Hi, it’s normal to feel alone during pregnancy, even when our spouse are physically there but not providing enough emotional support. You’ve mentioned that there’s a change in your work environment and colleagues so I guess it takes time to get used to it regardless pregnant or not.
Try talking to your spouse, plan activities and dates beforehand. Find something you like to do, shopping, chasing dramas, pamper me time, go for it. Keep yourself occupied with stuffs you like to do so you won’t have time to overthink.
Sometimes, we tend to be able to open up more to a stranger rather than our friends and families cause we don’t know them and not afraid that they will judge our situation or what. Even if they do, we don’t know them anyways. You can join mummy support groups, find mummies that are around your stage of pregnancy or even better, mummies who stay near you which you can meet up and hang out for a girls date. Guys will never understand the pregnancy be it how hands on or supportive they are because they will never experience being pregnant, going thru all the hormones and emotional changes.
Hope you get thru this!
