alone

[leighleighbear]

I don't think I have ever felt more alone then now. I'm currently 27 weeks pregnant and have been feeling this way for about 2 weeks. my best friend lives in another state and my husband works a lot, even on the weekends.  I don't get mad at him, because I know it's what he has to do, but I don't have anyone close to me. I don't know how to stop feeling this way. I used to be fine with doing stuff on my own, but I feel like no one even wants to do anything with me. suggestions?

I feel a lone a lot. Dh also works long hours. Our family lives in another country.  And as bad as it sound i have other small children they keep me busy but it not the same as other adult contact.  I do go to a prenantal exercise class and try to get out.  For me a lot is hormones.  So if trying to get out and talking to other expecting mom groups.  I would talk to your Dr.  Pregnancy and postpartum hormones can be very hard on some women.  Hang in there mama.   Andbdo your best to get out.  I did a prenantal yoga class just to meet over mom's with my first. However I didn't make friends with anyone till my son was 3 months old and two other moms wanted to meet up. It was slow making friends but those two women and I now have been friends for 7 yrs now.

Check and see if there's any mom groups or play groups in your community. I was ordered off work at 19 weeks and now at 36+ weeks and my husband working away it's keeping me sane going to these groups. Not only is it a great pass time, you'll also meet new people and who knows maybe even find an incredible friend in the group!! Also good because you'll meet other mommies and mommies to be and you can plan at dates for the future!

I exercise 4 to 5 times a week and try and do things to keep me busy. I'll try and get my mind of it by doing other things. I'm probably being more sensitive due to the hormones,  but I've never cried more then while being pregnant.

Why not start attending a prenatal class or exercise class for pregnant women? Then try striking up a conversation after. At the very least, it will be good preparation for labor, and maybe you will even make a good friend.

I find that this app helps me. The girls are so loving and supportive.

I'm pregnant and alone (under rough circumstances) nobody knows I'm pregnant other then family and none of them talk to me. I have no friends or anything. I'm at home and it's just me. I was struggling really bad with it but after so long I've just gotten used to it. I enjoy little things like shows I like or getting the house clean. Things like that. I started making baby blankets and finding fun things I enjoy it really helps. Focusing on the baby makes it so much easier
