Pregnancy

[ttc2603]

Anyone else feel so alone during pregnancy? I feel so sick and so unwell and it's like anytime I talk to anyone they don't understand and kinds just say well it's pregnancy for you. Which I know it's pregnancy and it's to be expected but it's really starting to affect me. It's starting to make me angry and emotional because I don't feel understood. Anyone have any tips on who to talk to or how to stop feeling so angry and emotional all the time please. Thanks

I'm sorry you feel alone it's an awful thing to be going through especially when everyone tells you it's not how you should be feeling. I felt like this through all my pregnancy's because they are tough! I don't care what anyone else says it's all bull pregnancy isn't always magical as everyone makes out it sucks! You feel drained and tired and throw up and feel like you've completely lost yourself it's totally normal to feel like this. How far along are you?

I did at the start, I actually just laid in a dark room for the first 3 months and only left when I had to be sick or be somewhere. It was a very depressing time. How far along are you? My mental health improved as my pregnancies continued. I hope you feel better soon

That's what's really annoying me because it is very hard! Everyone makes out like it's so easy and I shouldn't be complaining about it which is unfair. I'm currently 10 weeks so hoping once I'm out the first trimester I might feel a bit better 🤞

That's honestly what I wanna do now it's just getting really hard, I'm sorry you felt like that also. I'm 10 weeks so I'm hoping it gets a bit better soon as I've seen 1st trimester is hard and the time u feel worst. Thankyou!!

Just do whatever it is you need to get through. It is really tough and if people don't understand that's on them! It does get better once you stop feeling sick and can taste good again without wretching but then you have to deal with getting bigger and more uncomfortable, but still better in a way!

@ttc2603 pregnancy is so rough honestly no one really talks about it which is wrong they make you feel like you should be glowing! There is no glow it's a lie I found my glow was my DC. Everyone is different snd some people feel great after 13 weeks some people don't which is totally normal either way! Please don't feel like your unusual to feel this way because it's what society tells you, I promise though as soon as your get to hold your little one it's totally worth it. Do you have any family support or a supportive partner?

*food!

That is so sad. You would expect people to understand that you're going through a lot and be supportive and compassionate with you. There is a lot of discomfort in pregnancy but it should be a happy time too as there is so much to look forward to. For the physical side of it (morning sickness, back pain and so on) there are treatments available that can help to ease the discomfort. From the social point of view, perhaps you should look for a different friends group because there is certainly nothing wrong with you and it is their reactions that aren't quite normal
