I’m 27 weeks pregnant and this is my first pregnancy. I was informed about the emotional aspects of pregnancy, but I never imagined how lonely I would feel. With the father not being present, effectively making me a single mother, I do have my family and friends who can offer support. However, despite this, the loneliness persists, and I find myself crying frequently. I can be around a group of people laughing and talking, and suddenly, the loneliness hits me, causing me to burst into tears. Is this normal? Is there anyone else experiencing similar feelings?

Hey, I’m in the same boat. I have my days where I feel okay and find a way to keep a smile on my face and others when I just can’t keep it together. I’m also 27 weeks as of today and a single mom, it’s tough. I was just scrolling but wanted to take a second to share some kindness and remind you to take your time to process this change and take good care of yourself. Joy is coming ✨

Same. I moved to a new state for my job and have been feeling very lonely as well. It's very hard. Almost to 27 weeks and father if baby moved back home
