Mom friends

Has anyone actually made any mom friends since having their little ones? I've made 0 and actually lost most friends since before baby.
I feel so alone and baby groups are always full of cliques 😭

I only did at groups and turns out one was my next door neighbour 🤣. I've found that yes there may be clusters but most are open to new people too and we now all mingle and chat. I've started a new one alone and I just chat and I'm nice and people seem to open up a little but I use like a script to help I've made up in my head and it's mostly asking about their littles first and no yes no questions to keep the convo flowing 😅. They were my worst nightmare before a baby but she helps as she's so open and sociable it forces me to, I've absolutely birthed an extrovert and I'm an introvert typically hahaha x

I haven’t I’ve also found most the mums at the groups are a lot younger and go with people they are already friends with and only chat to them

Message if you fancy a chat xx

I haven't 😑 but probably that's my own fault as since I have a baby I'm anxious about everything. Finally I'm feeling better as I'm back to work part time. Tomorrow we are going to baby group first time 🤞🏼

I’ve made like 1 and like you said I’ve lost more than I’ve made. I’m now pregnant with my second and finding it so so lonely because my partner works all day and it’s just me and my baby alone all day and I’m exhausted with being pregnant. I tried a baby group a couple times but my anxiety stopped me going back because like you say they’re just so cliquey and it made me feel awful and gave me really bad anxiety

Hey! I’m from the same area as you, I can recommend one really friendly and welcoming baby class. I had to stop as baby went nursery but after trying a few classes previously, I can honestly say it’s the best class ever! Everyone takes the time to get to know each other.

Also happy to go for a coffee or take bub’s out on a soft play date.

Feel free to drop me a message x

I haven’t either. I got to play group on a Monday and I’m literally on my own whilst they are all in their groups talking. No one talks to me which sometimes makes me not want to go but I do because of LO. Lost all my other friends over the years. So I only have that 1, which makes it very lonely at times. Always here for a chat if you would like too x

I have a few from work. I made one from here but I'm so socially awkward and I have anxiety about new people/things even though I know usually everyone else is the same 😅 I haven't done any baby groups even though it would be great for my daughter but I feel like I would make an absolute tit of myself. Even going to softplay makes me feel like an idiot 😂

I've made a couple of friends from here! I was new to the area so had no friends in general 😅 and from baby groups I've had no luck in meeting friends 🤷‍♀️

@Kelly I have this but the opposite ! I'm only 22 and they're all like proper grown ups 😂 it makes me feel more like my daughters big sister than her mum

Avatar

@Jessica dude me too! I just sit there feeling so awkward I'm the youngest there and the only one who isn't with a group , I only turn up because little one loves it and has made friends there . The only one I talk to is the instructor lady 😂

@Amrit I'd love too 🥹

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.

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 🤣

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers
