Does anyone else find pregnancy lonely?

Question

I am 28 weeks with my 3rd baby and I have to say, I am finding this one hard.
I just feel quite alone on my pregnancy journey.
With my first (with my now ex husband), everyone was quite excited, interested and involved. With my second, it was my now husbands first, so he was quite involved and interested. This is now our second together and I feel like he is just, kind of, 'leaving me to it' if that makes sense??
I genuinely feel like I'm going through it by myself.
This isn't a husband bash by any stretch of the imagination! He is wonderful in every way, he works so much and hard for our family so I'm definitely not taking that away from him! 
I'm not sleeping at nights due to pregnancy discomforts, so it's just more time I'm alone and I just in general feel, well, lonely. I seem to be the only one that acknowledges the fact I'm pregnant at all and feel like I'm just always moaning about it. pregnancy is hard though, whether it's your first or 20th and I don't think people quite understand that even after your first, you still need a lot of support emotionally and physically. 
Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to see if this was just me that feels this way or if there is anyone else out there struggling too?

Answer

Right here! I feel super alone. 27 weeks and I have a 10 month old girl. None of my family, like my baby’s grandma or anyone ever try to go out of their way to text or call me to see how I’m doing or how my daughter is doing, or if they or we want to come over to see my daughter. I’m always at home, all the time, unless I take us out to do something.  
I’m exhausted

Answer

You are definitely not alone. This is my first child but its my fiancees third. My family doesn't check in and ask me how we are doing anymore. My fiancee doesn't even ask how I feel most of the time, he just makes sure I eat and complains when I cry "too much" or over "something so stupid". His dad checks on us when we go up there to see him which I'm thankful of because hes the only grandfather my son will have since my dad died when I was 8. I never thought I could feel this lonely in a time thats supposed to be so happy.

Answer

Yeah me too. This is my third but my first girl and no one really asks how we are and we haven’t really gone and bought anything for her yet. Don’t know just feel like I’m doing this alone and I sometimes even forget I’m pregnant until she kicks. 
The only one who seems to ask anything is my husbands auntie. Xxx

Answer

I am Deffinitly feeling alone. But I have also been dealing with depression with this pregnancy. I do wish he’d check in more or ask how one of the many appointments went or even just ask how big the baby should be this week.

Answer

This is my 3rd and 3rd girl. I’m grateful to be able to have wonderful babies but I can’t have but feel the same. 
Everyone is like “well at least you’ll be very prepared for another girl”

Answer

Yes. I've been feeling this exact way. My husband and I are expecting our third baby too and this baby was planned. I have never felt so lonely in my life as I do now. I've been crying alot this week and thinking about how left out and lonely I feel. It feels like nobody is excited about this baby. Our families don't ask, no one really cares. My husband works alot too and he is excited but doesn't express it as often as I'd like. It feels like at this stage all I want to talk about is baby. I'm also experiencing alot of rough pregnancy side effects, that I did not have with my other two kids. I'm sorry that your feeling this way, but take comfort knowing your not alone.

Answer

I completely feel you on this

Answer

Yep. I’m Sort of an afterthought. Just left to muddle along and no one is really excited. “Oh you’re pregnant again?” 😞🔨🔨🔨

Answer

I sort of feel ya. Its our first and i wish my husband talked about the baby more instead of me mentioning & bringing up the baby all the time. But he named the baby, i send him weekly updates and articles from the pregnancy apps & he actually reads them, he loves looking at the US pics, he came on the daycare tours, hes diligent about getting baby health insurance etc, and he’s into helping my mom with my baby shower. I just think we have different ideas on what we are each “supposed” to do and how to do it. Luckily i have had a good pregnancy so far but when i need his help with something- though hes a lil grouchy about it- he does what he needs to do. Sometimes i think i should complain more to get him to do more but im picking my battles for now. Im going to fight them when the baby comes 🤗
