Feelings of isolation

[heybabya]

I've been feeling this way for a while. For some reason anytime I am left alone I feel totally isolated and generally down in the dumps. It's a really strange sensation for me because I'm an only child and I used to relish my alone time. Since I've been pregnant I hate it. I feel like I just need company all the time to take my mind off the low feelings. I'm fine when my hubby is home or when family visits or I'm at work..But when I'm alone I get sad and I don't want to do anything and I get depressed about the fact I'm pregnant and larger and find it harder to do stuff. So I just sit and mope.

I can't wait to stop work next week as I'm exhausted getting up and working 9 hours a day but now I'm terrified at the prospect of having nothing to do. I also keep worrying that I will still feel this way when baby is here and I'll not have the willpower to want to do anything.

I am a middle child who grew up in a 3 bed terrace so never had alone time and gave always felt the way you describe when alone. I combat it by keeping busy and sticking to a routine so I don't have to 'think if something to do'. I have dogs too who keep me company.

Rest assured, you wont have time to feel lonely when the baby arrives. If thereare any jobs around tthehhouse thathave been on ttheback burner, do them nnow to fill your time and reap the rewards as there wont be time when the baby is here.

Also, I hated being pregnant which made me glum but all those feelings went away straight after labour for me.

I feel the same way!! And cant wait till OH gets home in an evening!!! Getting worse now closer to due date. But hope my independence will return once baby is here x

I know that some women become clingy during labour so I think it makes sense that this would kick in during tri 3. I don't mind being in the house by myself but I do have 3 dogs so never feel alone and I'm an only child too. However, if I need to go out anywhere I make excuses so that DH has to come with me for company so I obviously have some element of this too x
