Donāt feel guilty, itās completely normal! Youāve been stripped from all your freedom your social life has gone you canāt even take a bloody shower without asking permission like of course youāre lonely. Itās okay for dads they aināt gotta worry about being available 24/7 for their babies. If you ever need to chat Iām here x

Have you tried mummy and baby groups to try and make some mummy friends? Or even on here x

I love it but itās definitely lonely!! X

Totally normal⦠itās a whole new life your living, different from what youāve known for a long time. It takes time to adjust and specially when all the visits start to drop off and everyone else goes back to ānormalā life. I got really down but then found this app, got some good advice, tried new things, got my shoes on went for walks, got out to the charity shops, went for a coffee with a book, make the most of it because it doesnāt last long enough. ā¤ļøā¤ļø
