Lonely

Does anyone else just feel really lonely? I try and take my girl out as much as I can, often alone, today we went down the field and I got her out to have a little cuddle and look around which she enjoyed but found myself tearing up a bit as I just feel alone! Even tho I’m obviously not as I’m with my daughter. It’s weird!

Yep, I feel you. I was told motherhood was lonely and know I know what they mean.

Entirely! I tried to explain it to my partner but I'm not sure he understands.
Literally most of my adult conversations are with whoever is working the starbucks drive through.

Yes! Tried explaining to husband but he doesn't understand. When he's at work, it's 15hr long shifts. Tells me 'just make friends with other mums, it's fine!' but doesn't understand that it's not as easy as that!

Yep I know the feeling! We go to groups and things but haven't made any friends yet. It's really hard xx

Yep same thing. It’s lonely and no one understands 😕

I feel the same! I try really hard to join classes, get out and meet people but that’s exhausting on little sleep and expending extra energy getting to know people you wouldn’t normally be friends with, so I get home feeling a bit drained. Especially as she cries unless I’m holding her (e.g in the car, pram etc). Hoping it gets better as they get older…?

Mama needs new friends ✨

Hey mamas 🤍 I'm going to be honest — I'm at a season in my life where I'm craving real, genuine friendship. The kind where we actually check on each other. Where conversations go both ways. Where we can laugh, vent, cry, and just *be* without it feeling one-sided.

I'm a stay at home mom of 6 (yes, 6! 👏🏼) and my days are full but my cup feels a little empty in the friendship department. I'm looking for women who get it — the chaos, the beauty, the exhaustion, all of it.

If you're a mom who values deep, reciprocal friendship and you're also out here looking for your people — drop a 👋 below. Let's actually get to know each other. 🤍

Really embarrassing!
I'm a first time mummy at 35, she's 16 month and everytime I sneeze or cough I lose control of my bladder and pee a little 😔, I've had countless utis since having her aswell! Will it get better? Or do I need to invest in panty liners? 😆

Leaving your baby

Has anyone else not left their baby to be looked after by someone else (not dad) yet? I still don't feel ready but am being told I should be by now

Random but when you use a vibrator do you need to hold your lips open for it to touch the bean ?

It gets annoying because even if I open my legs I still need to hold the lips open to touch the bean and I have to do it the entire time my lips are literally sealed closed 🤣
