Single mom

I am a 30 years old mom of a 2 years old cute boy, who is silly 😜 I don't have friends and wish to make one here. Life is hard as a single parent. At times, I do wish I could have someone to talk to, to cry to, and it must be someone who really understands the pain. I do love being a mom

Second Pregnancy Lonliness

Has anyone else ever experienced this? I’m 26 weeks pregnant and it’s been weeks and weeks since anyone reached out to check how I’m getting on. No one ever asks how I am. They will however always ask how my firstborn is and undoubtedly will be very excited when baby is born. Just feels like no one cares about how I...

Advice please (and a little rant)

I’m the first out of my friendship group to have a baby. I can’t help but feel really hurt that my friends keep leaving me out all the time. We were never a friendship group that went out clubbing or heavily drinking and for context we are a small group of couples. However since me being pregnant all they want to ...

Fear of death

Does anyone else have a terrible fear of death? Whether it be losing loved ones of dying yourself and missing out? My anxiety about it is crippling. I cannot, for the life of me, seem to shake it. I guess it’s fear of the unknown and lack of control. All I know is, it’s taking the enjoyment out of life for me and I’...

While being single and pregnant what are ways you comfort yourself?

I’m towards the end and I get so sad sometimes. It would be so much easier to just have someone hold you sometimes and tell you everything is going to be okay. I guess my anxiety is going up.

Who feels left out by the other mums while at the school gate waiting for it to open.

My son just started reception and I can see some groups forming. I can sense the bitchyness and the eye rolls when I walk in. One mum even walked straight passed me and said hi to everyone except me. Why is this even a thing. Why do I feel like I'm back in school. It's making my anxiety go through the roof. Today so...
