Is anybody else feeling lonely and missing out?
FTM with 1 week old baby and PP is hitting hard. I know I’m going through baby blues but also scared it could be PND. I used to love journalling and gaming but since baby is born I’ve not been interested in doing anything or I’m too tired. I also have this fear I’m missing out on life outside motherhood right now, it’s making me lonely. Sorry, just wanting to vent.

I felt the same when i had my baby being a FTM too. I can assure u it gets better. It’s because you have this new life now. It will take time to adjust. Also after birth your hormones are all over the place. I used to leave my daughter with my mum and go out with my husband or friends, even for a few hours which i found helped a lot & i always came home with a fresh mind, missing my baby loads lol x
Echoing what the other ladies have said; it truly does get better. I didn't start to enjoy this new chapter until my baby girl was around 4mo. She's 10mo now & I absolutely LOVE motherhood 🥹🥰

The first few months it’s going to be like this since babies need their moms for everything. As weeks go by you will find time to do things for yourself if you have someone to help out. Just keep reminding yourself that this is a phase and it will pass. As they grow bigger more they will sleep longer, play more (someone else can supervise) and need you less. You will find time for yourself but not this soon. It will get better each week though. Sending you love! ❤️
