I feel very alone in my pregnancy, how can I help myself stop feeling this way?
-
My boyfriend and I don't live together but I'm pregnant with our baby and he goes to the appointments with me and we see eachother every day. I have all the opportunity in the world to talk to him and I do talk when I find I have something to talk about concerning the baby and what I'm going through but I still feel alone. Is this normal? I feel like I'm the only one going through this right now. I'm only 16 weeks pregnant but I still feel very alone throughout it all. Is there any way I can help him be more involved or something so that I don't feel so alone? I'm 20 and he's 34 so there's an age gap but this is his first baby as well as my own first. I just wish I had someone else who knew what it feels like to talk to but none of my friends have been pregnant and my mother and I have a poor relationship. How can I stop feeling so alone?

Answer:
This feeling is just your hormones kicking in. You need to find someone else to talk to, or something that will keep you busy. It would be a good time to start a new hobby. I felt really down and alone with my 2nd baby, so I know where you are coming from. If you want you can email me... Good Luck to you and the new baby to be

I am married and my husband never went to one dr appointment with me because I didn't see the need for it. When you go to Lamaze or childbirth prep classes you should meet others in your position. You have to make an effort to make friends with similar interests. Go to a park where moms take their kids to play and ask them questions. The age difference may be part of it, and the pregnancy intensifies the issue.

I'm pregnant all the time...talk to me. OK seriousely...I'm a 20 year old mother of two. So I've been there. You feel alone? I would guess that that is caused from not having a female companion to call at 3am and ask, "can a baby kick feel like gas?" Then you fart and answer your own question. Sorry I just told one of my stories. I'm going to give you my email address and you talk to me whenever you feel like it OK? [email protected] I hope you feel better very soon.

It's normal! Even people who live with their boyfriends/husbands feel this way. You are the only one going through this, no matter how much your partner supports you. Honestly, you might want to talk to your doctor. It's likely it's just pregnancy hormones acting up, but some women do suffer from depression DURING pregnancy. Your doctor will be able to better assess this and decide how you can be best treated. Good luck!

Your going to have strange thoughts while your pregnant, your hormones are going to be all out of whack, drink plenty of water and make sure you don't have too low of blood sugar level, this makes people feel light headed and foggy, also if you eat too many starches you can feel this way, relax and enjoy a good book and be happy. I am a 35 Male.

You defiantly need to join some pregnant groups there are groups all over the place. Like gyms that have exercise classes for pregnant women and Lamaze classes etc. To get you bf involved take him with you to these groups and classes. Another way to get him involved is tell him you need his help to pick out a pediatrician. Lots of pediatricians will meet with you show you around their office etc. that way you have more to talk about. Also is there a reason you two arent living togeather. Maybe you should suggest that he stay at your house with you more while you are pregnant.

I felt the same way with my first pregnancy and am still kinda feeling that way with this one. I am 18 weeks pregnant and I am even married. THis is completely normal, your body is going through so many changes right now. Just take a childcare class so you can meet other preggo's. Or if you wanna email me, feel free! :) Just try and keep busy!

Go and hang out with other pregnant woman. Don't feel alone because you are not you have a baby in your tummy now and you can talk to your baby you are not alone any more your baby might not respond with word but the baby will make movements in you that won't need a response. Sorry that you are feeling this way but think about your baby he/she feels what you are feeling. Hope you have a great motherhood you won't be alone after that.
