Losing friends pregnancy
So all of my friends have really distanced themselves from me this pregnancy and have made it clear that we are on different pathways in life they don’t have any children and I’m about to have my second
I feel completely lost like I have no one to do anything with or talk to and scared of the unknown of about to go through childbirth and postpartum and all I have is my partner😭

If they have made it clear how they feel they don’t deserve you. It will be them one day, and I bet they wished they had been more empathetic towards you when they have a million questions about becoming a mum! Try to focus on the positive, sounds like a blessing in disguise if you ask me. Your little ones and partner are all you need. I’m the only person in my very small friend group having a baby but I’m so excited for this next chapter of my life to focus on being the best mum to my baby. I’m sure you are an amazing mum and that’s all that matters! Feel free to message me if you fancy a chat ☺️

I don’t know many people where I live as we moved just before lockdown, none of my friends have had or ever plan to have children so don’t have any interest in hearing about my pregnancy journey constantly. They haven’t pulled away but I’m very conscious of what I talk to them about and try not to focus it too much around the baby. I was feeling the same as you, really worried about feeling lonely especially with not working and having any family or friends where I live but I joined an antenatal class and have been using this platform to meet other mums to be in the areas. Once baby arrives I’m planning on going to lots of mother and baby groups to meet more people and I’m feeling better about everything already so would recommend reaching out to groups in your area. You’re not alone.
