Loneliness in pregnancy?

Hi, is anyone else feeling really lonely in their pregnancy?
I’m 10 and a half weeks and I’m starting to get things ready for my baby as my daughter is nearly 7 and I kept nothing. I’m finding myself really wanting someone to bounce ideas off, to get excited with me, to send links to and coo over the nice stuff or just to say “what do you think?”
I’m single, I have no family apart from my daughter and I’ve never been able to make friends (very socially awkward)!
I’m also worrying about the labour. My last birth was 4 hours from the first twinge to delivery which is fairly quick for a first birth, so I’m worried what will happen this time with getting my daughter looked after and getting to hospital. What happens if I have to call an ambulance and I haven’t found a childcare provider to look after my daughter? Will the ambulance take her too?? I’m high risk so home birth isn’t allowed.
Sorry for babbling, I’ve just got so many questions going around in my head and nobody to ask them to.
Thanks x

don't have any answers for you but i understand the loneliness as i am single to, though i do have family. i'd recommend getting your daughter involved in getting things ready for the new arrival, make her a huge part of it, it'll also help reducing any jealousy she may have once baby is here.

also remember, you are already a single mother, if your daughter is happy and healthy, then you are already amazing, you can and will do this xxx
