I feel like I lost ALL my friends when I got pregnant.

Anyone else get the feel that there partner just wants them to be a mum nothing more? I enjoy watching football ( what a game tonight nearly had a heart attack) I want to go to the pub with my sister next Saturday to watch the next game I asked my partner to come and he said no, he also doesn't want me going... I d...

I want strangers to stop talking to me so badly. It's tons of busy body old people. Asking weird gender questions. Is your baby a boy or girl? I mean they're wearing pink. "I don't understand why your baby doesn't like me. Kids love me." They try to talk to my baby when she's crying. No one minds their own business....

Hi I’ve probably sobbed all morning feeling entirely alone and overwhelmed with no one to talk to; and even if I did none of my friends have children so they can’t relate. I’m a mother of 3; a princess who is 9; my little boy who is 3 and autistic and my tiny baby who is infact not a baby.. he’s 2😂 i think I’d be…

Last year we had a big party so people were aware of his 1st birthday and wished him happy birthday but this year not 1 of my friends remembered 💔💔 I must say 90% of my friends do not have children & are single so I wonder if that’s why. His birthday was on Thursday so I’ve gave it a few days in case they forgot…

These past couple of days has been hitting me hard. Im so overwhelmed with being a mother with little to no help. Everything is all on me and I swear to god I love my son more than the air I breathe and will do anything for him. But I have grown to hate being a mother and all the responsibilities that comes with it....

I’m pregnant with baby #2 and the he just up and left over complete bullshit (him not caring for his cat and i snapped). To make it all worse the first dad left at 8w pregnant with my first and he came into our lives at 22w pregnant and knew the trauma I went through from that and he still up and did the same. I don...

Hi im a sahm, my daughter doesn't go to daycare we spend all day together. I feel sad when i see her play alone or there are days that im just way too tired to play with her and she keeps trying to play with me bringing me toy food 😭breaks my heart to see her so lonely. What do you do in this situations? How do…

Am I the only one who feels like we actually do not have 24 hours in a day? There's just so much to do daily with no time. From work, it's put on the mummy cape. Sometimes, I just want to have a big old cry.

My baby is just over a month old and I’ve been on maternity leave for almost 3 months (had to leave work early because of really bad pgp and I work in care) and before my son arrived I was fine but these last 4 weeks I’ve really struggled with feeling alone.. my partner is by my side and so are both of our families,...

I am in my 40s and I always had a very busy life (professionally and socially). And after wanting to get pregnant for years, I finally got pregnant and gave birth to my baby boy this March. Even though I am in love with him, I am still not getting used to being a new mum (the new routine). And the isolation (I liv...

No one told you how lonely pregnancy is. My mother is an hour away, mil is also an hour away, no friends because I had to let them go once I got pregnant, I’m all by myself. I have no idea what I’m doing and My husband is doing his best but I feel so alone.

I’m on day 3 of no contact and it’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I couldn’t take it anymore. I have absolutely no friends no family no community nothing. I’m stuck at this fork of wanting to breakdown but I have 4 kids who depend on me so I can’t fold. I wish I just had one person to tell me that I...

Hey guys! Quick question. What do people do when they are pregnant. My partner is at work and unable to spend everyday with me, I really only have one friend who works everyday so can’t spend time with her. Everyone is working (fair enough) but unfortunately due to risks in my pregnancy I can’t work at the moment....

Does anyone else feel like others make you feel as though you aren’t doing enough or a good job with your child by always telling you what to do or what you should be doing better

I am super excited about having baby and being mum but I’ve just had a bit of a cry session thinking about how my partner can be dad alongside working and playing his football a few times a week… and I’ll just be being mum constantly. I don’t really have any set activities/hobbies so I’m getting nervous that ‘me tim...

I look at my life and I'm just so unhappy. Mortgage late. Water bill late. Electricity late. I always imagined myself financially stable before bringing children into this world. I expected help from parents as far as babysitting while I work, as much as I would love to be that amazing homemaker that cooks 3 meals a...

How do mums manage to do things like shower and wash your hair and blow dry it, hang the washing up, pluck your eyebrows etc with a velcro baby? Will this come in time when I get used to it a bit more? My baby is only just over 2 weeks old...

I just recently turned 31 and I'm struggling. I'm a single mom of a 13 year old. I always pictured myself married, with my own home, with more kids before I turned 30. Here lately I've just been feeling pretty down and defeated. I've been single for 9 years and don't have my own home. I live in public housing (I k...

I don’t have much of a support system at all, and I’m such a people person and love being in the thick of it, but it’s so hard to make friends as a mam! Am I the only one!?
