Feeling lonely😞

The loneliness I feel when my partner goes out is horrendous, it makes me feel silly as he’s so supportive and there for me all the time but as soon as he’s out I feel so down and overwhelmed. I’m 31+1 and wondering if it’s my hormones or does anyone else feel really lonely?

You aren't alone in how you're feeling. I'm exactly the same. I'm okay during the day when I'm working as I'm always talking to people, but if he isn't home in an evening or weekend I'm terrible, I feel so down and never know what to do with myself and it makes me feel so guilty. It'll just be the hormones 🩷

I think loneliness is super common in pregnancy. I have a really supportive network but still feel lonely. I think it's more to do with not doing the things outside of work I use to do loads like go to a gym which made me feel more connected to the outside world and its so tough being pregnant with all the hormones going crazy and unless you hang out with pregnant women it's hard for everyone to understand how you feel. Hang in there xx

I WISH I HAD A HUSBAND WHO COOKED FOR ME

Don’t you dare comment about how your man cooks for you- you’ll just make me cry😭😂 Cuz if you do have one of those, GOOD FOR YOU, I mean it.❤️😭🥹
As for the ones who don’t, let me hear it.😤😭

How do you get your employer to let you WFH?

I work in insurance and we have multiple agents who work from home already.

I've asked to WFH and I've been denied. Apparently no new requests for WFH are being approved anymore.

I've not been given a reason as to why just rather that I'm not allowed to.

I know it's a right to request flexible working and they have to provide a reason for this legally so I'm going to press on it a little but I'm wondering if anyone has any tips?

Thanks x

Babies first.. everything?

Am I terrible that I don’t feel the need to buy my son gifts for his first holidays. He’s 5 months old now
We didn’t do anything crazy for Christmas, new years, Valentine’s Day, Easter. I just don’t see the point right now. He won’t remember. He gets all and every toy I think he should have to help with development. We have a case of books from my shower we barely put a dent in reading….
I just don’t see the point in spending the money right now

*first birthday will be a HUGE exception pending on movement/development at that time**

How are we all feeling?

I have a 20 month old boy who is so lucky to have an amazing dad that is basically solo parenting at the minute because I’m too exhausted to parent.

I’m usually really active and busy but all I want to do is lie in bed and it’s making me feel really depressed and lonely because I miss spending time with my son and husband.

I also feel really guilty that I do nothing all day apart from moan about how shit I feel!

Anyone else?

Random bleeding on birth control

Started mini pill around 3 months ago and this month ive had mini bleeds the last 2 days of the week!
Is this normal? No period cramps just very light bleeding!

When your angry at the world

Why is it when your hormones are everywhere you get mad at the world. Think its worse as trying to find send activity's for my child in holidays is hard and you realise how lonely you actually are. As you don't know anyone with send your child's age and blame yourself
