So alone in pregnancy

I’m feeling so alone in my pregnancy.. I don’t talk to my family much especially about anything I’m feeling because it’s always due to relationship struggles and I don’t want or need any judgement from anyone.

☹️

It’s rare that I get a child free weekend but I have this weekend and today I’ve felt so low and even more depressed than usual. I have literally no friends to go out and do anything with, no one to ask or even talk to. What a great life 👌🏽

Two or three kids?

The hardest part

The hardest part about being a SAHM is when my husband gets to do stuff after work while I'm still at home cooking, cleaning, and taking care of our kids who have been acting terrible recently. It's even harder because I know I have nowhere to go or any friends to hang out with. It's so easy to fall into a depressio...

Hermit time

Has anyone else been feeling really antisocial lately? I've always been introverted but this has just been a whole new level for me. I feel like a jerk but I just have no desire to leave the house or to interact with anyone besides my husband or my cat. I just want to hibernate until this baby comes 😭

Disconnect with baby

I used to feel SO connected to my baby. However recently I just don’t. He doesn’t give me eye contact, he doesn’t smile at me as much. Other people get more smiles easier than I do. I feel so disconnected like our little bond has gone, and I’m devastated, has this happened to anyone else?
