hi all im 20yrs old and 18 weeks pregnant, prior to this pregnancy i had a m/c and i feel anxious and worried sick about everything. im just sitting in every night myself or at work that is in a physically violent unit with older folks ive lost count of the times ive nearly been kicked in the stomach and my work takes no notice. i have a bf but he seems more concerned with living it up with his friends in the pubs each night, telling everyone hes going to be a dad than spending any time together or being there when i need him. i do suffer from depression and i have meds for that.
is it normal to feel really down and alone i dont know if im just being stupid or not just feel very alone

Girl, I know just how you feel! I had such a horrible time with my last pregnancy because I just felt so alone. It helps to surround yourself with people who DO want to shower you with attention like a womanly mentor who can guide you through your pregancy. Try to comprimise with your boyfriend. He can go out with his buddies and have a good time SOMETIMES but most of the time he needs to be with you and having a good time with you! Even though you are pregnant it doesn't mean YOU can't go out and have some fun. Set aside a date night for you and your BF every week.
And as far as your work goes, can you go to a different section of the company where you won't be around the violent folks? I was pregnant and working with autistic high school kids but when one of them bit me, they moved me to a different school with kids who had learning disabilities.
I am so sorry to hear that about your boyfriend. It is perfectly normal to feel that way during pregnancy. Every woman is different and how their body reacts to pregnancy. Some are calm and easy going. Some are highly depressive and need to take medication and some are emotional, occasionally depressed and worries.
Now, if it gets to the point where you want to physically hurt yourself or your baby. Get help quick. That's not normal. I felt very very alone when I was pregnant. . . I had so much support from my husband, but every once in awhile I just felt alone. Like he just didn't understand it made me so upset. Sounds like your boyfriend needs a wake up call personally.
He needs to get his act together. There is not just any baby coming. His. He needs to get ready for that. If he's already spending lots of time away from you when you need him. Then that will only intensify once the baby is born. Goodluck dear and congratulations!
Ahhh... Pregnancy can be the most wonderful and lonely time of your life! It really does sound like your hormones, emotions, and depression are all playing a role in how your feeling right now. Just try to take it easy, your already past the first trimester which is when most miscarriages occur.
Dont be so hard on yourself. You become extra sensitive when you are pregnant it's the raging hormons. You could find your self upset or crying for the silliest little things. Just try to stay focus and let Your BF know that you reallt need him around more . and that it will make you feel better. take care have a safe preg...Dont worry too much
I think its a little of both. And about your work not taking notice. i say change jobs your baby safety is priority. If your boyfriend is more concerned with drinking and being at the pubs then dump him. I know that might be harsh but you need someone there for you. Talk to your parents, friends, and your talking about your emotional situation. Hope this helps.
I think is your hormones, I was the same age as you with my baby and did feel lonely but at the same time I would feel her move and would get happy that soon, very soon she would be in my arms.
You should start thinking the same, once baby is home your boyfriend will start getting on your nerves because he is going to be home all the time with you and the baby. Congrats!!!
I also think you should change jobs, baby comes first.
probably is a little of both, i have them both and i feel all alone all the time, even though i know that i am not. i feel that no one wants me even though i have a wonderful man. so i think you'll be fine talk to your doctor about possibly getting some depression pills for it. you'll be fine.
