20 weeks. I’ve been alone in this the whole time. No one wants a part of its life or mine. The weight of the world is too much. I feel the kicks as I lie here, as I try to will my heart to just stop. I know this is only a chapter of my story. I know I have whole lives depending on me, and only me. But if there was a...

I was lonely before I was pregnant but now I’ve had baby it feels so heightened. I see everyone going out and enjoying themselves and jealous of my ex (baby dad) who is living the life not worrying about the baby who I’m raising alone and I just feel so depressed, I haven’t got one friend and I’m just so alone 😭

I try to be kind to everyone I encounter or know. I don't know their story, nor do they know mine. But I believe everyone deserves kindness... until they don't. 😉

I’m 14 weeks, first pregnancy and I have a partner. Lately I can’t stand him being around all the time and generally feel very lonely with this pregnancy. Is this normal?

Anyone else feeling lonely. Like they never leave the house other than for family stuff or a school run 😭 My two baby’s Hugo 4 & Heidi 3 months 💙🩷

I've just moved to Ifield and have very few mum friends. Really suffering with PND and could use some mum friends to talk to/meet up and get out of the house. My LO is 8 months

Could you let us know some of the positives you’ve found being back at work? I see so many posts about people dreading it and I think it would be nice to see a good perspective 😊. Personally work was a big part of my life before and I was proud to get to where I have. It sort of feels like there is a tiny piece of…

I’ve lost all my friends, my relationship is on verge of ending, was made redundant before being of mat leave, and can’t fit in anything still with baby weight. I love my kids and put them first but I feel everything else around me has crumbled since pandemic and I need to start all over again, I just don’t know ho...

The one cause I'd love to support for the rest of my life is mental health, especially for mothers. Art can be a big help in that department. Does art help you?

I had been working a WFH job that I loved and was going great, but I didn’t tell anyone about it because I didn’t want any negative energy projected on to my situation. Well this past weekend I finally began telling people about my job and how great it was, and come Monday I was removed from the project with no warn...

30 weeks pregnant and oh my gosh I am feeling so alone. Feel like my mental health is really bad at the moment 😢

Hi everyone, I'm a full time mummy with a disability and ASD. I have two children, a girl who is 6 and a little boy who will be 2 in August. I made some lovely friends when my daughter was little but they all work, but I have struggled to connect with anyone since having my little boy. I go to baby groups alone and ...

I LOVE my son and I prayed hard for him for seven years. I’m so thankful he’s in my life and he brings a smile to my face everyday. BUT I also miss being able to get away with my husband whenever we wanted to, being able to go out and do things just the two of us, sleeping in for the heck of it. Our second anniversa...

At only 6 months old and summer approaching, I feel stuck, lonely and unsure of myself and my child. I know this may sound weird but I'm TRYING to make the best of it. At 6 months old, my daughter is ALMOST sitting by herself with no incidents. She doesn't like to be alone and I feel like I'm always having to entert...

Does anyone struggle with feeling so lonely. I’m almost a year postpartum and ever since I became pregnant last year I became like insufferably lonely. It makes it worse when I want to do things with people and they constantly have other plans. I would post this to fb but you get fake comments about “praying for you...

Coming into this new journey of being a single mother. Not in the best place mentally so it’s been a tough week.

I feel so alone right now, I feel like I have family and friends but no one else who is pregnant who gets it or wants to be friends. I don’t know, not even my partners sister or cousin include me when they talk about pregnancy stuff at events, it’s like I’m not even pregnant to his side of the family, and all my fri...

I know this sounds stupid as I only have one child and most have more but I’m just finding it really hard. You are superwomen who have more ❤️ When does it get easier and how to you handle the hard bits?? LO not long turned one and I’d say the last couple of months I’ve found the worst. I think we are just in t...

I really wish I could just pick up and go! Like pack up my shi* and move away. It's just me and my baby and my 1 income, so idk how realistic that would be for me to do. I'm just tired of living here. It's not all bad, but there's nothing here. Yeaaa I'd miss my fam but that's not enough, u know? I feel like I'd be ...

Does anyone else feel this way? I honestly find it so hard and these last couple of months especially. Everyone saying how much easier it is but I think the opposite. Sleep has gone so far backwards and we weren’t even sleeping through, meltdowns are just insane and although LO only wants me they are they grumpy w...
