struggling

I’m in my 9th week and I don’t feel like seeing anyone or talking to anyone. I feel too tired to go out and socialise. I don’t even want to go to work, and I don’t feel like replying to messages. Do you think this is temporary, or should I seek some support? I haven’t discussed this with my midwife yet.

you literally are assisting a baby in growing. In all 3 of my previous pregnancies I was too tired to do a damn thing by week 5. By week 9, don’t even ask me to go nowhere cuz the answer will be no 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You can talk to your health provider if you feel like it would help, but I think that is normal, at least for me. The beginning is rough because you are adjusting to little to no sleep, being a new mom and putting everything before yourself right now. Especially if you are breast feeding or pumping. Just try to enjoy the two of you. Everyone else can wait❤️❤️ I think I went back to work (one day a week) around 4 months. You got this girl and you know your mind better than anyone. If you feel like you are hopeless, not bonding well with your baby, or sad, then I would say talk to your doctor. But if its mainly just wanting to be left alone then I believe that is normal.

Feeling a bit lonely.

Looking for a mom friend who loves Jesus, is a SAHM (or understands that season), and enjoys simple life things—being outside, nature, baking, cooking, and cozy home days. Easygoing, kind, loves animals, and values a real, low-pressure friendship. Can vent without feeling judged. We don't have to like or agree with the same things. We can support one another. I just have been feeling a bit lonely that I don't have friends I can constantly text about anything. Idk if it's just a season or if anyone else feels the same way.

Suspected cheating - am I crazy?

I suspect my partner has been disloyal, am I crazy for messaging the woman and asking her? I never wanted to be that person but I just can’t trust a word this man says.

Please tell me I’m not alone

Is anyone else getting so tired of the older generation? Thinking that they are the mom of your baby and also thinking that you are still a kid and not someone that is almost in their 30s. Everything my husband and I do is soooo wrong.
They talk to us like we are kids and the minute we try to standup for ourselves and be the parents to our baby we are considered the bad guy

Looking for momma friends!

Hi mamas and mamas to be!

I’m a 20 (almost 21) year old mommy to my beautiful 23 month old son. I’ve been a stay at home mom since I got pregnant. I’m in need of mom friends and big time socialization that I lack from by being stay at home. I’d love to chat!
