Loneliness

Hi, I’m struggling with feeling quite lonely in pregnancy. I only have a handful of friends. 2 of them are pregnant which is quite nice, but I don’t really see the others. I’ve just joined a pregnancy Pilates group but I feel people keep to themselves. Does anyone have any ideas how I can connect with others and make like minded friends? I’m 15 weeks pregnant and live in Kent (UK). Xx

I feel you I myself don’t have many friends and the one friend I “really had” was my best friend of 12+ years she never reached out to me during my pregnancy and not even now that I’ve had my beautiful daughter she was there when I gave birth and came to visit once after but it’s been silent since it’s sucks so much but I came to terms that you lose friends when you have a baby you should definitely reach out to your friends who are pregnant because you’re going through the same process and will be able to relate more

I totally understand how you feel. I felt like that too when I was pregnant especially when I had to stop work cause I had pregnancy induced hypertension. Although I had to stay home fully from 29weeks. Then the loneliness became so bad and I was miserable, cried my eyes out the first two weeks of being idle and staying home alone. I had friends too but would check their insta stories and realised they all hung out without me. It made me sad that I was always left out. But it all started making sense when I started embracing the life I was carrying and started to understand I needed to find myself in this new journey. So I stopped being sad and went out a lot alone(even though I was always breathing like a horse 😂😂), did a lot of window shopping 😂 , dressed myself and went for spa(found out there were actually loads of pregnancy spa centres in the uk), set up baby’s room, shopped a lot on Vinted and before I knew it baby was here. Everything will be fine Dw. xx

SERIOUSLYYYY...

I want my own bestie! 😂💕 Not a friend group, not a group effort, just ONE genuine friendship where we really click! Somebody I can call about absolutely nothing, laugh with, have girl days, random outings, deep conversations, or just sit around and do nothing with. 😂

No competition, no weird energy, no forcing conversations. Just a genuine, easygoing friendship where we both show up for each other. I love my peace, but I also want somebody to enjoy life with outside of being a wife and mama! 🥹💕

Is that too much to ask?! 😂
