Isolation after pregnancy
I gave birth to my son 3 months ago and it’s been so isolating. I barely do anything and it’s starting to make me a little depressed. I have no friends etc and the ones I did have before I gave birth hasn’t even came around since I gave birth. Motherhood has started to get lonely for me, I wish I had some mom friends on this new journey
Hello momma! Congratulations on your little one! Have you talked to your doctor about how you’re feeling? Lack of sleep during these times is hard to come by and can definitely take a toll on our wellbeing. Monitor your mood, maybe there’s a bit of post partum depression? Not sure where you live and if you have the option to drive. Might be worth exploring what your city has to offer like baby story time at the library. Is there a family connection centre in your town/ city that offers baby time with other moms, baby swimming lessons, mommy and baby fitness classes, etc. It’s a nice way to get out of the house and to start meeting other fellow mommas and babies.
