Feeling lonely

I feel deeply saddened to always be alone. It's nice to have my baby for company, but it's not the same thing. I wish my husband was able to be home more. He's gone for 2 weeks and he's home for 1 to 3 days. I have one friend and she's usually busy and my family is all usually busy.

Nursery costs

Hi, I’m currently pregnant and I’ve started looking at nursery costs.. and I am astounded (Nottingham area). I can’t afford to not work… but I can’t afford to put my baby in nursery. I can only take 8 months maternity as my workplace only offers SMP… so my baby will have to be put into nursery at 7 months old at the latest.

My partner does earn a decent wage to pay for the bills… but it doesn’t cover absolutely everything. Is anyone else in the same boat? I’m really stressing over this as it’s going to happen. Any advice (and please no judgement) is welcome

Work

I’ve gone back to work and feel so behind. Everyone I started with has been promoted and moved on within the organisation and I’m with a new team and feel so behind. Now if I was to have another child because I do I’ll fall even more behind 😭

Anyone else struggle socially at mum groups?

I’m quite an introverted person, and even before becoming a mum I already struggled socially, even back in my home country in Asia. Being new to the UK has made it even more challenging socially. I can speak English, but sometimes I still struggle with knowing the right words to say or what topics to talk about, which makes me feel even more self-conscious.

Now that I’m a mum, I really want to become more social for the sake of my baby. I don’t want him to grow up feeling socially awkward or shy like me. I’ve tried meeting up with my antenatal group, but I didn’t really connect with them. I also tried a church mums group and felt the same way.

Next month I’m planning to attend a sensory class and I’m hoping that might help. Has anyone else felt like this? Any tips or advice would really mean a lot.
