Bless you. I used to have a nap after the school run when I was close to my due date, and had been on earlies at work. Put my eldest tea out and her the t.v. on for an hour. She was four though xxDefinitely had enough today, just me (32 weeks pregnant) and a two year old, whose definitely had enough. My husband is working 14 hour shifts so I've not really spoken to anyone face to face for 6 weeks.
Close to letting my parents take my toddler for the day so I can get some rest and things done
I've tried putting on some Disney plus so I can have a crafty snooze, but she's on to me and comes to wake me up. Other people have it much worse, but it's just getting to me today.
Theres someone worse of that everyone. If it's getting to you ask your parents. I know it's not reccomend and some people will bite my head of but you need to look after your self. Even if they have her a couple of hours every other day or something. As long as your all being sensible. I'm assuming they will be having her when your in labour? You could be in hospital a good few days for that x
Feel your pain, although I only have a very grumpy 6 month old that won't sleep and my husband is also doing long shifts. Really missing my mum at the mo!! Feel like I'm going insane only having a baby and a dog to interact with all day!!Definitely had enough today, just me (32 weeks pregnant) and a two year old, whose definitely had enough. My husband is working 14 hour shifts so I've not really spoken to anyone face to face for 6 weeks.

If you went to bed, instead of napping on the sofa, would she join you?
absolutely snap though my little one is 4 months. People said maternity leave was lonely but I didn’t expect this lonely! I miss my mum
Going to try a nice bubble bath and get her in my bed, sometimes drying her hair sends her off. Fingers crossed
Well I'm here if you need a natter! It's hard work, especially if your on your own or partner is working silly hours at the mo. Feel really sad I'm coming up to the end of my maternity leave and sort of worried when I do go back to work and he has to be left with someone he's going to be very clingy as he's not been left with anyone yet
I work in an office so hoping the government will say work from home for as long as possibleMaternity leave is lonely at the best of times, but this is another level. I feel for you x
My first was lonely but I used to get out to groups everyday. Even with those it was 6 months before I’d bonded with people to meet up with them. So being in this situation I can only imagine how you feel. Sending you hugs. I know it was a tough time for me as my husband works away from home so I was alone a lot but I did at least get to see family! I’ve just had my third baby now and I’m not lonely because the other two never shut up
but I am trying to enjoy this baby in a way I couldn’t with my first. There are also some baby groups running online so that might be worth looking into. And just be kind to yourself. People say oh you don’t get this time back, I found it brutal if I’m honest I was so worried all the time about everything. Do you have support from health visitors? My hv has said I can have weekly phone calls if I need it.Good luck! Or take her favourite book into bed with you and read it to her, that might help her drift off too x
The virus would be less irritatingNone of them. I’ll take my chances with the virus
yeah we had just started getting out to groups and things and then lockdown so it’s hard. I felt like I’d just started to get a bit of routine and structure and then it was gone.My first was lonely but I used to get out to groups everyday.

Thank you, I appreciate it.Well I'm here if you need a natter! It's hard work, especially if your on your own or partner is working silly hours at the mo.

I know that feeling, my husband is currently at home but nhs management so working 15 hour days so we don’t see him and aren’t allowed in the office. The kids have bombed a couple of his conference calls
it’s really tough but I figure I can either sit and get peed off about it (and believe me that feelings there) or I can snuggle my baby and try and soak it all up and think in a couple of years there will be other groups we can do. Which I do try and think but it’s hard not to be bitter I supposeI know the feeling. I'm not used to being at home every day either. My husband is a key worker so still out and about and I'm currently working from home.
No love no lynching here.Just for you guys, a pic of the Vejas on The RugI’m going now before I get lynched
hate this
