Celebrating pregnancy alone

I’ve just announced I’m pregnant with my second. Neither me or my partner have any family, I’ve told my close friends and non of them seem that bothered. I’m not expecting anyone to be over the moon as me, but I thought they may have shared in the excitement or asked questions. All I’ve had is a sort congrats and nothings been mentioned since. I just feel very lonely and was hoping to experience the joys of my second with friends, planning baby showers, discussing names (I do this with my partner obvs) but just thought my close friends would have wanted to be more involved. I know everyone has their own lives. I’m always there for them, celebrating their achievements and milestones but I just feel no one is interested in my life and it makes me want to not discuss anything about baby with them, especially if they’re not interested… I feel sad.

Show your support

Hello. I'm sending you lots of positive thoughts. I'm here if you need to chat. Unfortunately the best moments of our lives show us who really wants to be apart of ours xxx

I'm so sorry, that hurts so bad. Two of my best friends treated me really badly during/after the birth of my second, it breaks my heart. Same here, no family around. Where are you based? If you happen to be in Berlin, Germany, I'd love to celebrate with you as you deserve! If not, I'm sending big hugs from afar!

Congratulations on your second baby 🍼🎉🎉

I'm due my second baby any time, and honestly I've felt like friends are less excited about this baby than they were with my first. He was born during covid so I was determined this pregnancy would be more "normal" and it has been but until the last few weeks, I've felt like people are less bothered this time. Both of our families are excited which is great but friends have been less so. It does hurt

That is sad, it's really hard when you're there for everyone else but it's bit reciprocated. But massive congratulations from all of us here!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS🥰

Thank you everyone. This has meant a lot - it’s made me cry. I’m sorry to hear that’s it’s not just me. Sending so much love back to everyone 🫶🫶🫶
