I got fired from my job at the end of April when I was almost four months pregnant. I haven’t been able to find a new job (no one wants to hire a pregnant woman) so I’m at home by myself a lot. My husband works full time so obviously he has to leave during the day. I don’t have a lot of friends since moving states a...

Hey Just wanting to vent really. Just feeling so down with life atm. I’m sure many can relate. In particular my lack of village. I thought I’d have one. I have 3 sisters and my mum and they’re just not really that interested. I send pics of my baby and they’ll occasional comment and like but they’re not really the...

It’s a real scary thought. Right now I’m very dependent on my husband, and I think that is why I am afraid to step away. I’m just overall fucking nervous too. 1. I honestly wish we could work things out. But 2. I just can’t keep crying everyday hoping something changes. But I’m scared to leave.. and the guilt. The...

Any other single first time moms who been feeling lonely? Even when I’m around people I feel unwanted or like I’m being ignored or cast out. Just me or is anyone else feeling that too?

Do you ever feel lonely when your child goes to bed? Single mum who stays alone with daughter and it’s so hard when she goes to bed

Does anyone feel bad when their babies are playing alone and you’re just on your phone? Like I’ll get caught up with something on my phone and then remind myself to play with my baby but then I’ll see her content and having a good time so I remember the saying “don’t make a happy baby happier”. I also know Independe...

So I took my 11 month old baby to baby group session, it was nice and I was happy my little one was enjoying. But I don’t know it’s just me or its just like that , I felt bit left out , i was the only one to communicate and they just answer me and didn’t ask anything about my boy, so I was like that’s fine so i play...

Anyone feeling a little isolated? Prob struggling because of the hormones but it’s my first pregnancy after a couple of failed ivf attempts (third time lucky). Didn’t tell anyone this time round and it’s hard worrying about mc and also nervous about what’s to come and what’s happening in my body. Work from home a lo...

It feels to me like there are so many Mums doing it alone, feeling lonely and isolated - wanting to make friends but finding it impossible. No support network nearby. Feeling isolated. Just wondering, who feels like this?

Is anyone here as first time mom comfortable leave your baby to someone (family or friends) for half of the day?

Hi ladies just joined on here. Have birth to a little boy Arlo over a week ago. I feel so isolated and lonely. I have no family support and limited friends. The dad doesn’t want to know i just wanted to reach out

Anyone else’s depression hit an all time low 😭

Any words of encouragement ? I recently started a new job and I don’t like it. I need the money bad but it’s stressful because my training wasn’t the best so I get lost a lot. I’ve noticed that a lot want discussed during training. I want to quit so bad 😫. I have been applying to other jobs as well. I know that if…

I literally get so irritated when someone wants to come over (stress cried upstairs the other day), baby is one week old today and people (immediate family) come over try to wake him up or get annoyed that he’s not awake I’m like he sleeps 2-3 hours and is awake for about 45 mins… that is newborns! 😫

Anyone else feel like everything in the house is disgusting even if you deep clean every day?😂 I felt the same way when pregnant with my first child and it's so frustrating. I'm grateful that it's forcing me to get some type of physical activity, but it's so annoying to clean and still feel like you need to just…

I don’t know why I’m posting this. I just feel like I need to say it somewhere. I’m just so lonely & over the last couple of weeks it’s been weighing heavy. I was so social in my 20’s. I left a toxic relationship when I was 26, met someone new and moved to his town where I’d also secured a new job. But it’s only 4...

I feel so lonely and isolated. Our son is medically complex, has cerebral palsy, and physically disabled. When I’m not working, most of my time is spent either caring for him, taking him to his numerous appointments, or caring for our other child. I have no one, but my husband, to talk to. Family members help, but I...

Hey everyone! Is anyone else finding parenthood and life really hard right now? I honestly feel like no matter what i do, it isn’t good enough.. I’m really struggling with the fact my children are catching every single bug going, theres not a week when there isn’t something wrong with at least one of my children.....

‘ Also, there’s essentially no chance you’ll have to show proof you didn’t make a profit.’ I don’t get what no chance means?

Did you any else do all the baby groups but completely fail to make any mum friends? I wanted to make mum friends but am very interverted and struggled to make any. Most of the mums are leaving to go back to work now so I feel like I'm missed my opportunity, anyone had a similar experience?
