Feeling lonely…

Hey guys! Has anyone else felt lonely during pregnancy? I feel like nobody wants to hang out with me anymore because I can’t drink or party. I feel like I have no one except my boyfriend and I still feel lonely when I’m not with him. I just don’t know what to do about this because I know once my baby comes it will be worse for me. Any advice mamas?

It’s really a shitty feeling. Luckily I wasn’t big into partying anyways before getting pregnant but it is a huge adjustment when your friends aren’t in the same stage. I’m close to Guelph so feel free to message me! I don’t have babies anymore but I remember what it was like ☺️

@Samantha thank you 😊 will keep in mind love

Girl, I completely understand how you been feeling. It’s weird because even when I’m with my boyfriend I still feel lonely and maybe that’s because he’s a man and he just doesn’t understand a lot of the things I go through as a women. On top of that I have no friends and it’s literally for the same reason because I don’t smoke or drink 🤦🏽‍♀️ i think that the best thing to do when you feel really lonely is try to do something that makes you happy and motivated. I know that’s kinda challenge in itself sometimes but it’s worth it in the end. Do your makeup. Go get a journal and write about your goals, or things that interest you , creat a new dream board on Pinterest haha. I know that it can be hard being lonely girl but sometimes all we got is ourselves and maybe that’s just enough. You’re strong! I know you got this 🩷

I understand that feeling. My best friend ended our friendship over something dumb a few weeks after finding out I was pregnant and I don't have any other friends. When my fiance hangs out with his friends I get pretty lonely too. This app has helped a tiny bit where I might have made a new friend!

@Ryenne felt my best friend and I had to stop being friends because I realized we were in two different chapters in life and she was doing some shady things behind my back.

Honestly, a lot of it is just because it's a new stage of life for you that your other friends can't relate to if they don't have or want kids. It's a hard transition, but your true friends, regardless of having a baby will stay by you.

@Savannah and you’re exactly right!

Hey lovely, I’m currently sitting in my nursery at 21weeks pregnant balling my eyes out. As I have no family around, live alone, and bubs father left when I got pregnant. I understand the pain of loneliness, it’s mentally exhausting and draining. But you have a little one inside you that loves you so much more than you could ever imagine. You have a partner around. And hopefully some family. Maybe reach out on Facebook to see if there’s mum groups etc. take up a new hobby. It will get better ❤️

Hey there, I’m almost 5 months PP. During pregnancy I felt lonely. Every pregnancy is different so when you meet other pregnant women they are going through their own experience and then those that are not pregnant don’t understand what you’re going through, so it can be quite isolating. I also found my friendships changed with some for the worse, but I see this as an opportunity to find out who my true friends are. But the irony in all of this is that you’re never alone, you have a living being growing inside of you. Use this time to bond with your baby. Read books and play music to the baby. Do activities you may enjoy. I chose to do paint by numbers and those portraits are now part of the baby’s room. ❤️

@Lainey that's kind of how ours were but she added more drama lol. Even though I'm lonely things are so much more peaceful now plus it motivates me to get more done around the house when I have absolutely nothing to do and no one to see!
