Lonely

[sam21901]

Does anyone ever feel lonely? like i love my baby son but i feel like i have no friends ever since i was pregnant and gave birth. would love to actually have some mum friends that understand me more

I understand :(, I feel the same. I feel like all I do is stare at the same four walls everyday. I love my baby but it’s stifling sometimes. How old is your little one? Are you planning any baby groups? Sending hugs xx

Yes, I think this is very common! Having some kind of plan everyday helps me, popping to the shop, baby class etc doesn’t have to be anything big but just breaks up the day.

Yes! I feel it especially if we have a bad night with DD 8 months ( which is most nights just now) I feel like I'm adrift and not got any real close mummy friends. It's tough some days are better. Think when DD is older things will improve

I remember those first few months like yesterday. I used the mumsnet local board to meet folk in a similar situation.

My dc are almost 12, ,10 and 6 dts, I've never really found any friends in that time. I have a dh who is totally a home/family man though so in that sense I always have him.

Dh has set me up with blind dates with his workmates gfs or dws, go to bingo/day out twice a year but otherwise nothing.

Take care of yourself

I totally get this OP. I was like it with my first. The days and nights felt like they blended into one. Have you got that app Peanut? I’ve never actually used it but I think it’s about making friends with other mums? Are baby groups running in your area?

thankyou for replying to my thread. ive not heard of the app called peanut but i will download it and i don't think so. my area is a tier three area so i would assume not.

i genuinely feel the same as you! my baby is just over a month old now and i'm not sure if my area is allowed to tbh. We are in tier three where i am xx
