First pregnancy, is it normal to feel lonely or isolated?

[Mushimushroom]

It’s my first pregnancy, and I feel rather isolated. I’m worried this feeling will get worse once baby arrives and am curious if there are any expectant mums who feel this way or have felt this way in the past?
I run a small side business from home, am quite introverted by nature, and have drifted from my local friends as I lived abroad for a few years and recently returned. Has anyone been in a similar situation?

You are not alone. It's kind of common especially if one is a SAHM. You need to think positive and focus on being healthy for the sake of your baby, and yourself.

Perhaps can get to know more friends? And talk to your hubby about it. You are welcome to pm me too if you feel lonely and wish someone to chat or even go out with.

I’m happy to be friends and chat. I’m trying to conceive. I don’t have many friends either because of my introverted nature and social anxiety, but envy those with bffs.
