Motherhood

Is anyone suddenly finding this whole motherhood and pregnancy journey really lonely? I’ve been feeling really emotional since last night like all my friends are in different stages of their life and we cannot relate so much anymore it’s like the friendship has shifted. I have a 2yr old and I love and adore him so much I feel like I get all my comfort from him but everything life whilst now being pregnant with my second baby feels so empty and lonely. Maybe it’s emotions I don’t know..

I’m almost 4 weeks pregnant with my first and I already feel pretty lonely with it. Haven’t told anybody yet as it’s too early and obviously just carrying on as normal but, yea, I’m putting it down to hormones but completely relate. Feel free to reach out to me though? ❤️

I feel exactly the same, the excitement of the first pregnancy is non-existent with this one!

People either abandon you or interfere too much I've found! It can be really lonely. Try and lean on as many people that you know care about you as you can. Maybe there are some local mum gatherings or play parks that you can become a part of? It's difficult transitioning from no babies to 1 baby, but I can imagine transitioning to 2 comes with a whole host of it's own struggles. I feel like I've matured on a different level to a lot of the friends I used to feel on par with since carrying my baby. I guess it's just a season of life but friends do come and go. Are there any local mums from this app that you can reach out to? Chances are they feel similar!

I have a 18 months boy and 6w +2 pregnant! I’m feeling the same, you just need to surround yourself by people in similar situations! Go to the local library if you have one, or local groups! I feel like friends are in and out, everyone is so busy with their own life
