with my peoples about when I’m having those days tell them how I’m feeling and that I know I have no reason to feel that way. I find if I get some good exercise like a 25 min workout and really focus on healthy foods and avoiding the sugary stuff I usually feel much more like myself the next day. I’ve been thru at least threes sets of 2-3 days of this “sad and depressed” feeling. I do really think the exercise helps. Getting the heart rate up for at least 20mins. Hope this helps you
