Break up whilst pregnant with 2nd

The past year has been rocky - but I never thought it would come to this. He has completely dropped me and our children. Very very little effort with our toddler and 0 acknowledgment regarding new baby.

I feel incredibly lonely. I’m 31 weeks and I’m tired, uncomfortable and my self esteem is at an all time low whilst ex is waltzing about like no care in the world, going gym and out a lot etc… I feel like I am “stuck” because I am pregnant and he knows this. He knows I can’t go out like he can so it feels like a real big kick in the teeth how he can just act like we didn’t even exist!

it’s been 2 months and I cannot shift this sadness and loneliness. I’ve talked to family/close friends but I can only say so much.. when will I feel better ☹️

I'm sorry you are going through such a tough time emotionally while you're pregnant. You're right - it is completely unfair that he's just waltzed off and left you quite literally holding the babies.

Have you spoken with your midwife about your relationship breakdown? I would ask for a referral to the perinatal mental health team, they are usually (comparatively) well resourced and everyone I know who has had contact with them sings their praises. They may be able to help you through the next few months and also signpost you to other sources of support as well.

Be honest with your friends and family

They will want to help you.

Are you married? What is your housing situation?
