I need advice!! 31 + 3

Im a first time mum to be and for anyone who lives in the UK atm particularly Scotland will know how HOT the weather is right now. Anyways im really struggling my partner is a very social butterfly and he goes to the football so for example hes out from 10am today till whatever time he will be home tonight. Im really struggling with feeling so alone especially on the nice days where everyone is out at beer gardens etc … i dont have any real friends that i could message to hang out with i guess im just looking for some advice. I cant stop crying this morning of the overwhelming feeling of what the heck am i going to do with my time today ☹️

My friends’ partner does rugby and she goes with him and the wives meet up and chat while the boys play and watch them too..is that an option? Like a football wives society lol.

Ahh if they don’t have partners then that’s a tough one. You’ll have to put yourself out there and reach out then. Pregnant…I suggest looking for prenatal walking/yoga/Pilates/swimming or a pram walking group coz some other mums with young babies/toddlers will most likely to pregnant again having their second etc so whatever prenatal fitness group you can find local I suggest going to that if only for the socialising and so you will have mums to do motherhood with, the babies will only be a couple weeks or a couple months (in the future that won’t matter), apart. I’ve met some mums in prenatal groups that I’ve stayed friends with, I’ve met mums at baby groups when born, and I’ve met mums on here too by msging and inviting out. Look for prenatal groups near you, use your swipe feed on here to chat to local mums. That’s where I’ve found my mum friends, a couple from each season of my life. I made one friend at my prenatal app too while waiting I chatted her up and we swapped numbers.

What part of Scotland are you from. There are a lot of Scottish ladies here if you are close to where I’m from (Glasgow city centre) I wouldn’t mind meeting for a coffee or a walk along the canal if it helps. 🩷
Hope you feel better soon. I’m 9weeks tomorrow but we could still have a coffee or a walk if you’re just looking for a little company. 💗💗💗

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?

If anyone knows anything please reach out. I just want my baby to be safe but living in this economy with one income is just impossible. Please fellow moms im begging for anything!

Advice

Ok so I had this friend and she would always talk about how it was so embarrassing to post your face on tinder or any kind of dating/friendship platform because it makes you look desperate. This has stuck with me soo much over the years, I always post anonymously. I really want a friend just 1 friend that I can go out n do stuff with and we just click but I refuse to post my face on any friendship platform, also because I might see someone I know and I literally HATE the idea of that. I feel so stuck, because I’m not the type of person to go out a lot I go to work and come home and when I do go out to parks and stuff there’s literally never any moms that try to strike up conversation. I really wanna get on bumble bff to try it out but it makes it to where you have to post your face. PLEASEEE any advice would help. I get bumble bff go through the people and then I delete it within like 5 minutes because I see someone I know.
