Pregnancy Blues

Does anyone else go through a stage in pregnancy where you just feel so alone? My partner doesn’t understand as not as much is changing for him. My friends don’t have children so I feel super disconnected and they don’t understand what I’m going through. Family check in but I feel no one likes to bother me to do any...

What do you do to fill your evenings when your child/children are in bed?

My evenings are so lonely. I'm usually in bed before 10pm as I get bored sat on my own with no one to talk to. I've got no family or friends to call/message, there's only so long I can sit in the bath and watch crap on TV to pass the time. I'm so fed up of being lonely 😭

Feeling lonely

Anyone else just feeling really lonely and isolated on mat leave? I only have a limited budget so unable to fill up the week with baby classes. We go to a mummy and baby yoga class hut that’s it. So we stay at home most days in our small flat while my partner works and returns around 8:30. It’s hard to establish...

Identity crisis?

Let me start by saying, I have a good life, an amazing husband, perfect lil baby, great family…but sometimes I wish I had a completely different life. I wish I was single, living on my own with no one to answer to and no baby. I’m a SAHM and the days can be overwhelming. I sometimes watch tv shows where they are sin...

Any other mums struggling?

I love my baby and I’m SO lucky to have him. But I’m finding this all so overwhelming 5 months later. I miss my independence & being productive. I know it’s just a season and I’ll miss these days. But I feel like all I do is take care of my family and no one takes care of me? I miss feeling good about myself, nothin...

Anxiety

Does anyone take anxiety medication for I guess social anxiety maybe I don’t even know. It’s not awful, but if I’m going out for the day, which I do try and push myself to do a lot, and 99% of the time I can push myself to do it and I realise it wasn’t as bad as I thought, but before we leave, even on the car ther...

Feeling frustrated

I love being a mum but I also feel frustrated at times. Tired of her crying and I feel like everyone loves my baby but treats me as if I’m invisible! My husband comes home and immediately goes to my daughter. I wish I didn’t feel like this but I do. I would walk into a family function and everyone wants to hold her ...

I am alone

I have no one. Not in the literal sense, but everyone in my life has become someone I can't talk to about things, including my spouse of 10 years. My grandmother is dying and that is just 1 of so many things that have gone wrong in my life the past couple years. Idk why I'm making this post, I think maybe I just nee...

Doing around 98% of the parenting, having to prompt partner for bare minimum, he works away a lot and on top of that baby doesn’t sleep so running on empty each day. Then feel guilty because feel like babe doesn’t ...

Forgetting to do this ONE THING will keep you from having your dream life😣😢…

The biggest mistake most people make is thinking about their dream life more than WRITING ABOUT IT! Did you know that your ability to manifest your desires is deeply intertwined with the way you express yourself, specifically through writing! The power of writing and the uniqueness of handwriting help you do thes...

Anyone else still not found mum friends yet

I go to baby groups but still not found anyone I’ve really clicked with or on this app. I’ve chatted to mums at baby groups but they all seem to be having different experiences to me or aren’t being entirely honest (enjoying every moment and have babies that sleep through) I of course love my baby more than anything...

Anyone else???

I’m finding this stage so much harder. A lot of the time I feel out of my depth and just doing the wrong thing by my baby. I only have one child, I could never have more, don’t know how people do it?! Between sleep deprivation that’s still very much a thing, development and the impact it has on relationships it...
