Postpartum Ups and downs

Seems like since I’ve had my baby people switched up. Feel left out a lot just hard accepting the changes. Nobody comes around me anymore. I’m trying to feel normal but I don’t at all. I dislike my body just don’t feel attractive nomore. Just venting

Same here and it feels like no ones understands and they say I’m doing to much and get called “sensitive”

Hey Von! I hear you and can completely relate to how you’re feeling. Our bodies go through so many changes and it can be hard to cope with all while tending to a new baby. Just know that what you’re feeling is normal and you’re not alone. ❤️

it’s crazy cause I was experiencing it while pregnant too. Like I seen how they were with their other pregnant friends they made sure to include them. But it just seems like I always get treated differently

Yup I went through it so I know how you feel but I’ve accepted being alone with my baby there’s nothing that brings be more joy

yes! Give yourself some grace and enjoy these intimate moments with your baby. It may feel lonely sometimes but keep in mind that this is time that you can have your baby all to yourself lol try to think of it that way because they’re only little for such a short period of time.

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

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 🤣

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.
