Loneliness on MAT leave
The isolation of maternity leave is really getting to me . How are people coping ?
I have never really had close friends, my colleagues I get on with but as no more then colleagues. It’s always been just me and my husband, which I was fine with .
But now I’m not working , I used to work as retail manager so my job is built around talking to people, I just feel so lonely and it’s making me resentful of my husband.
Family live a good few hours away and my sister and sister in law are both currently pregnant.
How have people met mum friends or coped with this loneliness. My lovely little one is 15 weeks old .
Thanks

Yes been to a few . Just go and then leave once finished.
Baby groups, soft play etc. try and initiate chat with people they are all mostly there to chat with other moms too 💖
There are definitely mums there in the same position as you. X

It's hard, I understand. Have you tried going to any baby groups? They are good for the tots but better for parent socialising. X
