My second pregnancy and it feels so lonely. Almost no one asks about the baby, no gifts (which don’t matter but basically no attention), I feel no one is excited specially because I’ll be having the same gender.

That's exactly how my 2nd pregnancy went, too. It's hurtful esp if I think about it but I'd just focus on you & your kids/pregnancy & if they want to be involved, they'll involve themselves. I will say, if you need closure-you might need to be the 1 to message/call or confront the situation with everyone & ask why the excitement is being portrayed differently, even though it's a completely different pregnancy/baby. Maybe even make the comment about how you hope the baby doesn't receive this muted response when you give birth, too.

However, none of this deflates your feelings or excuses how they're being unsupportive during this transition.

I actually bombard everyone by all the pregnancy things. Send messages about weekly updates for my second one, ultrasounds all of it. I’m going through this pregnancy and they all will witness it whether they want it or not! Let’s not pretend like it’s still not the hardest thing our body does! Especially with a toddler running around!

I understand. I am having my second daughter and I also have had little support. I’m just accepting that my circle is going to be smaller and they don’t get to be apart of our lives. I ended my relationship with my own half-sister because she hasn’t acknowledged my pregnancy. “Friends” who came to my wedding who haven’t messaged me a single “how are you”. I really think second pregnancies show you who’s really going to be in your life for the long haul ❤️‍🩹 I feel extra gratitude to the few who are active in our lives.
