Lonely
Anyone else feeling lonely?
Not at the scan point of telling everyone but feeling retched so having to hide away. Low energy, feeling light headed and retching at the sight of food.
My friend was laughing at me not being able to string a sentence together and just feeling so lonely whilst everyone meets up. I am such an independent person who loves being active and I can’t go to the gym, paddleboarding, surfing with friends. Got mega fomo atm.
I get it will be worth it but so far hating this isolation. I can’t even calm myself down with doing in the jacuzzi/ steam room at the gym 😭

I felt lonely too, I get it. My partner is military and away Sunday-Thursday for work so being unwell, pregnant at home alone and working full time as if everything was normal really mentally affected me. We had told our parents but it didn’t really help me so we decided to tell a few friends so it felt like less of a secret weight to carry around
I feel really lonely actually….

I know it isn't the 'norm' but I'm so thankful my husband and I told people so early (around 5 weeks haha). We were so excited but also wanted people to be part of our journey, however it ended. And I'm so grateful we did because I'm also finding it really rough. I've spent 90% of the last few weeks in bed, on antisickness medication and having to cancel social and work things. It has been so much tougher than expected and having people to message and share symptoms with has been so needed. Also to support my husband as he helps care for me and worries about me. If I were you I would reach out to people and let them know what's going on. I know it might not be how you planned announcing, but it's far more important to be supported and in a good place mentally for you and your little family 🫂
