Lonely =/

So, I'm 28 weeks with #4 and have just started preparing for her arrival. I'm happy and sad at the same time. I'm happy to be able to experience this one last time with my husband (This being his first child) and sad because my youngest is almost 7 and I'm starting all over again. I've just got so many emotions (don't we all? Haha) I've become lonely since realizing and removing several people from my life that I feel are toxic to themselves and others. The most important being my cousin whom used to be my best friend, my sister, and most sad of all, my mother. Sadly, I've had a horrible pregnancy and nobody to really confide in (other than my wonderful, tolerant, and loving husband) I miss having someone I could talk to and sadly I can't seem to find anyone new to make a connection with. Maybe someone else can relate??

My son will be 11 by the time baby girl arrives so I know how you're feeling about starting over.  This will be my fiance's first. Don't worry too much about friends and people to talk to eventually all of that will change.  You could meet other moms while you're in hospital or even at doctor appointments maybe sign up for child birth classes just to meet others.

I'm not down about the baby, My husband and I planned this pregnancy. Just down about no one to talk to other than my husband about things that are on my mind or to share news of my pregnancy good or bad. Just a friend would be nice, ya know?

Well I can relate a lil my son is 7 and now I have to start all over lol but I wouldn't change it for the world and I don't have much of a relationship with my mom but sometimes you gotta think positively never mind who isn't in your corner and just appreciate who is. Try not to be so down you have a blessing on the way n that's all that matters right now. Hope that helped take care n congrats
