Pregnant and Feeling Alone: Actionable Tips for Fighting Pregnancy Loneliness
Pregnancy comes with a lot of expectations. Some pregnant women may be surprised to find that they are feeling lonely. If you are pregnant and feeling alone, know that there are many out there experiencing the same feelings. Read on to learn how to cope with being pregnant and feeling alone.
It turns out it’s completely normal to feel alone during pregnancy. Pregnancy can be a time of great joy. Some pregnant women seem to be glowing, walking around in a complete state of pregnancy bliss. But pregnancy can also be a very difficult time. It can be hard on your body, making you feel physically sick more often than you ever thought possible. Sleep can also be a struggle, even becoming nearly impossible, especially in the third trimester.
These physical changes, which are often accompanied by changes in your lifestyle, can feel isolating. If you don’t know other moms, that feeling can be even stronger. Even if your friends have children of their own or are pregnant or trying, you might still end up feeling lonely during pregnancy.

While these feelings are often normal, they may be signs of prenatal depression. While more common than you might think, depression during pregnancy isn’t something you have to endure.
Feeling alone while pregnant can begin at any point during pregnancy. Circumstances such as how you are feeling physically and emotionally play a huge role. If, for instance, you are sick in the first trimester and feeling horrible, that may trigger feelings of pregnancy loneliness.
In general, physical health can play an important role in how you’re feeling overall. If the morning sickness never seems to end, if heartburn seems a constant companion, or if sleep feels impossibly far, you are more likely to feel down.
If you are feeling down, don’t hesitate to open up to someone you trust, whether it’s your own mom or your midwife.
Pregnancy blues are closely tied to circumstances that sometimes feel out of your control. Moms-to-be who don’t have a strong support system are more at risk of feeling down. But even those who do have a support system may feel they can’t confide their worries or feelings to their family and friends. If you are feeling down, don’t hesitate to open up to someone you trust, whether it’s your own mom or your midwife. Holding in feelings, regardless of how irrational they may seem, is carrying a weight that is not necessary to bear.
There are as many reasons for feeling lonely during pregnancy as there are pregnancy experiences.
Pregnancy loneliness is caused by a variety of things. Your body is changing in ways no one else can understand unless they are also pregnant. What’s more, even those closest to you may not be able to fully understand or empathize with what you’re going through. You might feel like they don’t or can’t care enough. If you don’t have a support system, you might feel overwhelmed about being pregnant and taking care of your pre-pregnancy responsibilities at home and at work. Our individualistic culture (in contrast with a communal one) can also contribute to making you feel isolated. You may feel like you have lost your tribe or need to find a new one.
Loneliness erects an invisible wall between yourself and others. If you find yourself pregnant and lonely, know that there are ways to fight back.
There can be a fine line between feeling lonely during pregnancy and being depressed. Pay attention to how you are feeling and don’t wait to reach out.
Maybe you tried and tried for a pregnancy, and don’t understand why you’re feeling down, now that you have what you wanted.
While feelings of loneliness may come and go, depression is a persistent, gnawing feeling. It may be borne out of loneliness, but it brings new depths of discouragement. Even worse, some may feel guilty for feeling depressed. Maybe you tried and tried for a pregnancy, and don’t understand why you’re feeling down, now that you have what you wanted. These feelings of guilt can turn to silence, making the weight of depression even heavier.
First of all, if you are feeling depressed, know that you aren’t alone. Between 14 and 23 percent of pregnant women experience prenatal depression. In fact, one in four women will experience depression at some point during their lives.
Signs of depression during pregnancy include:
If you are feeling depressed, above all else, reach out and talk about it. That’s the first step toward showing yourself the self-love you deserve, especially during this time of your life. Prenatal depression may not end with delivery, making postpartum depression a real possibility.
When deciding whether to take antidepressants during pregnancy, you should carefully weigh all potential risks and benefits with your doctor. Consult with your healthcare provider to make a choice that gives the best chance for long-term health for you and your baby. As with any medication, be sure to monitor progress with your doctor or ob-gyn.
While feelings of loneliness are common, you can fight back by finding your tribe and getting the support and love you need. You are worth it.
Pregnancy can be one of the most challenging and unique times in a woman’s life. While feelings of loneliness are common, you can fight back by finding your tribe and getting the support and love you need. You are worth it.
