Feeling lonely in pregnancy and unsupported after previous pregnancy losses

[AP2491]

Does anyone feel lonely during pregnancy ? And feel like nobody really cares or is happy for you that you are having a baby ? This inspite of everyone being fully aware of your previous pregnancy losses.

I think pregnancy can feel quite lonely even when you are surrounded by people. I felt a bit lonely in my pregnancies just in that I am a bit of a worrier and even though I had great support from my husband/family/friends so I was never actually physically lonely, I did often feel alone in the sense I didn’t think anyone really understood exactly how I felt.

I never felt that nobody cared or was happy for me but then I suppose I didn’t really have any expectations of people in that way? Obviously my husband cared and was happy and invested in the pregnancy, asking how I was, how appointments went and when they were, attended scans with my etc but beyond that I never expected family/friends to provide any of that, pregnancy isn’t as exciting to others as it is to the parents which is totally normal. Why do you feel nobody cares or is happy for you?
