Is it just me

Or is pregnancy the loneliest experience in the world. I feel like such a miserable cow, I have a fantastic family, a DS and DD and my husband is great although I don't expect him to understand how I'm feeling. I'm currently 30 weeks with baby no.3 and I feel totally alone. My parents live in the next street and I see them a lot I have brothers who I meet up with every couple of weeks for breakfast or lunch and sister in laws who always check in but I still can't but feel lonely. My husband works days and I work nights so I we're a bit like passing ships, maybe that's it. What is wrong with me?

I'm finding it incredibly lonely! I moved away from family to be with my boyfriend (only 25 miles but it's still an hour car journey) made 1 yes ONE friend here and thats because she's my partners friends girlfriend! My 'friends' i left in my hometown don't even bother to message or reply to messages and to top it all off i'm not on maternity so even more alone time! I feel awful for feeling like this but sometimes i just need to vent

It’s definitely not just you hun, I’ve felt the most alone I’ve ever felt in my life.
Family and DP are both really supportive but I just feel like no one understands! Xx

I'm so glad it's not just me. What a horrible feeling. I feel like such an ungrateful cow moaning but I've never felt like this. I've got everything I could want and I'm still moaning 😆 if my husband finds me upset he says why are you crying and I don't know but he doesn't understand that someone can cry without knowing what they're crying for. I'm just an over hormonal pregnant maniac I think

I’ve been on maternity leave for a week and we’ve been in our new house for just a month. I feel so lonely during the day by myself in a house that doesn’t feel like mine yet. I spent all last night crying and my boyfriend, although he’s fantastic, doesn’t get why I’m crying. I don’t either really 🙈 but I defo agree it can be such a lonely time x

@bobble53 going on maternity leave worries me I work full time nights with a brilliant group of girls who always manage to make me laugh, I think I'll miss them when I go on leave. Thankfully I'm only going 2 weeks before my due date. It's heartbreaking how many people feel alone at such a vulnerable time x

I hate pregnancy. It makes me anxious as I have a history of mc, I get every horrible side effect under the sun and I definitely don't glow. I want a baby but it is not fun to go through pregnancy to get one!

Last time I found mat leave quite challenging. Thinking of joining NCT this time just to get some coffee mates as I don't know people who live near to me really.

@mummaB89 it’s super difficult to leave work, unfortunately I got made redundant when my previous employer went into liquidation and I was 7 and a half months pregnant - it was probably my hardest challenge to date I had no job, no income (still don’t as waiting for SMP)
SO works his butt off to keep us afloat for now but it’s just so hard.
Sending I just can’t wait for my little one to arrive now as I think that will shift my focus :)
