Friends?.... (cricket... cricket)

[Mrscrow1]

I don't know about you all, but I am 23 and pretty much nobody my age is having babies. So I feel like I am losing my friends and am sooooo emotional about that. I know this isn't super related but does anyone else find this process kind of lonely? Thank God for these forums.

I'm 23 and all my friends already have toddlers lol it's weird cause I feel young but I see all the girls around me and some of their kids are starting school already. It's crazy

[Mrscrow1]

You guys are awesome. Just reading this makes me feel like someone understands and I'm getting emotional... good lord...

I know exactly what you mean. I'm 34 weeks a 4 days and I've been extremely lonely the whole pregnancy. My friends are nearly nonexistent, and although I had a boyfriend, he wasn't able to be there nearly enough to keep my loneliness at bay. In fact, my pressuring about not seeing him often enough is actually what drove him away. The last two weeks (since the break up) have actually been the hardest part of all, because not only do I have no friends to turn to, but now I've lost my support system by my boyfriend ending things. I'm hoping that It's mostly just the emotional and hormonal rollercoaster that's making it so hard to cope with, hopefully It's all over when the baby is born. Just look forward to that baby coming is how I look at it, no matter what there's going to be someone who relies on you and wants your full attention. Congrats on the baby :)

Well i'm 37 and just had number 3 after a 10 year gap, and i know NOBODY at home with a baby except my younger sister! All my friends work, and their kids in high school lol! Yeah, does get pretty lonely, and nobody asks me to do anything/go out anywhere cause they assume i have a baby and its not possible.

Well I'm 22 and having my third, most my friends have one but this is my third and they don't really get it so I get really lonely. I didn't plan any of them but this one was a super surprise, I was on the depo and it failed. I'm happy and my partner is happy but I'm also scared and nervous to have three under the age of three

Im about to turn 25, 5weeks along and one of the last of my friends to have a baby so its the opposite for me!

[Mrs_Baze]

I had my first at 19, so I have felt that this whole time. Now I'm 25 and have one friend who is trying, but really no other friends my age. I am also a teacher so we sometimes do play dates with parents who are almost as old as my parents. My high school chemistry teacher has a daughter who is only like 2 years older than mine, and a son who is younger. It's a little weird when the only people I hang out with are so much older.

It looks like I might not have a position teaching this next school year, and my husband works 12 hour night shifts, so I will be home with just the baby all day until my 6 year old gets out of school. My husband will probably take a second job again if I don't have work. So yeah, I understand loneliness.

I am 26 living in a different state since nov to be w my husband. All of my family (my dad and siblings are back home) Had to give up my cats. My two sons are back home until next month. I hate my job and have been super emotional. Go to bed crying and have done it extra today. I feel very alone. :-(

[Mrscrow1]

I am a teacher too, so I am sooooo bored being outof school. I just wait for my husband to come home... its pathetic.

[Mrscrow1]

12 weeks. I had one particularly unpleasant "friend" who was really passive aggresive when I announced my pregnancy. It hurts. So I am really trying to find mommy friends.

[hutch2996]
