I’m sad today because there’s a Halloween party and I’m not going

There’s a Halloween party and I’m not going. It’s going to be too wild. I don’t want to get sick. It makes me sad because I actually got invited to something pregnant and I’m not going to go. I have lost a lot of friends after I announced my pregnancy… I was a bit of a party girl and nobody has kids or wants to be around babies, but it hurts because I thought it was deeper than just going out together. Anyway, I am very excited for my son, but I still cry thinking about my old friends.

Sorry to hear your feeling like this, I understand that your friends are about going out but you have to think that they don’t understand that you’re prioritising yourself and your baby now, hopefully you’ll find some comfort and connections with this app 🥰 hugs 🤗

Girl I legit broke down crying the whole way home from work this week about this. My energy levels and nauseous at the beginning led to me basically self isolate and now socializing outside of family is a lot of effort on my end or just doesn’t happen. I joined a PIP group to help but attendance was super low and it was informative but didn’t have the socialization part I wanted. Just know I think a lot of moms to be feel the same way as you. I agree with Bee that taking yourself on dates could be helpful and I hope the upcoming holidays are nice to you 💗

im sorry you were crying about this! The loneliness aspect is really difficult to deal with. What is PIP?

thank you! That’s what I’m hoping for, too! I am happy this app exists for sure

my last relationship was long distance with my ex living in Mexico, so I know how rough that can be, but I bet being pregnant adds on another layer. I’m sorry that you have been struggling. That is good advice. I want to go out but I’m also trying to save money. I need some cheap ideas. Something I’ve been liking to do is go to the botanical gardens. It’s so beautiful with the changing leaves

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)

I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol

What are your symptoms?

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

C section compression socks

Hey ladies when did you ditch the compression socks and how mobile were you when you did? I’m so done with them! 6 weeks tomorrow since the op and im walking around the house doing jobs and baby care but not really out and about yet (the odd day I am) is it safe to ditch the socks?
