Anyone feeling lonely already?
So I've heard pregnancy can be a lonely time for women; and now I'm believing it more than ever. Anyone else?
I got laid off not too long before I got pregnant, and now with the insane morning sickness (all day), I don't think I would keep a new job. I'm 24, so fairly young, and none of my friends are in an even similar situation to me. They're single, drinkers, and not anywhere near settling down. I feel like the texts are fewer and the invites are non existent. I get it, where would I fit in in that scene?
On top of it though, ever since I got pregnant I feel like my man forgot I'm his fiancée and now just sees me as baby grower. I'm sitting around the house a lot, often sick, and when I'm not I get stir crazy. I go out for walks by myself and try to relax. I suggested cheap or free dates since we did just buy a home and trying to save for baby, like icecream date or going to the waterfalls, but that was a long time ago... and nothing. I keep mentioning and hinting but he doesn't seem interested.
He comes home and sits on his PC and plays games mostly. I understand he is working and supporting me, and I am grateful for that. But I miss feeling wanted. Romanced. Sometimes he makes me feel a bit guilty for not having a sex drive, which comes down mostly to nausea, but I also don't really want to hop into bed with him when he doesn't even seem interested in going out with me... I wouldn't mind a bit of romance first, you know?
Are there any other expectant mamas out there feeling this way? What can I do to get him to want to take me out on a special occasion without nagging or hinting?
I've been having a hard time w/ this pregnancy, I just want to get dressed up and feel pretty and attractive still. Am I overreacting? I get scared because I'm only 3 months along and will this just get worse as I get bigger? Will he ignore me even more when the baby is here?
Any advice is appreciated 😞
