Communication

Hey guys, I’m getting extremely worried and don’t know if it’s hormones or my existing mental health issues causing the overthinking/ stress. But has anyone felt super lonely and like you always have to reach out if there’s going to be any communication between someone- especially between my partners family. I’m fine with being the only person reaching out. But it’s just it’s hurting my feelings when I’m being asked about behind my back. And it’s going to hurt my feelings when people expect to be around me and the baby when she’s born or want updates from the hospital when they’ve not sent one check in message the whole pregnancy. This pregnancy is also my rainbow baby following a second trimester loss so it’s been super hard for me as well.

I have mental health issues and I feel the exact same I could have wrote what u did. Must be our hormones xx

Same. I think we notice peoples behaviour more now we are caring for our baby and are sensitive . I read a saying that don’t expect to hold the baby if you didn’t hold the mother. I’ve been ghosted and ignored and I certainly don’t want those people touching my baby

@Tiffany I feel the exact same way, but like they ask my partner how I am, but they don’t message me so I just feel lonely or just a vessel for their grandchild. But can’t cut them out because “family” I don’t know what to do 🥲

I’ve seen some strange AF behaviour from people since I’ve been pregnant and unfortunately people will show you their true colours over time one way or another and there is nothing we can do. Our priority right now is enjoying the blessing of our pregnancy and not allowing outside factors to ruin it or take this moment away from us.

Same!! Its so hard, some of my closest friends havent reached out much at all, and I find it hard to let them in on my life and the baby. Even though they dont know much about pregnancy... And then they get really excited with baby fever to meet up when hes here and do lots of stuff together, but Im not going to if they have only reached out like twice the entire pregnancy! But it is hard to just cut them out of my life... I have come to acceptation that people will just be in a different stage of life, and that thats no ones fault. Sometimes people grow apart...
