I feel and understand you so much. I have a 3 month old girl as well. 3 months today actually. And my man is out of town for work. I am so depressed and my sister don’t invite me to anything, I need so much help but they only come over for an hour or so and I can barley get anything done in an hour i usually shower then but I have so much cleaning to do but my little one won’t let me put her down or she will cry. My siblings make mean jokes sometimes to me and my other sister thinking they are being funny and it’s just hurtful. Maybe I’m just feeling my postpartum? But it’s hard for me to even go on to socials and seeing people go out and have fun. It’s not that I want to have a bunch of friends or do the activities they are doing. I just want one friend I can connect with. My siblings don’t understand some of my boundaries I have for my daughter and make me uncomfortable and they get weird with me. I’m so lonely and I understand you so much. I’m sorry you feel this way.
hello! i totally get what u mean in the fomo aspect, although im only pregnant with my first child, i completely understand the feeling. it’s hard wanting to go out drinking and clubbing when you can’t or partying with them and whatnot. i just wanna say please feel free to text me! i’m 21 and pregnant and looking for new mom friends if u ever wanna chat or something :)
