Anyone else feeling lonely in pregnancy?

[Sleepyhead19]

I wondered if anyone else felt this way? My family are not particularly bothered, the father is absolutely ignorant towards how I feel and all my friends work then have their own families to deal with. I don’t have anyone to talk to and feel very alone.
I have signed up to an nct course in the hope of meeting other mums I may have things in common with.
I don’t want to bother my friends with my problems. Am I the only one feeling like this? Everyone else seems to have friends, family and partners getting very involved.

Hi @Sleepyhead19.

I'm in the same boat as you, family aren't very supportive neither is the dad. I feel like I'm so lonely and no one is interested in how I feel etc. It's horrible

Hi @jbg08 I’m sorry you are feeling this way too. Yes I feel unsupported too. I have other children and I’m not worried about coping with a new baby, but it would be nice to have people bother with us and say they are there if we need them. My ex is leaving in a couple of weeks so I will be a single mum and I feel like everyone is judging me and are uninterested in the baby and myself because of that. I’m not someone who seeks attention or likes having much attention, but just to know someone cared would be nice. The baby’s dad only pretends to be interested (occasionally) so that when it’s born, he can be involved but he’s been so horrible and has no interest in my wellbeing. I work hard and am exhausted.
How far along are you?

I felt the exact same way in pregnancy. It will pass, its good you’ve joined an NCT

I feel the same. My husband works a lot of evenings. My mum cbf.
My mother in law lives in Derby but chat to her every day. Wish she loved closer tbh

I’m sorry you felt this way too. I hope it will pass. I have friends that I thought would be there for me but I have hardly heard from them lately. I know they are busy but I always make sure I send a text if I know they are having a hard time and it doesn’t take two seconds.
I think the idea going through the rest of the pregnancy and birth alone is getting to me. I’m sure I’ll be too busy to let it all get to me when the baby arrives.
Thank you for taking the time to reply.
