lonely

[samantha_sarah]

Im 20 and almost 20 weeks preggers and im feeling so bloody lonely lol!

my mates are still clubbing etc and i can no longer join them so only speak to them via text and phones and most of them are like not interested in babies!

anyone else feeling a bit crap like me?

Oh you poor thing. I can't say I know how you feel, but I can guess a little bit. Maybe you could try to meet some other young mums-to-be, so then you have the opportunity to make some new friends who understand about being pregnant and having babies. Try a pregnancy yoga class perhaps? My friend runs yoga for pg classes, and she has made sooo many friends through doing this. Because everyone starts the class on the same day and at about the same stage in their pg, they're all in it together for and with each other.

As for your other friends who are out partying, well I am sure they still care lots about you. Why not ask to meet up for coffee sometimes, or offer to cook dinner for them so you can get together without having to do the whole clubbing scene?

Good luck! XX

I'm 15 and 18w2d and i feel so alone too. Even though my friends seem to take interest, it's nothing compared to the togetherness and understanding i feel just from this website. It's good to have personal contact with someone going through the same thing, but for me there is no one. And being so young, people look upon me with digust, and it's horrible. I can't win. I might enquire about yoga classes in my area, that's a great idea. Thanks!
Hope things look up for you soon.

Oh hun, I can't say I know how you feel, but I feel for you!

Could you not arrange a meal out with your friends? Where you don't talk about babies, you have a laugh and you just get to see them. Plus, it will hopefully make them see that you haven't changed just because you are pregnant!

You are still you, just with an extra little precious person growing inside you.

I guess I'm lucky in that a lot of my friends are older than me, and a few that are my age already have children.

Im the same hun, so ur not alone, theres alot of us out there that feel alone, but REMEMBER, the first second u hold your little baby in your arms, u are no longer alone, just keep that in ur mind xx

i felt sort of the same, but mainly before i got pregnant, all my mates went to uni, but i got a job, met OH, moved in with him etc. it doesnt bother me at all now cos i'd far rather have the life i've got.

try asking your MW about groups for young mums in your area. my health visitor mentioned them to me, tbh i'd not given them a 2nd thought cos i thought it'd be all 15/16 year olds (no offence meant to anyone), but they go up to 25.

i found at antenatal class and stuff people were sort of late 30s and looked down on me for being young, but now we've all got our babies they're completely different

hope u start to feel better soon hun xxxx
