Loneliness

Does anyone else feel extremely lonely at the moment with this pregnancy. Only me and my partner know and I’m 5 weeks currently. We’ve agreed to wait till our 6 week scan and then we can tell our mums but I just feel like I don’t have anyone apart from my partner I can talk to about this and I don’t feel like he can understand everything I say as a man..

Totally feel you, we’re advised the 12 week wait and I totally get why but the first 3 months can be the hardest, you feel and go through so much and you just do it pretty much alone, men don’t get it fully and that’s not there fault, but just someone else to talk to helps so much. Everyone conversation I feel I’m having I go to say something and then realise I can’t, feel sick can’t say why, feel tired can’t say why, friends ask to go out for a drink again can’t say why 😂 it’s hard and I agree it can be lonely.
I hope you are ok and this app is a great place to not feel alone, it will be worth it in the end that’s what I tell myself lol 💖 x

What are your thoughts on Tonie boxes?

I'm going to a 1yo birthday party soon and I'm looking for some gift ideas.
What do you think about Tonie boxes?
Are they good or is it mostly just marketing?
would that make you happy to receive one?
would it be suitable for a 1yo gift?

thanks ladies!

Boyfriend's Co-worker

Ok ladies, please be honest. How would yall feel if your boyfriend told you that a woman that he works closely with, who he talks about several times a night every night already, was the "nicest woman he's ever met in his life". It really hurt my feelings and he thinks I'm being ridiculous. Would you be ok with it or would you feel hurt?

Looking for my bestie 👀

Hey all! I'm Jade, I'm 29 from Australia,
I'm honestly just looking for a bestie I can talk to about everything.
I have 3 special needs kiddies and I just love a good chat, messaging, voice notes, calls, or walks if you're close.
Would be down for any messages!
(Don't judge my horrible hair, I'm growing it out after rocking a buzz cut 🤣)

Follow up question: did anyone skip playgroups when your other children were newborns?

Based on my other poll about bringing ACTIVELY sick children to playgroups, did any Mum's skip playgroups when your other children were newborns? Due to the lack of proper judgement from others, I plan on skipping all playgroups for the first few months after our 2nd is born (probably until he is 4 months). To me it isn't worth the risk at ALL, rather not have one person's choice equal to a hospital stay for us. Just wondering if any other Mums have done something similar? Also es I am aware I can leave our 2nd with my husband and just take our toddler... But he can still take something home with him, so again not worth it
