Lonely pregnancy

Hey ladies! Im hoping im not the only one to feel like this but since being pregnant i feel like my circle of friends i did have just doesn’t bother anymore, im 27 and im due to have a little baby boy in June 2026! Im not originally from Liverpool so the friends i did have was only a small handful, im hoping by me posting i can meet people who may be feeling the same and meet some new friends and get myself out of this house! Thank you for reading Mamas 🫶🏼

Wish we lived closer as I’m in the same
Boat, I’ve got a 6 year old and I’ve never been as lonely! The only thing I do is work and be a mum, it would be so nice to have some friends!

Heya, I have a 3 month old boy & live in Warrington, so not too far! And definitely feeling the same way as I’m also not from around here & didn’t have a wide circle to begin with. Definitely drop me a message if you’d like - I’d love to meet some mom friends as well!

Look for any prenatal swimming/Pilates/yoga/walking groups near you. That’s where I met some of the local mum friends, who I can actually meet and go out for brunch etc after coz they were already out. Hard to get a pregnant mama out when she’s got social anxiety or not feeling well, id rather meet them naturally and make friends organically so I force myself to go to those groups. Later when baby is born, baby groups

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

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.

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣

Loosing connection

I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant and my partner can’t and hasn’t come anywhere near me sexually for about 12 weeks or so now. We tried but he got put off saying he was worried he was hurting the baby. I’ve spoken to him about this trying to tell him he can’t and he’s no where near, I’ve sent him email links I’ve had through on newsletters. My libido is through the roof and I’m worried we will drift apart if we don’t have aex again soon.
