Anyone else?

Anyone else shattered all the time? My little girl is constantly on the move, & I’m pretty sure she’s getting ready to drop her second nap! hubby just doesn’t understand why I’m so tired (he’s currently out for the second night & he’s been at work today🤦‍♀️)

Losing myself

Does anyone else feel like they’ve lost like their whole personality since getting pregnant? I spend most of my days trying not to cry and feel so over emotional about everything. I can’t even pick what clothes I like as I just feel so unlike me, I just want to cover up but then feel like I look awful because I have...

Is anybody else feeling lonely and missing out?

FTM with 1 week old baby and PP is hitting hard. I know I’m going through baby blues but also scared it could be PND. I used to love journalling and gaming but since baby is born I’ve not been interested in doing anything or I’m too tired. I also have this fear I’m missing out on life outside motherhood right now, i...

Anyone to talk to

Hi! I was hoping there was someone I could talk to. My husband and I are having issues and I’m starting to feel distant and I was hoping there was someone who I could talk to and vent to about it. I don’t want to be judged or anything.

Friends

Really, just looking for some friends. I stay home with my kids ages 7, 6, 4 and 10 months old. Normally, I don't go out of my comfort zone and post things like this but I've just been feeling so lonely lately and I hate it. It's taking such a toll on my mental health. If anyone wants to chat, send me a message! 🫶🏻

Feeling depressed & bored

18 wks pregnant & I feel like life is going nowhere. I used to feel happy whenever I think about my baby now I feel like even that won’t cheer me up. I want to go outside & have fun but this CA heat is killing me. Nothing seems interesting, I don’t want to read a book or scroll thru social media

No village

Those of you that don’t have a “village” how do you handle everything? I currently have two under two. No close family. The friends I do have are unreliable and flaky and my husband is an over the road tuck driver and is only home 8-10 days out of the month. Every day it’s just me and my two kids. Maybe I just nee...

Ladies, what do you do when you’ve entirely lost hope of ever being a Mum? Almost 2 years of nothing but negative tests. I met with a close friend and her baby this morning, and I drove home in tears feeling like I’ll never be a part of that world 🥺
