What are you finding the most challenging as a solo Mum??
For me I think it's the loneliness and feeling that being a solo (or single) Mum still has a stigma.

I felt that way... what helped me the most was heading to baby classes and meeting some Mums with littles the same age. Then it gave us both some company and the chance to share the joy with each other. Others, inclusing my family and friends without babies couldn't really relate or didn't seem that interested after the first little while! So I feel you 🥰

Only 3 weeks in, and until now I’ve been so focussed on survival (for both of us!) I hadn’t really thought about it. But now we’re starting to get out and about and relaxing a little and experiencing some newborn joy, I’m struggling not having anyone to share the good times and memories with. For the struggles and challenges I’m pretty robust tackling on my own, but I’m finding it tough not having anyone to share the joy with. All my photos of us together are selfies and I’m pretty sure my best friend is sick of receiving them already 🥹
