Has anyone ever been alone during labor? Husband won't be able to go as of right now since he has to work. I still got time but either way I less things change financially I'll be alone in the hospital.

I don’t know what to do and don’t have anyone to talk to I’m absolutely heart broken from things I’ve seen over my pregnancy and after on my partners phone. I just feel like I’m not enough and hate the way I look after seeing her had half naked girls pictures saved and in contact with exs about missing them and abo...

My anxiety has gotten so bad to the point my body is starting to hurt. My muscles in my arms and back feel so weak and sore I feel like I’m constantly shaking due to living in a toxic household. I really don’t want to go on medication (I was on it in the past) but I feel like I’m at my whitts end with how to feel ok.

Has anyone found people have almost disappeared/avoided you after a miscarriage? I have a really close friend who I would see multiple times a week. She’s pregnant (we were about 5 weeks apart) and I feel like she’s almost avoiding me. Has anyone else experienced this? Finding it really difficult. I completely u...

It’s my daughter’s first birthday and it’s never been so lonely as have not made much friends and even play dates etc and for some reason I feel like left out even after doing a shoot and cake drinks etc

I’m just looking for a bit of advice, support or anyone else in a similar situation and how you handle it? Also just a bit of getting it of my chest because I don’t know what else to do! Im struggling mentally, we have told our family’s and close friends I’m pregnant (10+2), an there’s no excitement, no nothing fr...

Is it bad that i am being distant from family while pregnant.I am almost 7months and no one really has seen me besides my mom sister and husband everyone else I distance myself from because I want to have a peaceful pregnancy and I don’t want them to feel like they can say rude stuff to me about my baby or body.What...

Does anyone else find motherhood & maternity so lonely? It’s the happiest but also saddest time of my life. Friends & family don’t seem as interested now my babies older. They only check in now and then as they feel obligated or come and visit us as a last resort if they have nothing else to do. I see other mums on ...

I am really upset that my child is pretty alone in terms of meeting other children. He has no siblings, no cousins, he doesn't go to nursery, and I don't really have any friends. We go to baby groups at least once a week where he loves playing with other children, and go to the park regularly so he can play with som...

2 days ago we found out we had a miscarriage at 6+5, it’s our first pregnancy. I’m absolutely devastated and heartbroken. People around me have been great but I feel so lonely. I feel like no one really understands, my husband is sad but not in the same way as me. I feel incredibly alone. Does anyone else feel like ...

I’m only 5 weeks post partum and yet I already feel so left out by my friends. Not even just the ones without kids, the ones with kids too which is ironic because you’d think they’d understand how lonely both pregnancy and post partum can feel… Some of my friends have all gone out tonight and decided to not invit...

No family around, no family online. No friends. How do you cope pregnancy and future?

You are a parent no matter how many hours you work. You are a parent when you leave the house to when you lay down at night. You are a parent first, always. Idc IDC IDC. I'm so unappreciated. I want a break. I need time away for myself, too. (I feel bad when i say that. Feeling that guilt makes me feel disappointe...

Looks a lovely day tomorrow but my husband is working, my friends are away camping/on holiday and I'm at a loose end. I'd love to go somewhere for the day with my LO but feel like a bit of a loner. Would you go somewhere on your own? I feel weekends are the worst as most families are off together, just feeling a bit...

I’m so tired of investing my time into the wrong people.😔

Anyone else ever want to go out somewhere but don't have the money or the car to go there? Sick of my partner, his sister and her partner NEVER answering their messages when I'm in pain and asking them to help with something, but then can't get away from them for a couple of hours because I have no way to get anywhe...

Is anyone else finding maternity leave really lonely 😩. I have had alot of family come over weekly to see me and baby (he's 6 weeks now) but not really had many friends come over, some days I literally just sit at home me and my little one and think gosh this is lonely haha. I take him out on walks on my own and…

I feel like I don’t even want to be here 😕 My husband and I are currently going through a…
