Anyone else at 3 months pp? I know I love my baby but I just don’t feel that connection. I also feel very distant from my partner but that has always been the case since we’ve had a lot of issues between us.

We go outside everyday, I try to do new activities, I just can’t find my grove, I feel like I’m exhausted, and unhappy. I don’t have mom friends and I feel alone. I’m sure everyone goes through this, does anyone have any advice to be happy and feel fulfilled?

Is anyone else finding maternity leave so incredibly lonely? My partner works 10-15 hour shifts 7 days a week with every 2nd weekend off and I have 0 friends so 90% of the time it’s just me and little boy

I get nervous talking to guys now because I feel I will get judged. I do feel like i won’t even be able to spend time on nonsense since my priority is my baby. Idk why I feel wrong just even chatting w guys.

Hey mamas. It’s been a long time since I posted in here, but I’m curious if anyone else’s baby is developmentally behind? I keep seeing all these moms posting about how “advanced” their baby is and I feel very insecure if I’m honest. My son is 8m and is just now getting the skills of a 6m old. I’m honestly looking f...

like do you try to be the change you wish to see? or do you just like to talk?

I feel totally lost, I don’t recognise who I am anymore. The way I dress, the things I enjoy doing, it’s all changed so fast and I don’t know how to re discover who I am and learn the new me. Do you ladies have any tips to help find your new style, and re discover yourself post baby? It’s taking such a toll on me ...

Feeling so alone during my pregnancy because I’ve been left to do it solo. How do you manage to get through? 😞

Anyone else find motherhood obviously so rewarding but also so lonely? I'm an older mom so I feel like most of my friends have older kids and can't relate to where i am now with an 8 month old. I'm going to baby groups but while it's lovely meeting other moms it can be hard to build friendships when life is so busy ...

Any one else dreading their partner going back to work. I feel like I’ve got no next to no mum friend to speak to and meet up with. It feels even more lonely now being a mum of two.

Really finding life hard. I used to have loads of “friends” (drinking buddies) before I was pregnant but since moving to get away from the drinking lifestyle I’ve been completely ghosted by anyone from that life. I’ve got 2 best friends I’ve known for 15 years but I feel like when it’s my time to be happy or sad abo...

I live away from friends and family and husband works away a lot. Feel guilty I’m not present as I should be with my toddler. Wish I could give more of myself. I’m starting to feel really empty. Anyone else have any tips to get by?

The little girl who was told she was too much… …becomes the woman who never feels like she’s doing enough. Babe, You’ve achieved so much—yet deep down, something still feels off. Not more success. Not another milestone. But YOU. The version of you who is DONE shrinking, proving, and carrying the weight of never e...

This is the first time in a year or two I think since my son went to stay over to his dads for the weekend. I feel so sad and lonely and with anxiety now that he just left. I love my son and he’s been asking to go to his dads. He just turned 7 and I don’t want to not let him go just because he doesn’t send child sup...

I feel a little crazy for saying this, but I kind of miss being pregnant somedays. I’m so so happy I get to love and hold my baby but I miss the feeling of her kicking inside of me. I miss the excitement of the ultrasound appointments and seeing how much she’s grown. Now she’s here and no longer safe in my belly and...

Anyone else feel alone after giving birth? I’m happy and feel at peace but also kind of hurt that the people I used to talk to we don’t talk anymore. I’ve tried reaching out and I get the occasional responses but I feel like I have no more friends since giving birth. It’s weird because there’s a handful of girls tha...

I have yet to find a mom that I can relate too... Wondering if anyone feels the same? Maybe we can find our soul sister in the comments ? Do you cook on a daily basis ? How many children do you have ? Do you work ? Do you have any hobbies? Are you into any sports/fitness? Are you a helicopter mom? Have you ...

I am hesitant to do anything as I might...
