Hello, I am not sure if anyone is out there or will read this as I am not too familiar using this platform. I am currently 30+2, and have had a really difficult past week, mentally.
My partner and I live in London, and have been having a very quiet pregnancy (socially) due to Covid-19 still being very much an issue across the country. We have declined essentially all social events our friends have invited us to - and now that we’ve reached 3rd Trimester, we are on the home stretch - but naturally with Christmas being around the corner, and people going out and about, FOMO is hitting us hard.
My partner is extremely supportive, and I am so grateful for him being by my side throughout the pregnancy. I can’t help but feel guilt this is my fault that we can’t do anything. I worry once our little one is here, we still won’t be able to do anything. I have zero doubts and am so happy we are expecting (this is our first) - but I have seen my friends on 5 separate occasions this year… and it’s almost December. My family live on the other side of the world, my mum will be flying over soon (permitting this new Covid variant doesn’t stop her/result in her flight being cancelled).
I just want to know if anyone out there feels this, or has felt this at some stage? I just feel really low and whenever we go out somewhere quiet for a drink or two, I can’t enjoy the atmosphere while my partner has a few drinks and I am just sat there wishing I could enjoy some drinks too. It’s just been an especially tough week. Feeling low.
