Lonely

I moved to a new city and had a baby. It feels like the perfect recipe for loneliness. I try reaching out to new people and putting myself out there, but I’m starting to feel like something is wrong with me. I have no friends, and it seems like I can’t make any. I’m not giving up, just in my feels today. Can anyone relate?

I totally get it. I moved to a new city while pregnant with my first and gave birth there. I was in your shoes. I used peanut to make a friend and also stated getting involved in things to meet people: joined parent and child classes. Joined a ladies group at my church. Got involved in my new neighborhood (this one can be easier or more difficult depending on your location. My first neighborhood people were less social than my current one).
Another ides is to go to your library’s story times to meet other parents.

I’m so sorry you’re lonely and struggling. It is really hard. The main thing is to keep trying! I know some of the other moms were so distracted that it took awhile to make friends in classes too. I feel the best way is to volunteer so if you have childcare so you can do that, I have found the best success with this :)

I legit moved out of state alone only to call my momma crying about how she needed to come too because I felt alone. It was the worst decision of my life.

Trust me you aren’t alone!!

Fed up of my relationship

Me and my boyfriend got back together for the baby - big mistake. I hate every second of this life together. He’s been in touch with girls he slept with ( when we were broken up, I’ve deleted everyone )whilst I was being pregnant. I literally cannot think straight. I hate him, I want him gone from my life. It might be a worse day I have today and I hate him extra, but every day is a struggle, because how the fuck were they better than me? I’m done, I’m so done I need out with my baby and him out of my life. I don’t trust him or believe in anything he says.

Single Mother - Struggling

Son is now 8 and I am struggling so bad with life and motherhood in general. I have no friends, no hobbies. I just work and stay home while praying for it to be nighttime so all the pain and sadness will go away. I wake up each day and start it all over again. I don't know what I am doing here but I am trying to give everything a shot.

Feeling like...

Why does it feel like sometimes even when you've made the effort to connect with people that there's still a disconnect?
Or maybe I've said something wrong?
Who knows.
An invitation.
Maybe I let somebody down?
I think when things are last minute its harder for me to make it work but if an invitation arises again,I most certainly won't let it pass me up. I'll rearrange what I got going on to make it happen.

What's everyone feeling like currently?

Question

Saw my OB for the first time today.
She seemed a bit grumpy i know they were busy. She said it herself.
Either way i am supposed to start taking a low dose of aspirin everyday but unsure as to what kind because she didn’t really specify on it. She just said low dosage every day that’s it. Went to look on patient portal to see if anything was there and nothing.
