No village

Those of you that don’t have a “village” how do you handle everything? I currently have two under two. No close family. The friends I do have are unreliable and flaky and my husband is an over the road tuck driver and is only home 8-10 days out of the month. Every day it’s just me and my two kids. Maybe I just nee...

Feeling hopeless

Ladies, what do you do when you’ve entirely lost hope of ever being a Mum? Almost 2 years of nothing but negative tests. I met with a close friend and her baby this morning, and I drove home in tears feeling like I’ll never be a part of that world 🥺

Greatest mistake was having kids

I have 2 too many. I run my into the ground with work, I'm in school. Got into an accident. Kids got kicked out of school been trying for CAPS got denied 3 times. Brother told me no one owes me anythin. I feel trapped with my kids. Wish I aborted some days just so I could have a day to myself. I feel invisible.

And I just feel so alone and isolates with my baby. My bf works 65hrs a week and we barley spend time with him. Help!!! How do you guys make friend...

First time mum & loneliness

Hello I'm 34w and feeling pretty lonely at the moment. I know that's why apps like this exist for us mums to connect. And I'm so grateful for it!

Lack of support

Is anybody else struggling with a lack of support from family and friends. My parents are obviously excited but only seem bothered about themselves they never check in to see how I am or how I’m getting on, if I say anything about symptoms or anything my mum says been there done that get over it.

Feeling unprepared

I feel so unprepared for this baby, I already have 2 sons (one passed away at justover 1 month old)and a 2yr old but with both of them, I felt so much more prepared and organised, I feel like I have nothing for this baby. I feel like I'm drowning in all the stuff I need to do. Does anyone else feel like this?
