Anxious about being alone
Show your support
You have to make the effort to make mat leave friends. Peanut, baby groups, just random people in cafes. We're all in the same boat!
I did an NCT course with my first and spent so much of my mat leave with the mums I met there. Highly recommend antenatal classes for that reason alone!
Honestly I didn’t feel lonely at all. I did go to groups and still met up with friends/family, but half the time it was just me and baby out and i absolutely loved it. I took him everywhere with me. We’d go shopping trips, zoos, walks to different parks. I visited so many cities on maternity for day trips. We started when he was so young and it was just so nice. I felt so much more overwhelmed in the house x
Happy to meet up for coffee anytime. Pre or post baby xx
Go to pregnancy groups if you can. I met some amazing women at pregnancy yoga and met up with one for coffee last week. Also when baby is here you can join baby classes etc. I can’t lie it can feel like such a lonely world at times but you can meet new mummy friends and you’ll create such a unique bond especially if their little one is at a similar age 🥰
