New born period as a lone parent
I'm having an amazing time with my new little person. I'm also exhausted and overwhelmed. I'm struggling to find connections and make new friends, its hard to listen to people talk about their partners at stay and plays etc. I wouldn't give my little girl back for all the money in the world but learning how to be a mum and greiving the relationship that she was born out of is a lot and im hoping to meet parents who can understand and maybe we can meet in person and offer each other some support

I totally get where your coming from however i cant really relate about greiving a relationship or my break up as i was never in a relationship to begin with when i fell pregnant with my daughter but ive deffo gone through hell with my BD
I hear you. I posted in a solo group the other day hoping to put together a WhatsApp group for mums in this position for support. Maybe something you'd be interested in? My bub is 6 months, my ex was abusive and, well its just me and my little ones x
A whatsapp group could be a good idea

This was me! I had a break up in very early pregnancy and he decided not to be involved with the baby. This was a huge shock to me and took a lot of adjusting. Pregnancy was also emotionally and physically difficult. My daughter is 9 months now and such a joy and things feel a lot easier I met another single mum on here, which has been great and I have met a mum friend who did ivf solo. Not exactly the same circumstances but helpful having made connections with other solo mums. I'm actually moving back up north early next year to be closer to family and also it makes sense financially too London is hard as a single parent! I still struggle with the sympathy looks people give when they realise I'm a single parents but it's getting easier!!
