First time moms, how did you get through the loneliness? Like I barely hear from my friends now. Making friends have gotten even harder then before. HELP!

I didnt have friends before getting pregnant nor did family really check on me so nothing has actually changed for me

Get involved with other moms! Look for support groups in your area, mommy and me workout groups, library story times etc. You will meet your village 🫶🏼

I felt the same way! I feel like dynamic changed with motherhood which is quite sad. I guess that’s one of the reasons i joined the app too. It is helpful getting to know other mums and potentially those going through the same or similar things as our babies develop.

Isn’t that what we are all on this app for? Hang in there!

Idk I’m pregnant now and I don’t have any support (maybe 2 people ) no friends or family and it really sucks plus I wanted to make friends with other women who understand what I’m going through right now

If you read, the best place I’ve made so many friends is book clubs! Bonus that there’s already a topic to discuss so you don’t have to awkward small talk

I looked at his phone.

Since I got pregnant, my partner has been very secretive with his phone. Before, he was fine with me looking over his shoulder when he uses his phone but recently when I try to ask him who he was messaging, he would just put his phone away. There is this online friend that he started playing video games with during my pregnancy. They would play until after midnight so sometimes I would ask him if she was really just a friend and he would say im just being a paranoid jealous. I thought maybe I was but the thought of him cheating remained at the back of my mind.

Last night, I was in so much pain, and barely able to move at all. Meanwhile he was just stuck on his phone, said nothing at all, didnt even ask how I was doing.

I woke up around 2 am and he was asleep, his phone was near me and his game was on so his phone was unlocked. For the first time ever, I looked at his phone without him knowing. Looked at messages and i saw him texting his friend with I miss you. He also said 'I like you sorry just have to say it' and the last message being 'i could have woken you up by talking dirty to you' . One thing that irks me with his texts was it always ends with x with her but never with me or anyone else.

I know or I believe he hasnt physically cheated on me but this level of emotional cheating made me realise I was right all along. This is why he hasnt cared about me or my wellbeing since I gave birth, its because he likes this friend.

Partner cheated on me

My partner cheated on and around Christmas time i found out but i was also very early pregnant. Anyway the usual i’ll change behaviour and all was fine. The girl he cheated on me with messaged me today as she couldnt get hold of him and told me theyve been seeing each other for months again. I had a 12 day old baby and a nearly 21 month old daughter. I really dont know what to say or think anymore

12 days pp
