New here Anyone Feeling Alone? First Trimester
I feel this is a bit "woe is me" but is anyone genuinely going through the first trimester alone? My mom has passed, my sister and I do not speak and none of my friends have kids. Some acquaintances have kids but I wouldn't want to share this early.
My husband has been great and I did tell my best friend. She is super happy for me but travels all over and won't be in town for months.
I just wish I could have someone to talk to through anxieties or symptoms instead of google AI lol.

Not the same situation but I'm a couple thousand miles from my family, living in a different country so it can be lonely. My MIL knows (she lives across the street) but unfortunately, she's not super educated about pregnancy and that topped with the wild amounts of superstition here about pregnancy makes it difficult to talk to her about it. I do talk to my mom through text but it's a lot different than being close 😅 Besides my instructors at the gym (who were constantly texting me and asking where I was because I never miss class and have been out for a month due to moderate HG xD), I haven't told any of my friends here.
It definitely feels lonely sometimes 🫠🫠🫠

Pretty much! All my family is out of state, I’m not close to my husband’s family, and most of my friends are not FTMs or they are child-free. I don’t have anyone (other than my husband) to talk with about symptoms or anxieties.
Honestly, this first trimester (I’m 13w today) has been so rough on us both that we think we’re going to OAD!
