Ok so I know there are worse situations to be in and I'm lucky to have a wonderful hubby who is very sweet, caring (and tolerant lol) but it's really getting me down having no other support.
I live in the US so have no family or friends here (not long moved) and am 35 weeks. I have in laws who are absolutely no help at all.
I know that it's my baby, nobody is obliged to help and I'm lucky to have dh but sometimes it really gets me down that not one person has offered a single bit of support, either emotionally or just asking if they can help walk our dog (sodding great 60 pound puppy who I can't manage anymore.) My in laws live less than five minutes away so even calling up and asking me over for a cup of tea would be appreciated.
I'm feeling in turns very lonely and weepy then really annoyed as I know when the baby is born everyone will be around constantly and want to be involved. It's childish but I'm feeling like I don't want them around immediately as they've shown absolutely NO interest throughout the whole pregnancy.
I guess it's worst as this is my first and REALLY miss my Mum (who'd have seen that one coming?!). I really wish I'd known how much friends and family matter and gone back to the UK to do this pregnancy.
Anyone else had a baby away from home or had a total lack of support?
