My partner just left me with a 3 month old

Hey, after 12 years of relationship he decided that things came to an end today.

I am a first time mum, living in the UK, and moved from abroad. I don’t have anyone here.
We both wanted the baby. During pregnancy I had gestational diabetes and it was very challenging emotionally and I was still doing everything by myself at home (meals, cleaning, etc) while I was heavily pregnant.

He was barely helping me with the baby to give me a break. According to him he felt this way for a long time but he cannot do this anymore. Therefore is better to leave me 3 months pp.
We have a mortgage together, he said he will give his share and doesn’t want anything back.

Financially i don’t know how I will cope and the support that i can have as i am a saver in case something goes wrong and i don’t have anyone to help.

I have anxiety. I would like to make sense how someone that moved with me from another country just to be with me has the courage to leave me now that I am most fragile.
My baby is EBF and without being unfair I don’t want her to be alone from me anyway even when we share responsibilities. I don’t think it’s fair for me to miss her milestones but I don’t want her to grow without a dad.

My 10 year relationship has just ended and we have an almost 2 year old. We’ve been in Brazil so I’m coming back here alone to start afresh. I feel the same, but it’s gunna be okay! In a few months, everything will have settled and we will be happier 💕
Where are you located?

It’s going to be okay . You’ll get a job put your child in nursery. Keep moving forward

I am in Nottingham.
He is my best friend and has been my support as I lost my mum 13 years ago. we have been friends for a long time before starting a relationship too.

I am currently on maternity leave and will be till end of January. So i spend my days at home

Hey, not sure why this came up on my feed but it did. Also in Nottingham so feel free to reach out and we can try to arrange a meet up if you feel up to it. You will work everything out though, it's only early days so look after yourself and your little one.

Looking for friends

Hey laddies. I’m 27 year olds I’m a mom of 2 girls. I’m currently 3 months pregnant. I want to make some new friends I get bored I realize I don’t have any more friends. I stay in Tennessee. Also I’m a Virgo. Let’s be friends 🥰

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?

Feeling stupid

I got drunk last night and had unprotected sex he didn’t cum in me but I’m ovulating
And having pain and I’m freaking out

Can I take morning after pill when already ovulating/ ovulated
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 🤣
