[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]and take this as a warning, Op, that you really need to be making more of an effort to make friends[/quote]

OP here. OMG you guys are seriously crazy. I moved to a new state 2 weeks ago. I am getting shit on because I don't have friends and apparently it's no big deal to give birth alone. Wow. Thanks so much for the advice. [/quote]

You are the one who decided to move while 8 or 9 months pregnant.  We aren’t the bad ones for pointing out that you e put yourself in a pretty bad situation. Either make friends, fly a family member in, or hire a babysitter.  You asked, why shoot the messenger?  (Also, insane pregnant people are the WORST!)[/quote]

Yeah OP is definitely the insane one on this thread...uh huh.

I moved at 8 months pregnant with my first and am likely to move at 4-6 months with my second. Sometimes life is complicated and there are not ideal choices, especially in an area like this with so many transplants. We have family about 1.5 hours away we could ask for help if we have enough time and warning, but births don't always go that way, and that is a BIG ask for new neighborhood friends, I wouldn't do it. Can we admit this can be a tough problem worth considering alternatives and not insult OP for not having a perfect life with a perfect local support system? [/quote]

OP here. I have no idea where people are getting that I moved at 8 months pregnant. I am only 4 months. [/quote]
