Reduced Excitement?

In the beginning, everyone was so excited. Calls, messages like"How are you feeling? Have you had a scan? What are you craving?" It felt like I had a whole support system cheering me on. But lately? Silence. It’s like people think pregnancy is only interesting in the first few months. Now, I bring up baby stuff, and the conversation shifts quickly. Even when I share updates, I get a simple “That’s nice” instead of the excitement from before. I know people have their lives, and I don’t expect constant attention, but it feels weird. I’m still pregnant. I’m still going through changes. I still need support! Has anyone else noticed this? That the excitement kind of dies down as the months go by? Or is it just me?

Show your support

Even more so when its your second baby! 😂

@Kirsty Exactly 😂 it’s my second

Wait until your second baby lol.

I know the feeling, every update I send to my family, I only get a 👍 or most of the time get ignored. This is my first and the first grandchild of the family.

@Becky I’m the exact same with my family… first child and first grandchild and it’s like we don’t even exist anymore 😬

@Caitlyn it’s really surprised me as my parents were nagging, saying when are any of you (I’m the youngest of 3) going to give us grandchildren. And when it happens nothing. It makes me so sad at times, but I bet they will be all over my boy when he’s here but not me. I don’t think so! Says a lot how people treat you when you’re going through this big change in life!

Try to join a prenatal group that's at the same stage roughly as you.. my second was hardly any excitement either but I found that finding people making friends with people going theough the same life stages at your or time in pregnacy really helps and gives you people to talk to who are interested because they want to share too 😀

Yeppppp!!

Yeaaap! Totally getting that too 😆

I told my mum I’m going for my 20 week scan next week and she just relied ok.
