My little man is 2 weeks old today! I have a very supportive partner and family on both his and my side BUT I have feelings of loneliness even though I’m surrounded by family and friends! Does anyone else feel lonely or is it just me?

Yes I do

Loads of the time! Especially during the week when it’s just me and the baby! I think most new moms feel that way at some point. I found that things got easier once my boy got a little bit older and it was easier to get out the house. I try to make sure I get out everyday (even if it’s just a walk to the shops) it makes a massive difference.
I’m the same though, lots of supportive family etc....it’s a funny feeling isn’t it? Like you feel ungrateful for even admitting it.

I still do and my daughters are 3 years old and 11 months old. Now im expecting our third girl and I know that feeling will continue. It's worse when we are surrounded by friends and I'm left caring for the kids, not getting to hang out with the adults.

Yes! My daughter is almost 11 months and I still feel lonely. I think partly my own doing, as I have a tough time opening up and letting (quite literally) anyone in close

Hes adorable

Same here. My boy is 17 months, and I still feel alone sometimes. It must be even harder with COVID. Hang in there. And he is adorable!

Omg he is adorable!!

I always feel incredibly lonely and being 8 weeks pregnant during a pandemic isn’t helping

Yes, you’re not alone. This global pandemic isn’t helping new mama’s at all ☹️

Firstly, congratulations!
Secondly, I feel you on the loneliness. I'm a sahm to an 8 month old and it feels suffocating sometimes. Please keep in close contact with your doctor to monitor for ppd and ppa, because those can and will be debilitating. Much love to you❤

Me, I’m in the same exact situation. Oddly, i feel better when I’m alone with my baby than when people are here.

Yes I’m a single mom of twins who will be 2 in 2.5 weeks and I feel sooo alone and lonely.. have been since they were born 😞

This sounds like you are experiencing some post partum hormones/depressive feelings. This is normal, work through them, vent when you need too, communicate this with your drs, reach out, stay positive! It’s okay to feel that way, just have hope that it won’t last, and congrats!!! What a cutie pie!

Motherhood is lonliness it comes with it I’m feeling it

Hes beautiful x
