Lonely?

Agree 100% xx

It’s so normal to feel this! Especially when you’re the first in your friendship group, I had similar with my first daughter. If you cannot seem to find friends through groups etc just try to enjoy those moments with your little one. They are not lonely at all, you’re all they need ❤️ xx

Yes!!! It’s really difficult xx

Yeah I agree with this. This is my second baby but after my first my best friend of 15 years just disappeared off the face of the planet. She never even met my baby. Try to ring family, read a book maybe, and start a journal - these are things that helped me. Also as soon as babies get a bit older they’re so much more interesting and will keep you occupied and fascinated with how quick they learn etc. it will get better xx

Feel this so much! This is my second but I am still the first/only in my friendship groups with kids. Newborn stage I have found as the loneliest, you are going through so much that you can’t explain, your Barbie is still too small to really interact with & entertain. The play groups are also a struggle but I would say stick them out. Find your local children’s centre or library for the free baby sessions. And pay for the private classes too. Church halls usually have baby sessions too. Try them all and in different areas. This will give you things to do/places to go each week & also get you interacting with new people

This is me, I’m the first of my friends to have a baby, family lives far away and partner works 6/7 days a week. Some days I love it being just me and baby in a little bubble but other times just wish I had someone to talk to and relate to. So get you 100%

If it wasn't for my mum, who I see twice a week and we go to classes together and days out when the weather is nice, yes, I'd 100% feel so alone and isolated I'm really lucky to have my mum. My partner is also home at 2.45 every days and doesn't work weekends so I really look forward to the weekend too

Couldn’t agree more x

I hated mum groups on my first, couldn’t stand the baby talk, I wanted normal conversation 🙈 but I met another women who lived round the corner on here and we’d meet up and I found the one to one better than trying to fit in in the baby groups. This time round again I haven’t bothered with them, my HV keeps trying to force it but I’m perfectly happy not going. Have you got a hobby that maybe you could do once dad is home? I live away from my family but I play netball, so made friends through that and it gives me me time 2-3 times a week away from being a mum
