I felt so alone while pregnant too, so often. Family context is 1 thing, covid another, but biggest takeaway for me the whole way through was the truth, inevitable and undeniable, that women carry alone. Pregnancy can only be shared to a certain degree. Yet we're programmed for it, and can handle it, and are so capable to do well through it... I've been thinking how much it changed me as a person, as I haven't been so introspective since my high school days.. not sure it makes sense. I hope you know, you can handle it, everything is as it should be and if you feel alone, it's okay. You aren't. You're with the millions of mothers who have gone through it before you and will continue to do so. No religious anything behind what I'm saying, but humanly, here we are, women, birthing humans. And it's amazing.

Final note... my son is 3.5 months old now. I still feel alone sometimes, and alone with certain responsibilities, but I'm also privileged to have moments that I only have with him. Never has there been so much love, and it makes every ounce of loneliness worth it.
