Lonely?

Feeling lonely?

Hi! I’m a 23 year old ftm to a baby boy. I’m about 7 months postpartum and throughout my whole pregnancy till now, I’ve struggled with feeling alone lol. I have some friends and my man but it’s been hard to find other people to relate to during this time. Especially since a lot of the moms I’ve encountered are so different (not that that’s bad), either in age or walks of life.

I’m not the most extroverted person ever, but I crave connection.

I’m not sure how to combat this and get myself out of this rut. If anyone has any feedback, comments, and solutions please let me know! I’m open to hearing all responses :))

Thanks!

On mat leave

My manager has just removed me from the work group chat and her only text was to tell me that she’s doing that until I return. The group chat is nothing but a bit of banter so no serious work talk. It’s made me feel a bit low. And felt like it wasn’t something that was really necessary.

AITA

Hello! I’m a first time mom and I’m in a few mom groups but I don’t feel like I connect with anyone. Most of the groups contain moms who either have issues with their spouse, have PPD or just have a bad outlook on being a mom. I try to connect but I haven’t experienced any of that with my baby or husband. From the pregnancy up until now, I haven’t experienced any sadness, feeling disconnection to my baby or husband , haven’t been depressed or upset. I’ve been enjoying literally every moment of motherhood. I don’t mind being up all night if baby decides to not sleep, I breastfeed and co-sleep (please don’t judge, baby has a in-bed bassinet) . I don’t want to seem like I’m better than the other moms cause I know I’m not so I just keep my distance as I don’t want anyone to feel uncomfortable 😔

Please I need help with prenatal

I don’t know which brand to choose.
I’m looking to get pregnant sometime in nov.
With my first pregnancy, I was using materna but that’s when I knew nothing about ingredients. I need something less toxic ingredients.

I saw another brand, Jamieson but I’m not sure if it’s vitamin A was too high. I asked AI. It said it was just right.
It has iron.

Is that brand good or is there another?
Please I have no idea about this stuff

Thank you mamas!

Why?

Why do I even bother trying to make friends anymore? I just get ghosted or they lose interest

Trust me ik he is cheating mamas need to vent

Okay mamas, I need y’all to be REAL with me because maybe I’m overthinking, but I genuinely don’t know how I’m supposed to feel about this. 😩

My fiancé and I were out having a pretty good, chill day. We stopped to get an oil change, and while they were working on the car, he got our daughter out and sent me back to the car to grab some things.

I look down and see an EMPTY CONDOM WRAPPER in the car. 😐

Now, we haven’t been having sex like that lately, and I know I haven’t had anybody else in the car or been sexually involved with anybody else. So obviously I was caught completely off guard and upset.

I asked him about it, and his response was basically, “I was about to ask you the same thing.” Then he said he hasn’t “thrashed nobody in the car recently.” 🙃

And THAT wording has me stuck because… what exactly does “recently” mean?! 😭

Am I wrong for feeling like that response raised even MORE questions instead of answering the original one? I’m not saying I know he cheated because I don’t. But I feel like I have a right to ask where an empty condom wrapper in our car came from, especially when we haven't been sexually active like that.

Then he got mad at me for how I reacted, and now I’m sitting here wondering if I’m being gaslit or if there’s an explanation I’m not thinking of.

I’m not looking for people to automatically tell me “LEAVE HIM” or “HE CHEATED.” 😂 I genuinely want honest perspectives from moms: How would YOU interpret this situation, and what would you ask him?
