Bored and Lonely (a bit woe is me)

[TurquoiseWeekend]

Someone have a word with me and put me back in my place!!

I know I'm being stupid and irrational, but today is my due date, my midwife tried to do a sweep yesterday, which didn't work as I just wasn't ready, which makes me think baby won't be here this week like I thought.

All of my friends who are already mums kept saying they couldn't wait until I was on maternity leave so we could do stuff together. I've been on maternity leave for two weeks now and I've seen one friend for one afternoon, but there's the lot of them today all on Instagram stories hanging out together. No invite for me.
Nobody has text me to acknowledge that it's my due date (why should they, I know they all have lives and this date isn't as big to anybody as it is to me and DP).

Like I said, I know I'm being irrational, but I'm bored, lonely, want the baby to come now and I just needed to vent!!

I think feeling lonely is a really common feeling during pregnancy, I certainly feel lonely a lot!

I know it’s hard when you feel you’re being forgotten about, but try to make extra effort to reach out to people. I actually messaged a few of my friends and told them how I was feeling and they made a big effort to see me more. I also joined some Facebook groups for women due around the same time as me in my area and have been meeting them once a week.

It’s not easy when you’re pregnant and tired, but if you reach out to people I think you’ll find they’ll be understanding - especially fellow mums!
