just sad =/

How do I tell people (friends/family members) that I want some attention without sounding like a brat? I'm 24 weeks 3 days and no one gives a flying fudge that I'm pregnant. No one has helped me plan the baby shower, no one asks how I'm feeling or how my doctor appointments go, just nothing! Everyone just quit talking to me ever since I've been pregnant. I just don't understand. I am one of the nicest people that you will ever meet/talk to..and people just walk on me like a rug. I'm so tired of crying myself to sleep every night. What do I have to do to get people to ask me how I'm feeling once in a while? Why does no one care? ='( I feel like I'm slipping into a dark place that I'll never come out of. What's going on? =(

We all have those kind of days but try and forget about everyone else you should feel special everyday no matter what you have your little baby girl to look forward to to meet her and hold her and kiss her nobody else will even matter then it ***** to not have people there for you I no how that feels and its not a good feeling at all but try to not worry about it I know for a fact they do care people all just show it differently and the 2nd baby should be just as exciting s the first and just explin it to them how you feel I don't think no matter how you say it is going to sound bratty its truly how you feel and if people love you they will completely understand.

Thank you =) My first born was the first grand child too. Everyone crowded me with him. Now I'm having a girl and it's such a big deal to me..I feel so special some days, and then there's times like this when I text people and they don't text back. I even call a few times and they never return the calls. It just gets tiring trying to reach out to everyone. And I feel like I'm wasting all of my time on planning a shower. If no one will respond to talking to me, then how do i expect them to come to a baby shower? I just want the truth =/

Awh:( im sorry to hear you feel this way. I bet people do care about you and the baby though. I suggest since they don't ask you about it start random conversations to get talking about it like maybe ask in excitement if someone wants to feel the baby move or tell them the heartbeat and how happy you were to hear the baby at the last apt or ask people what good ides for your shower would be just to start convos about it. I actually sometimes wish people would stop bugging me lol bc its my first and our familys first gc and everyone wont leave me alone about it so I hope this helps and us ladys all care about you!!:)
