Pregnancy lonliness - FT young mom 🤍

I am 19, turning 20 in April, just found out that I am pregnant a few days ago, currently 5w5d. Being a mommy has been my biggest dream, i never yearned for a career, all i wanted is to raise happy and healthy babies. I moved out of the country from my family to live with my boyfriend, I pretty much have no friends, and have a fairly distant relationship with my family. As happy as I am to be blessed with my little miracle, I have never felt more lonely in my life. My body is changing, my brain is going through so many thoughts, I work full time while having to manage with my symptoms that are intensifying day by day, and I feel like I have no one to talk to. How do you all do it? How can I feel less lonely? I feel so much guilt and anxiety that I might feel like this throughout my whole pregnancy, I don't want my baby to feel all these negative emotions and stress. I am so happy to grow this miracle of mine, yet it all happened so unexpectedly that I'm having a difficult time to process, especially having to process it all alone

Hey! I'm sorry you're feeling lonely and unsupported, that sounds really tough to go through pregnancy without much support or people to even just talk to. Is your boyfriend helping you out? Honestly I get it, its tough and it must be even harder being so young. I definitely felt very alone during my pregnancy too because I wasn't in contact with my family. But I think once the baby is here something changes where all your focus goes to the baby and noone else matters anymore. Sure its helpful to have family that supports you, but if you dont have anyone maybe you can look into doulas or midwives that help moms post partum. I know they have doulas that come to your house to help with the baby, im not sure where you are and if that's something youd have to pay for/in your budget but it might be helpful.

Definitely keep seeking connections with other local moms around you, maybe you will find someone who'll want the company too. Be proud of yourself for all you're already doing. I believe in you

Hey love I turned 23 during my pregnancy and I found out I was pregnant after moving 18 hours away from my family and everything I’ve ever known. I felt the same my whole pregnancy. I’m currently a stay at home mom and often still feel the same so if you need anyone to talk to I will literally stay on the phone or text all day.

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

Spicy chat

Anyone up for a spicy chat, I’m horny

Friends

I’ve been on this app for almost 5 years now I still can’t find one friend. I just need a friend. I’m so fucking lonely.

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers

What happened to Zainab

Hey guys haven’t been on here in a sec! Just come to realise I haven’t seen any posts / comments from Zainab (I’m sure that’s her name 🫠) hoping she is ok , I’m sure she was a Mod but can’t seem to find her anymore 🤔

Vitamins?

Does anyone do vitamins for their one year old?
Just seeing if it’s worth trying as the never ending colds and illnesses are battering our house 😂
