Lonely
Is anyone finding maternity leave lonely? My partner works nights and is doing loads of overtime. We haven’t got much money so can’t afford baby classes etc. and I’m not feeling up to go going out now. I was a few weeks ago.
I spend most of my time doing washing/ watching tv: family and friends are too far away.

Can you get to free baby groups? I haven't paid for any yet (apart from mummy fitness class) but have been to stay and play type groups - a good place to meet people and just have a chat to other adults! You might find you're more up to going put once you've done it. It's easy to get stuck in a run of cleaning / tidying and feeling pretty miserable about it. Maybe try online fitness workouts too and going for walks x
Its hard to get out when the weather is a bit meh and you're ot feeling it, isnt it, feel the same sometimes. Check out your local library for rhyme time or stay and play sessions, they have new parent connect things too.
