I’m currently no contact with my family. I’m pregnant with my first and there isn’t a way to repair or mend the relationships and has been like this for 5 years. I’m having my first child and am incredibly anxious about the “takes a village” stance. it’s just me and my husband I don’t have much reliable friends no o...

I know it says it’s very common during pregnancy, but I don’t remember feeling this alone when I was pregnant with my angel baby. I love my husband and know he will be a great dad but I feel a lot of times I’m on this journey by myself. I’m doing my best to not take it out on him but then I worry baby is feeling the...

How do you not end up bitter or hateful. The more I realize that I’m on my own and every vacation, date, and weekend will be with my kids the more I hate the world and my family. How do I not become an angry person? Don’t get me wrong my kids are my world but I didn’t know having them meant I would never get an alon...

Hey, does anyone else find mat leave really lonely? Now my baby's not newborn anymore none of my friends seem interested in seeing us. I've been to baby groups and I find people just keep themselves to themselves. I've tried meeting up with others off here to no avail except one lovely girl who I'm good friends with...

Sorry for the long post. I feel so lonely since my 5th month has started. I moved to the country 3 years ago, I have no family nor friends here. I kept crying the entire last two weeks, now I have diverted my mind. But I can't digest the feeling that I have literally no one especially missing my mom deeply around ...

It’s so exhausting & lonely at times

Fellow mummies and mummies to be… I’m not single, not by choice, how on earth do you managed? It’s been just over a week and I’m finding ring pregnant and the idea of being a single mum so overwhelming! I’m 15w2d.

Hey everyone, I’m 9 months PP and I’m just struggling so hard with self love and just any kind of acknowledgement to myself. I struggle a lot with comparing myself to other people and it strips away any feeling I have about the good things about me. I’m always focused on making sure my son is okay, new clothes, happ...

Anyone else at 3 months pp? I know I love my baby but I just don’t feel that connection. I also feel very distant from my partner but that has always been the case since we’ve had a lot of issues between us.

We go outside everyday, I try to do new activities, I just can’t find my grove, I feel like I’m exhausted, and unhappy. I don’t have mom friends and I feel alone. I’m sure everyone goes through this, does anyone have any advice to be happy and feel fulfilled?

Is anyone else finding maternity leave so incredibly lonely? My partner works 10-15 hour shifts 7 days a week with every 2nd weekend off and I have 0 friends so 90% of the time it’s just me and little boy

Hey mamas. It’s been a long time since I posted in here, but I’m curious if anyone else’s baby is developmentally behind? I keep seeing all these moms posting about how “advanced” their baby is and I feel very insecure if I’m honest. My son is 8m and is just now getting the skills of a 6m old. I’m honestly looking f...

like do you try to be the change you wish to see? or do you just like to talk?

I feel totally lost, I don’t recognise who I am anymore. The way I dress, the things I enjoy doing, it’s all changed so fast and I don’t know how to re discover who I am and learn the new me. Do you ladies have any tips to help find your new style, and re discover yourself post baby? It’s taking such a toll on me ...

Feeling so alone during my pregnancy because I’ve been left to do it solo. How do you manage to get through? 😞

Anyone else find motherhood obviously so rewarding but also so lonely? I'm an older mom so I feel like most of my friends have older kids and can't relate to where i am now with an 8 month old. I'm going to baby groups but while it's lovely meeting other moms it can be hard to build friendships when life is so busy ...

Any one else dreading their partner going back to work. I feel like I’ve got no next to no mum friend to speak to and meet up with. It feels even more lonely now being a mum of two.
