Feeling lonely

I hear you sister. Happy to chat I’m due end of June x

I’m so sorry you’re struggling with this. I think a lot of people empathize with how you’re feeling, family dynamics are odd at the best of times and when we are going through such a massive change its hard to keep the smiley face on. There are so many people that I’m trying to learn to lean on in place of family, and whilst it’s beautiful that we can make these connections I feel jealous of people that have that family support! Sending a hug, you’re not alone xxxxxxx

Thank you! I think it's more that I'm constantly hearing little comments from my sister about what I should and shouldn't do, like it's daunting being a first time mum as it is without people telling me what to do before baby is even here x

This must be so difficult and I'm really sorry you're feeling that way. So hard to navigate this and feel like no-one is quite understanding you or supporting you but rest assured there are so many women on here who know exactly how you feel so you are not alone in that. Pleased that you are feeling supported by your partner though, and do you have a friend who might be open to listening to how you feel? And maybe signing up for nct/bump and baby so you can keep building the network of supportive and understanding people around you. Doesn't take away the feeling of disappointment with family, but might still be helpful. It's a big thing to be going through and you deserve to be heard and understood xx

Yeah I have a best friend I can speak to about this Im just not sure if she will understand because it's like I'm alone but not alone ever because I'm carrying my baby but I'm just struggling with the likes of my mum & everyone being around my sister but there doesn't seem to be once concern for me x
