Struggling with second pregnancy?

I’m just looking for a bit of advice, support or anyone else in a similar situation and how you handle it? Also just a bit of getting it of my chest because I don’t know what else to do! Im struggling mentally, we have told our family’s and close friends I’m pregnant (10+2), an there’s no excitement, no nothing from anyone, I don’t know if I’m overthinking which I tend to do, but no one seems to care or bother, I get no help at the best times with my 3 year old, an now I just feel more alone then ever, “friends” I thought I had never message me or see how I am! I always reach out first. I’m emotional at the best of times but how do you deal with loneliness? I feel like I’m dealing with everything by myself an no one understands as I’m a stay at home mum an do 100% of house duties, an I don’t know, I’m confused an questioning how I’m feeling, being a bit hurt by reactions and such… An it’s been a hard pregnancy so far, my first I had nothing really but this time I’m beyond tired, falling asleep all the time, morning sickness and the pains! An people just telling me that I chose it (which yes I understand that still doesn’t make it easy to me) I’m an anxious mess, can’t get out the house a lot with just me and my son, an I’m overthinking everything about this pregnancy worries about everything, an how I’m going to deal with a newborn an my son! Is this normal?

God it feels like I wrote this 🤣 I said about no-one being excited about my second pregnancy to my partner the other day. I'm so incredibly anxious about how it's going to affect my first born having a new baby too. And just everything that comes with it. Know you're definitely not alone. And if you want to talk,I'm all ears 😊xxx

@Rose yeh it’s strange isn’t it!? Like no one talks about it, mentions it, or even asks about how it’s going and things, his family didn’t even ask how far along so they have no idea! How are you dealing with it? An yeh I’m so scared cause my sons everything to me and now I’m questioning choices and decisions because I don’t want him to feel left out and such! X

People have been the same with my second pregnant. My husband is away at the moment (in the military) so we told family very early so he could be apart of it before he left (I’d be showing by the time he comes back) no one made much of it and actually my family just started telling everyone they knew even though we told them not too because of how early I was. I now have no friends really. No one checks in on me other than my mum who helps me for about 3-4 hours a week. I also have a very busy 1 year old to look after! You’re not alone! Hopefully things get better soon x

@Ashleigh sorry to hear that. Yeh it’s strange isn’t it! Like no one gives us a second thought, or to check in on us! My mum throws little jabs at me about telling her early an I shouldn’t have, it’s like it’s not even happening, I think it’s more of a shock cause it was so different with my son! Just feels like we’re existing looking after the kids an everything else, how do you find yourself dealing with it? I’ve got an appointment soon I think for mental health about it cause I’ve struggled for ten + years but always denied it an things
