Advice/Support
Hey guys so I’m 24 and I’m really struggling with my partner (also 24) being at work 9-5 all week, while I’m home with our 3 month old baby girl! It’s not the looking after her that affects me, just the fact I’m alone and always counting down until he’s home.
Also just so I do have an option to have some ‘alone’ time for even 5 minutes. My baby is defo a Velcro baby.
We relocated and I’m not near friends/family and trying to make friends, especially with similar age baby parents I’m finding hard. Also that many women in my new area already have their ‘groups’. If I’m completely honest i feel I wouldn’t even make an effort if it wasn’t for my baby, but I know she needs little friends so it’s definitely for her rather than me at the moment.
Is anyone else in a similar boat 🙏🏼 just feel a bit lost/lonely and tired, and fairly guilty that I feel this way not only for my baby but for my partner who worries when he’s working.
Thank you ❤️

Same here! We moved a week before I gave birth and no friends or family nearby at all. I'm in Maidenhead if you're anywhere near by chance 😊 baby and Mum groups do help, sensory classes and basically things that fill up your week with things that are 'scheduled'.
I also feel the same. I've struggled this week with loneliness. I have friends nearby but they all work in the week so I don't really have anyone in the week. I've tried to make friends within baby groups but no success. Where are you based x

I also just relocated to a new area, no family no friends so I completely understand how difficult it is! I try and get out at least once per day and I always plan to do one 'fun' thing per day at home... So baking, exercise or an activity of some kind. I definitely watch the clock for my partner l, but then I always feel like I have something to tell him! I hope you're okay though and if you need someone to chat to in the day, just send me a message 😊❤️
