It takes a village .. but i dont have one

My husband and I are expecting out first this winter. Its been a very isolating and lonely pregnancy so far. My husband’s work requires him to leave town on a regular basis. My family is in another country and will occasionally call and ask if we are okay. My MIL lives 30 mins away but is not involved in my husband’s life or mine and is not really a “loving caring” mother. His sister is also 20mins away but has her own kids and my MIL takes care of them and helps her and makes it clear that she prefers them over any other child in the family.

Since they found out im pregnant, they have not once asked if im okay or if i need help, have not shown any support or offered to be there. I had a miscarriage last year and no one showed up or called me. I had to go through everything on my own. Now that our baby is almost here, i feel overwhelmed and stressed. I really dont know how i will survive post-birth, especially if i end up having a C-Section. My husband will take a couple of weeks off to be there for me and baby.

But i have so many questions in my head…

Do new moms really need a village? Can i do it on my own?

Any advice helps 💔😢
