Feeling lonely

My partner has just gone out with his work friends and its made me realise ive never actually had time to see my friends and having a few drinks since having baby girl!
Im 9 months post partum and my daughter has stayed out at grandparents so me and my partner have time together but ive never been out with a girl friend!
All my girl friends are mums so I completely get finding childcare but I feel so bloody alone!! At 30 years old I still wanna be going for a cheeky cocktail.
Im just feeling MEH - I dunno what I wanna achieve writing this but just wanted to rant 😒🤦‍♀️

I feel you lol I'm due to give birth on Tuesday but I've been a mum for 14 years and well.. I have no friends 😅 I've had work colleagues, my partner's friends but never any of my own. I went out a few months ago to a former colleague's birthday party - left after 20 minutes cause I didn't know a single soul and felt out of place.
Kinda given up hope of ever having a social life to be honest lol and I'm only 31 myself 🤣
I gotta laugh cause if I don't I'll just cry

I havent gone out without my kids in 4 years. I dont even have dates with just my husband. I have no friends. It's definitely depressing sometimes but thats life. Just enjoy the bit of social life you do have as much as you can

Honestly get this! My partner goes out every few weeks with friends but his friends don't have children and are still into going on night out and just generally having 0 responsibilities. I have friends but we're mums so whilst my partner would look after ours so I could go out etc it doesn't work like that because nobody else is ever free. It's definitely a lonely world for us mums sometimes :(

I get this so bad but for me I resent him a bit because when he goes out he lets me know but when I go out I feel like I have to make sure everythings in order and check in that’s it’s good with him

Morning after pill?

Please dont judge. I gave birth 20 days ago and had unprotected sex yesterday partner didnt cum in me so would be day 19. Would you get the morning after pill or not? From everything ive googled it says i dont need to worry and chances are high from day 21 onwards? Im in two minds about taking it?

EDD Paid Family Leave

I signed up for the full 8 weeks of baby bonding. However, I didn’t receive a payment after 4 weeks and there are no pending forms. Has this happened to anyone? Was it easy to resolve?

New to Jersey🤍

Hi ladies. We recently moved to NJ and it’s so lonely out here for me. I literally have no friends out here 😢. I hope I can meet some decent women on here who also want meaningful friendships.

Xmas present ideas

What’s everyone getting there little ones for Xmas ? My little girl will be 20 months around Xmas time we’ve got her a few things already but I’m stuck on what’s good to get them at that age. She loses interest soo quick. Any ideas would be great!! Xx

Pregnancy workouts ?

So I’m 31 weeks today and I genuinely have not done a single workout since. You know, all the pelvic floor workouts they talk about. I’ve been so tired and lazy but I think it’s time to get serious. What are some workouts you are doing and please add YouTube links if you use YouTube. Thanks
