What are we doing during the days to entertain ourselves…
First time mum to a 12 week old and it’s so lonely as friends don’t have babies yet. What are people doing to get out of the house other than walks 494838x a day?? Does anyone else feel like this? I dread the days my mum or mother in law aren’t around to come over for just adult conversation and find myself just clock watching for my partner to get home. I’ve got some trial baby classes booked but not for every day and just find myself very bored and lonely 😢

@Carla yes sorry I mean mum and baby groups like baby massage etc. I never expected for maternity leave to feel this lonely!
Maybe there are some Facebook groups you could join ! I'm in Ontario and we have some mom Facebook groups where people organize meet ups for walks and cafes. We also have these free drop ins in rec centers where there are a ton of moms and babies of all ages ( called EarlyOn)
I literally do everything with my baby and have done since very young. I go out for lunch, shopping days, to the zoo, sea life centre, country houses, country parks in another city. The beach. Just anything and everything to get out of the house. Day trips I love. You can do anything with a baby x

When you say baby classes do you mean mum and baby groups? Definitely have a look and book them in for twice-ish a week. I’ll try and book at least one other day in the week seeing a friend who maybe works part time Otherwise as you say - walks but definitely listen to podcasts, voice note friends etc.
