Yes! Me and my husband moved away from both our families 7 years ago. Been in our current house for 5, we're 150 miles from them. We live on a farm in the middle of nowhere, I don't drive or have a job and my husband works on the farm so he does long hours. He helps when he can but I don't like waking him during the nights to help because of his job. It would be nice to have someone to talk to during the day when it gets a bit much xx
@Stacey my children are older but I would love to chat xx
I’m my own worst enemy because I always think everyone else’s babies seem to be so easy compared to mine so how could anyone relate to me (stupid I know because u should never compare!) but because everyone’s babies different and will have different challenges at different times it feels like no one can relate to you but I know deep down that’s not the case 🙈
Feel free to send me a message whenever you're free ☺️ xxx
I found this too with my first (2yr old) honestly the best thing I did was go to a local baby/toddler class. The support from other local mums was great and I’ve made great friends through it as well as my daughter making little buddies. We now go to quite a few groups/ swimming lessons/gymnastics together which if I hadn’t have met them I would be a bit reluctant to go on my own. I’m currently pregnant again and they are a huge support network as well as my family and close friends. I feel like a lot of friends who had been through the having babies stage earlier in life in their late teens and 20s disappeared and friends that have no interest in babies did the same so I was grateful to meet this bunch going through the same stages as me,
Yeah, it’s really hard sometimes. Esp during the night when ur up doing feeds and you feel like ur the only person in the world who is awake( silly but yeah) I lost my grandad in my second trimester and then my dad 40 days before my wee girl was born. My wee heart is broken tbh but I still try and put on a fake smile and plod along to make sure she has a childhood she can look back on fondly. You’re not alone. It’s a difficult transition but just know that ur baby thinks the world of you and once they start talking etc ur gonna have a lil bestie to be with you forever 💘💘💘💘💘.. always here if u need a chat or a friend ❤️❤️❤️
