Lonely pregnancy

In my 3rd trimester now. Through out the pregnancy, do you guys ever feel lonely ? It’s a different kind of lonely feeling. No matter how many people are around you, you just feel lonely and like you’re in this journey by yourself. Yes, your husband is around you but sometimes they dont feel or understand what we feel or what we’re going through. To them, we women are built to be pregnant. Not thinking we are also normal human being and also a first time mom, and new to this. The people around you are more to looking forward to the delivery of the baby, but never ask about the mummy’s mental health or condition. If they are ok, if they are coping. And when baby’s born, theyre gonna claim themself as oh im the aunt oh im the grandma etc etc when they have never been there for you throughout your pregnancy. #FTM

I didn't feel lonely during pregnancy but postpartum I did get lonely feelings sometimes. suspect hormones also play a part. self care is important, take good care of yourself first and foremost. Eat well and get lots of rest. When baby pops, you're going to have less time for yourself if any at all. I also agree, sometimes husbands need to be reminded that they too have their part to play. Get your spouse involved in the process, don't allow them to use work as an excuse, especially if you too are a working mum. Take care!
