Missing Family

My in-laws have been visiting from abroad for a week. Now that they’re leaving, I feel really sad. I am currently on maternity leave with my baby, and I’ve just realized how lonely and isolated I feel—and how wonderful it is to have people around. I didn’t really mind it when it was just my husband and me, but now that we have a family, I truly feel the loneliness—not only in terms of the support we could use, but also in the love and attention we’re missing. I am reaaaaaally dreading Monday when it's gonna be just me and my baby with my husband back at work.

Show your support

I’m the same! Since my baby girl was born last year I’ve thinking of going back to my country! And I will. Now I have a second on the way and I can’t stop feeling lonely! :(

Look for baby groups or mothers groups or any pram walking groups locally that you can attend ….library baby bounce sessions… gather where other mums gather and hopefully you can find someone. Even walking around at the shops makes me feel less lonely, just being around people, and I have no problems chatting up mums in the baby rooms just changing their baby’s diaper so I’ve made friends that way as well. At his bday parties, half are blood family and half are made family/friends that we’ve met along the way. Good luck Xx Do you have a car to get out?

Join mum groups, look up children centres in your local area! It is a really lonely period for sure. I don't think I'd handle it well if I didn't have somewhere to go every week day! Sending positive vibes ❤️❤️
