I'm 8 weeks pp and I feel so alone. I'm so clingy to my boyfriend I don't want him to do anything I'm not there with him for and I feel awful for it. When he goes to work I feel so alone, and when he wants to do something i.e fix his car bla bla I just want him to come back inside, to a point I could cry. I've seen my friends a few times, see my parents and my boyfriends parents a lot but I just feel like I'm doing life alone, I can't explain it but sometimes I feel better than other times, it's sort of like in waves but god I feel so alone. Any advice?

I'm 11 weeks pp and feel pretty much the same, not all the time but the odd days. Even feeling jealous sometimes for him been able to go to work 😅
My partner works 12 hours shifts 4 days in a row so it definitely makes it feel as I'm doing it all alone when he's not around.
In my case, I don't have any family nearby and friends work too.
I try to see the glass half full as I'm sure there are mothers who have even less support.
Personally,I struggle to make myself go out as I see it such a struggle with my LO being so fussy and clingy right now.I guess if I made the effort, it would make me feel better as it has done when I have tried so my advice would be try to look into mum and baby classes maybe or local support groups you can regularly meet,even weekly, just so you start building more relationships with people who are going through the same thing as you. You might enjoy it and have something to look forward when your partner is not around and feel less clingy.
This is what I'm going to try at least 🙂

Hang in there, while I didn’t get that feel I know many do and it’s difficult to contend with. Share that loneliness feeling with family and friends, people will offer support where they can 🙏

I just had my first baby at the beginning of September. I’m turning 34 next week and have been struggling with whether we should have more children. We tried for a few years for our daughter so it wasn’t easy. And I’m not a dinosaur or anything, but I definitely feel that way when I think about having another baby in the next couple years 👵
At the same time, my step son who we have part time is 10years old so my little girl would be an only child. I had my little sister growing up and now we are so close. I know the beauty of having a sibling to grow with. I worry about her being lonely 🥺 Especially since I don’t have family or friends with kids close to her age or with children at all.
Any advice/wisdom?

Hey yall so I'm looking for that one friend I can call when I'm bored and we chat about anything and everything, someone open to all conversations and isn't afraid of communication, if something I say (I'm unfiltered) rubs you the wrong way, let me know, I'll fix it. I feel as if I'm pretty funny and I find a lot of inappropriate things hilarious. I'm gross lmfao we all pee we all poop and we all fart etc. if your down to get to know me feel free to message.

Will it ever get back to normal? I’ll preface by saying my fiance is great, he’s doing as much as he can when comes home from work both with LO and with household tasks - laundry , cooking, cleaning. He’s trying to be supportive of me, telling me I am great mum, always tells me how pretty I look etc. But we are just in this roommate mode and don’t know when will that change. He sometimes tries to initiate but I’m not really interested in anything intimate. We have been not having penetrative sex since probably March as had some pregnancy complications with my placenta, just lots of hand stuff. Now I’m two months postpartum and we have done some hand stuff again but that’s it. I can tell it bothers him, but I’m just really not interested. During the day all my focus is on the baby, and in the evening when we home I just want to relax. This is obviously effecting the rest of the relationship and I feel like he’s starting to resent me. I just don’t know how to fix it? I don’t want to have sex just to fix stuff, but also know it most likely won’t repair without that part as well. When will I feel desire for intimacy again?
