Anyone struggling to make mum friends or even make friends?

Since I’ve had my wee man and he’s turning 11 months old this month and all my other friends had their babies as well it’s like everyone went their different paths/ways and it’s like your left on your own and am I the only one that’s finding it so difficult to make friends?…

You are not the only one , my son just turned 11 and I am in the same position unfortunately. I go to the park with him and I see other mums together. It makes me feel really sad.

With my 1st I made a big group of friends on here and we met up all the time but thats kinda drifted off since nursery and school starting but with my 2nd I've not made any friends! Where are you based?

I would recommend going to local activities that your council creates for babies or also going to the library where they also do free things. I need to do these things for myself but haven’t managed to go yet . Also before I was scared of my baby getting something from other babies now he’s bigger will try to take him. I also saw there are these swimming classes for babies , it’s called water babies. But it is costly :/ so I still haven’t gotten into it yet. But I think it would be a great way as well. I hope it works out for the both of us 🥹🤞🏼

I've never had many friends my whole life but since having a baby I finally have a little circle. go to as many baby groups as you can! you said there's nothing for babies near you but a quick Google came up with tons of groups. message your friends with babies, even if they reply weeks later they're still there lol we are all in the same busy busy boat!

Urethra hurts

20 days since my elective and my urethra hurts, just standing or sitting, its hurting. I’m very wet down there too. I’ve been on antibiotics for 6 days for a possible UTI, and I also got prescribed a thrush cream as I’m also itchy, however it’s very red down there.

No one has tested my urine or checked etc. has anyone else had these symptoms? Do they go away on their own??

Friends🧍🏻‍♀️🫩

Hi everyone I figured I’d step out of my comfort zone and introduce myself since we just moved here and I don’t know a soul. I’m a stay-at-home mom who’s hoping to build a genuine community of kind, supportive women and moms. If I’m being honest, I’m a huge introvert, so making this post is definitely me pushing myself outside of my comfort zone. But I know meaningful friendships usually start with someone taking the first step. A little about me. I love baking from scratch, arts and crafts, texting throughout the day, FaceTiming, thrift shopping, browsing cute stores, beach days, being outside, trying new coffee shops, going on little adventures, and making simple memories with the people I care about. I’m happiest with good conversation, lots of laughter, and people who value genuine, drama-free friendships. I’d love to find friends who enjoy checking in on each other, planning playdates, grabbing coffee, exploring new places, or even just chatting while we fold laundry or bake something together. Building a village feels so important, and I’d love to meet people who are looking for the same thing. If any of this sounds like you, don’t be afraid to reach out. I’d love to get to know you

Looking for drama free friends

Hi! Southern California looking for friends without the petty mom drama. Everyone I've met just gossips about the others who aren't present that day and I'm honestly over it. Just want to meet people who are down to do stuff, want to hangout with or without kids, and shoot both fun and serious shit about life.

I’m just tired of being a single mom

First time mom to a 14 month old. Didn’t have the best pregnancy her dad didn’t make it easy on me . Trying to heal from postpartum depression & trauma.. cheating and abuse I endured. Grieving what could’ve been my family. I don’t even know who I am anymore outside of being a mom. Don’t have much of a village , I’m overwhelmed. Some days are better than others but today is one of those days where I’m just wishing that someone had my back. I think if anyone hugged me long enough I’d burst into tears . Motherhood is so lonely. Whenever I say I’m not okay people literally ignore me because “I’m strong” what will it take for someone to actually see and hear me
