I’ve watched many friends have babies and also be upset about the loneliness, just getting dropped by everyone around you, etc. I anticipated I’ll lose people and I accepted that but I didn’t think it’d be quite this lonely?

Not one person has messaged to check whether I’m okay or how the bump is doing, no one that used to message me or ask to hang out does anymore. I can’t sit here any cry about it as of course I made this choice and it was bound to happen but it’s shocking how little people want “that” pregnant friend or mum to be in their lives. We’re humans too.
