Loneliness.

Hi all! This is my first time ever posting so let me introduce myself! My name is Timberly & I became a mama in July 2025! Shortly after having my son, I was diagnosed with pp preeclampsia which has left me in a DEEP health anxiety spiral for many many months. I’m scared of doctors, getting my bp taken, getting sick & this has also left me with feeling very alone most days! I’m not sure why I’m posting this I guess just looking for someone who can relate? I don’t want to waste my breath anymore on the anxiety & worrying when I could be spending more time with my son!! I have many months of feeling great & no worries & then boom… it’s back lol anyways! I have a sweet baby boy who is 15 months old & the funniest little boy I know so something very amazing came out of all of this. I had a friend come hangout with me once a week but it’s been busy for everyone & it being the holidays it makes it a little more difficult🫠

Hi it’s nice to meet you and it’s very brave for you to share your feelings !
I’m pregnant and I have some crazy health issues going on which led me to be more alone and isolated ( I don’t want anyone to see me when I’m in that state ) some days are good while others are not. I feel you on that feeling alone part ive been feeling that too. Life does get busy for everyone but , hang in there!!!! I can deff relate minus my kid not being born yet. 🩵

Hi Timberly! It's nice to meet you. I can relate to what you are going through, so you are not alone.

Our little one was a bit of a miracle as I was told the odds of me getting pregnant naturally was very very low and with a history of recurring miscarriages, I was very surprised to find out I was pregnant last year. However, I also had a lot of health complications that left me reliant on my other half to take care of me.

Now my little one is nearly 9 months old and I have crazy postnatal anxiety, I feel like I have not got my strength back since the pregnancy and birth and most days I feel so exhausted that I get worried I can't safely look after my baby alone... But what are you supposed to do, you need your partner to work and you need to look after the little one so they can. I have good days and bad days but I feel like I am very much in the thick of it and I just want to know when this cloud will lift and I will start to feel like me again.

I hope this helps you feel a little less alone 🩷🩷

How do you breakup with them…

When I got pregnant with my partner, I’ve had this intuition I’m not in love with him. We now have a 7 month old, besides not being in love with him I also am unhappy with him (lots of fighting and just realizing who he is, I don’t want to be with him the rest of my life, etc.)
I plan on discussing with a family law attorney, but how do I break this to him?
Like hey so I don’t want to marry you. I want to do 50/50 or 70/30 (since I do more parenting)
I’m just scared how he will react and afraid to hurt him…. What’s a good way to explain this to him without him getting too upset and starting an argument?

Anyone else sad that they can't be a SAHM?

First time mom due 3/27.

I am so sad and disappointed that I can't be a stay at home mom. That is something I want so bad, at least the first 2-4 years. Unfortunately, my income is needed to pay our bills.

I hate how the U.S. treats and views maternity leave. I don't think I would feel this strongly if I had at least a year off. I'm extremely lucky to get 12 weeks paid as is. :/

Second time working mamas, how did you deal with this?
