Coffee shops

There was me thinking on maternity I'd be living the life checking out all the cute little coffee shops and trying out all the sweet treats etc. Just bought a medium coffee for £4.85 without a sweet treat! Close to a tenner with a cake.
I guess I'll be limiting my coffee stops to when I have someone to meet for a social once a week 🙃
Anyone else wondering how to make social meet ups less spenny?

M&S and morrisons do a free cake with a hot drink on Tuesdays I think 😊

My friend gave me a good tip, get a good travel coffee mug and take a coffee from home for walks etc. Alone or with friends!

Some children centres have stay and play with free drinks and biscuits.

With my first I would alternate the following to keep costs down as personally I needed to do something once a day:
- coffee
- Baby cinema at Everyman (comes with coffee and cake)
- Rhyme time at a library (free)
- class (paid termly)
- zoo (I had a very cheap membership via work which cost £30/yr at the time)
- playgroup (£2-3)
- Children Centre (free)
- walk (free)
- play dates with antenatal group (free)
- park when older

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 🤣

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.

Running mums!

Any other runners on here? Would love to connect ☺️
