Feeling a bit lonely...

[MrsJ]

Hi,
Im due February 07 and i'm feeling a bit lonely...
My husband is fantastic but I live away from my mum who i'm very close with.
And now it suddenly feels like i've realised all of a sudden that a lot of people I was in touch with have disapeared... This baby means so much to me and I worry a lot that every thing will be ok, you know has she moved enough, grown enough, have I eaten right etc etc.
May be i've turned into some boring mum to be!
I'm getting a bit worried about when i'm off work as i'm kind of shy and I haven't lived here all that long and work full time so the friends I have here are from work...
I dunno maybe just ramblings of a hormonal pregnant women I guess.
Sorry just needed a little rant.

get yourself out to mums and tots as soon as you are able - it is hard to take that first step but you will be glad you did it and will soon make friends just like starting a new jobs except you get to chat whenever you want instead of having to rush off to finish something or go to a meeting etc and then you can invite them to yours for coffee etc and they understand what you are going through because theirs has done it or is going through it etc hth a bit.

try not to worry so much, baby should be fine, i know you will still worry but try not to, babies like to be in a nice calm relaxed environment so the more chilled you are the more chilled baby is. when you find yourself getting het up go and have a bar of choc or a lie down

MrsJ - in case you haven't already discovered it, there's a thread for people who are due in Feb 07. Might be good to chat with people at the same stage in their pregnancy as you (as well as joining in with other threads on here).

Have you found out about antenatal classes, either NHS or NCT ones? They are a great way to make friends and also find other people who want to talk about those pregnancy/baby things for hours on end.

i know how ur feel iv just had to move out of my parents for the first time my partner has left me and baby is due feb i feel very isolated at the mo and feel like i hate where im living i miss living at home.

Thanks so much for all the responses! I really appreciate all of them.

It is the first steps that are hard but I'm definitely going to try and take your advice. I have a antenatal health and fitness class to go to on tuesday night and im really nervous about going alone!
Its just a one off class though.

Becs21- I really hope things work out for you!

Again thanks and i'll try to stop worrying! Think i'm going to end up an over protective mother lol

I'll make sure to try and post more on the bored too!
