So I’ll start off with the fact I work in a salon and I’ve worked here for 2 years, almost everyone woman in there has had at least one child. I’m currently the only one pregnant (with my first) and the most recent other than me has a 2.5 year old.

Anyways, idk if it’s hormones (I’m nearly 14 weeks) or what, but lately I’ve felt very alone/separated. My boyfriend does his best to help me feel better but idk, I felt like being around women who’ve experienced pregnancy would be more understanding or sympathetic. I haven’t had a lot of problems honestly, no real morning sickness or anything but I’ve been exhausted and therefore working less. I work 5-6 days a week but I’ve just been coming in for shorter hours and taking more breaks (I make my own schedule).

But I feel like they’ve been aggravated with me for sitting and not constantly up cleaning or just staying busy. I recently had a subchorionic hematoma, I’m pretty sure it’s healed now but that also had me slow down and take it easy. But today we had a meeting and I felt really put on the spot about not being up and active.

So far no one has mentioned anything about the shorter hours but you can definitely feel tension when I’m leaving. I always ask if there’s anything I can do before I go and generally they say no, but idk maybe I’m just being crazy and hormonal.

And the last thing I’ll mention is that Ik that no one is as excited about this pregnancy as I am, I accept that, but whenever I speak about it, or about how I’ve noticed my belly growing they just kinda say “oh cool” and move on.. like I’m not expecting them to jump up and down..I just assumed they’d be a tad more enthusiastic?

I’m not trying to be whiny or anything, I honestly just needed to vent
