Anyone else lonely in first pregnancy?

[alaska748]

Sorry for slightly downbeat topic but have been feeling rather lonely and sad as of late - I’m 14 weeks with our first baby and really feel super lucky and happy that all has gone well for us so far but I have days where the excitement is overwhelmed by loneliness and feeling generally quite down.

My husband cannot work from home so is away during the day and I will be working from home for the foreseeable - I just feel very tired, and at times really lonely about going through the motions of pregnancy with no friends or family to see. My husband is incredibly supportive but I’d like to see my mum, friends or really anyone who has been through this and that just feels like it’s not possible at the moment, particularly with my family living abroad.

Wondered if anyone else has felt the same and what has helped.

Hey- I’m in exactly the same boat.

I’m 15 weeks pregnant and my partner is currently working away. I’m on my own every day and my family are 4 hours drive from here. Last week I didn’t leave the house and was feeling really down, but this week has been a bit better. I think it’s going to be up and down throughout the whole pregnancy but I know it can feel relentless at times!

I’d also be interested in knowing what other people are doing to keep occupied, and if there are any support groups available for pregnant people who are isolated.

Hope you’re okay
