Anyone else finding this a lonely experience?? Short cervix and cerclage
Has anyone else felt this pregnancy journey with shortened cervix to feel lonely? This is my second pregnancy, which in itself feels more lonely. With my first pregnancy I found that even though everyone’s physical experience and life circumstances were different, you could usually compare and contrast experiences and relate to each other. This feels so different and honestly it feels like people don’t get it. I know that everyone means so well. But I am finding comments meant to be reassuring are devalidating this really hard and scary experience. For example, about my physical restrictions, “nobody likes to be limited or told what they can and can’t do” or comparing how I have had to cancel all my summer plans to stay close to a hospital that could provide my baby with the level of care they would need, should they come early, to missing an event they were looking forward to because they wanted to sleep in and test drive cars but their daughter got a fever. I don’t know anyone in my life who has had a similar experience to mine. I would love to hear from other people in a similar boat to me. Thanks in advance for sharing :)
