Why do I feel so lonely

I’m 9 weeks pregnant, I don’t know if it’s because no one (apart from a couple of friends) know about me. But, I feel really alone, my symptoms are getting me down and I just don’t feel like my usual happy self. Is this normal, or do I need to talk to my midwife/ someone else?

I'm here if you need a chat. I'm 9 weeks too! But definitely talk to your midwife/doctor x

Sometimes that can happen, here if you want to talk but I definitely recommend bringing it up to your midwife also 🤍

Honey you are not alone - here for you! I had a real dip about 2 weeks ago. Pregnancy is very lonely and isolating, and you feel physically shit all the time. I have felt down since week 5, now at week 12. I am definitely not my usual happy self and struggling to find the joy in anything. It's hormones, and will pass. X

Honestly it’s normal your body is going through so many changes at the minute your emotions are high and low once more of your friends know you might feel better you can talk to your friends about it more and talk about baby will make you happy but you got to remember your doing amazing your growing your beautiful little baby and will all be worth it at the end and having symptoms darling is a good sign everything is good try and do something to get your mind focused off it for a little while I know it’s hard but I normally go for a nice hot bath or eat some chocolate just something small to make you feel a little better be kind to yourself your still early these feelings will soon go I promise you! You got this I’m always here if you need to talk about anything ❤️

Honestly pregnancy can get you feeling like that, it’s really exhausting on your body and you see everyone including you partner going about normal life while you are struggling. Your life is consumed by baby everything. It’s normal and it does pass. Speaking to people going through the same thing can really help, this app really helped me in both my pregnancies 🥰

Thank you so much to all of you, your kindness and support has been lovely and reassuring ❤️

Sorry you feel like this, but you aren't alone, it can feel very isolating and it's easy to feel like your going through it all on your own, I'm 9 weeks also and I've been so nauseous I've had to have a few weeks off work. Some days are better than others but some days are miserable. I would say speak to your midwife about how you are feeling. The first trimester is always the worst so I've been told, there's lots of lovely ladies in this group that you can talk to, you are not alone and I hope you feel better soon, hang in there it won't be like this the whole time ❤️
