Mentally exhausted

I’m so exhausted, im so mentally exhausted. I love my baby so much but recently I’ve been feeling so disconnected recently all I’ve been doing is putting the telly on for them all day while I just sit there. When I try to play with them and interact they have none of it I feel like they don’t love me. When they go to bed I just cuddle them in bed and just cry to myself.

Does anyone have any advice on how to get out of this rut?

I feel for you. I felt like this in january and since going back to work on 1st Feb, I am feeling so much better. I miss my little girl so much, but i have more time for myself, i can shower, go to the gym, eat/drink well lol and when she comes home, i'm a better mum for it! I'm happier and more present. I do work from home and the nursery is close to the house so i am lucky that i don't have a commute etc.

Are you going back to work? Or if not have a family member who can have your little one for a few hours a week so you can have some time for yourself?

No I do want to get into work but I’m a single mum not much money and childcare can be expensive. Most of my family members work but I think they wouldn’t mind.

Sounds really tough but there’s no way they don’t love you! You are their Mummy ❤️ have you tried going out for a walk and popping them in the baby swing at the park to get out of the house for a bit if they’re not as keen on playing inside? Or maybe playing with one of their toys that can be in the bath with them so that they can splash about too. If they’re feeling too tired to play, a book on the sofa together is another way you two can bond together. Most libraries have baby bounce and rhyme sessions that are free and great for getting out of the house and doing something different. It sounds like you could do with some more friendly faces in your day too ❤️ really hope you start to feel better soon

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

And is there any safe for breastfeeding

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣

Loosing connection

I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant and my partner can’t and hasn’t come anywhere near me sexually for about 12 weeks or so now. We tried but he got put off saying he was worried he was hurting the baby. I’ve spoken to him about this trying to tell him he can’t and he’s no where near, I’ve sent him email links I’ve had through on newsletters. My libido is through the roof and I’m worried we will drift apart if we don’t have aex again soon.
