Being alone

I had the same exact feeling with my baby when he was around 4 weeks old, i was scared to be left alone with him as a new mum… but don’t worry it will get better, once you get past the first day being alone, you will feel a lot more confident

I was the same way epically with hubby working out of town 5 days a week. It’s going to have to take time to get use to it that’s for sure ! I have a 4 week old on Friday feel free to message me !

I had the same feeling when my husband had to go back to work. I was really scared of being alone. Eventually you’ll get used to it and it’s really not that bad. Just give it time

Take the baby out. I’m out all day, either w a mum friend or “around people”- I’m not scared of being alone per se but I’m a social extrovert. I’ve met so many mums from here and at baby groups, my baby’s got a handful of play date buddies he’s grown up with. I went to Chinese new year festival yesterday w 2 mum friends and their kids. Take the baby out, go to where other mums go, and hopefully you make some friends you can spend time with, outside of your mum and partner. I have my sisters too one lives 5m away the other about 20mins and they’re always at mine they just come over whenever they want.

@Kellie I had a c section so I can’t leave the house due to me not being able to drive

@Aylissa thank you sooo much

@Benedetta thank youuu

@Shana thank youuu

@Kedriuna is there anyone you can invite over. For company.

Also many people came over like 2 days out of 4 that he worked for like 2 weeks after he went back to work. That help a lot too, invite you’re friends or family over and don’t worry about if the house is messy. They’ll understand

Maternity is an interesting time, you'll find your rhythm but it's hard in winter. Maybe do a video call or 2 to break up the day. Tell your hubby to call on his lunch 😜. Rest when baby rests. I enjoyed having a show to watch when breastfeeding/ baby naps. Maybe call the midwife if you like British period shows? Bundle up and get out for a walk. My daughter was a February baby, I would put her in the carrier on my chest and even a 10-15 min walk is a success.
