PP is lonely

4weeks PP, I’ve never felt so lonely and just so sorry for myself. Kept telling myself it’s the hormones but not being able to talk to my partner, my family or my friends (who have all been distant since pregnancy) The body changes, the late nights, the no help even holding my pee, not eating properly. I just feel so alone and helpless. Will this get better?

It 100000% will get better!!! You’re just in the thick of it now so please just remember you’ll get through the other side and it will feel so much easier! ❤️ you’re doing amazing xx

It does get better love. Im sending you hugs and positivity❤️

It defo gets better, you are adjusting please give yourself time. The newborn trenches are some of the toughest times, your body is still healing as is your mind whilst doing everything to nurture your newborn. It’s a lot!! And I bet you are doing amazing. Day by day. Take the joys in small things. Try to get out for some walks or just enjoy a warm tea and Netflix. Baby will still start sleeping longer stretches. You will get a bit more sleep. Deep breathes, know you are doing the best job in the world, it will get better

Invite people over. People don’t know you are lonely unless you reach out. I asked for my besties to visit, my sisters to be there. I wasn’t lonely PP. if they distanced then tell them you’ve had your baby would they like to come over and visit the baby, visit you. In my experience people who have direct invites to come and visit a new mum usually does come.

Hi lovely, how are you feeling now?
