Just so low and lonely

[Rhian101]

Ok, finally admitting to myself that it's more than just baby blues.
I moved house for my husband's work when 7 1/2 months pregnant. I was sure that I would soon meet people in antenatal classes but was soon told they were all full. I tried and tried to get into something but it was like banging my head against a brick wall.
I left my job and friends behind, my family are all in Wales and I know no one within 200 miles. MW and HV have been hopeless.
Love baby to bits but cry all the time and can't function properly.
Everyone else seems to know loads of mums but i feel completely shut out of it all. Beginning to get agoraphobic too.
Feel completely hopeless and pathetic.
Help.

just tired and stressed out!shes a little sod today!she tipped water on the laptop,then put choc buttons on the setee,i didnt realise and sat on them...had white chocky bum!!dried the laptop off,and she emptied milk onto it!!need bedtime to come quick today!!

Sounds like she's being a little monster! I have to say i do love the fact ds1 can't move around yet, all that still to come. Though I am looking forward to a full night's sleep at some point LoL

dd has never slept right through,ever.we think its got something to do with all the colours in her medicines.i'm still bf,and she wakes up 5-6 times anight for a feed.she doesnt go to sleep until gone midnight.shes just full of beans all evening.last night it was almost 2 am when she went to sleep,she woke up 4 times then was up at 6.15!no wonder i'm feeling so down!dh doesnt help,he says he'd be too tired at work.

Torture! No wonder you're feeling down! DHs can be very unsympathetic, lovely as they are, he may have to work, but you have to go through a day of looking after dd! You need sleep too. Do you manage to get any during the day?

no,got too much to do during the day.you wouldnt believe how much washing i have every day!think might try to designate some 'me' time tonight.will dh am going for long soak.eyeballs feel like they are going to pop i'm that knackered today!

Sounds like a good plan. Nothing quite like lying in a hot bath and shutting the rest of the world out for a bit.

Hi Emily and Stephanie
How are you feeling this week?
