Feeling a little lonely

Hi!!! Really excited to join the thread, seems like everyone is very nice and friendly. I was just wondering if anyone feels similar. As much as hubby, family and friends are supportive it sometimes feels like they can't really understand what you're going though 100%. Like they don't really understand some worries, don't always get the mood swings and don't go through body changes. Does anyone else feel like even the loved ones who are there for you at all times don't "really get it"?

  • Aw why do you feel lonely?
  • OMG that post my first post, for some reason erased half of it? Lol - a newbie! What I was trying to say is as much as hubby, family and friends are supportive it sometimes feels like they can't really understand what you're going though 100%. Was just wondering if anyone else feels the same
  • Yes, I feel the same about my husband. But I can't really expect him to relate either. As women we feel all the changing, good or bad, thru the whole process.
    That being said, I do understand that it's hard feeling this way. I've struggled with it myself.
  • Yeah, I'd been feeling the same way. It's just me and my DH in our home, and he'd been way more excited about his researching and hobbies instead of the pregnancy, basically ignoring me most of the time. It totally makes me jealous haha...

    I finally confided in my mom about it a couple days ago and realized she's the best person to talk to... She's been through everything I am going through right now and she is being so involved and supportive, it's awesome.

    I hope you can find someone to show you the attention and understanding you need soon!

    Couldn't agree More!!! I feel like hubby doesn't spend enough time researching pregnancy stuff, more pumped about his own interests and random facts on the Internet haha. So happy someone understands! And yes, mom is THE person. Even though it's been awhile since she experienced these type of feelings. Thank you for support!
  • Thank you so much for the reply! Feels so amazing knowing someone understands!
  • I think it also doesn't help cause your so tired. Like you wouldn't mind actually doing something with your other half or friends but your just too exhausted to actually do it. My DH works. But he's car sales and basically if someone wants to see a car he goes and he sells it. Any time of the day or evening. So I spend most evenings actually alone and I'm basically tired sick and lonely. So know what you mean. It's a bit rubbish! But this part is only supposed to last through the first trimester so hopefully I'll be able to e more out and about in a couple weeks.
  • I totally agree.  I'm in an odd situation because my mom has never been pregnant (I was adopted) and my MIL loved every second of being pregnant (no nausea, no exhaustion, nothing.)  It really helps me to talk to other pregnant women whose experiences are closer to mine.

  • I completely get it! He looks at me and doesn't understand why I can't jump out of bed orrrrr I'll go right to the bathroom to the toilet! Or anything really it's frustrating. I want to confide in my mama but, we are keeping this our little secret until 12 weeks. I'm not sure how she or my dad will react, since we aren't married to eachother my friends don't even know! So these blogs, threads, questions and answers are what is keeping me SANE for
    The most part!!!
