Fear of being alone
This might sound daft but I've recently developed a fear of being left on my own for full days. My husband went away last week and I didn't cope well at all. He went out for the day today and I'm proud of how well I managed, but it was a conscious effort to divide the day into segments to get through.
I never used to be clingy so this is weird for me. Assuming it's a pregnancy related thing.
Has anyone else felt the same??

My partner goes away a lot for work, and will be away the whole of June. I’ve been really emotional by the end of the day on days he’s been gone. I’ve come to the conclusion on days he isn’t here I NEED to have plans of what I’m going to do. Even if it’s go for a walk, go and do a food shop, go see a friend, paint my nails, wash the babies clothes, watch the new series of Bridgerton. I think when I just stay in all day I then get a fear of going out by the end of the day and it messes with my emotions! X
@Rhia Agree! Keeping busy is the best way to get through it. Make plans with friends/family or fill your day with errands or selfcare ❤️

Ive lived alone for the past 2 years and hubby stays one night at a time. So the extremities in our feelings are different but I must admit, the closer to our due date, the more I want him round and close by. May be a natural “nesting” thing to not want to be alone and needing hubby close by? I know a friend felt the same closer to her due date too x
