and flowers and friends' visits, sometimes the reality of being home 24/7 can hit you.
"When you’re a mum you’re suddenly thrust into a situation when someone needs your entire attention all the time – just to stay alive! Your baby can’t look after herself, she needs you to feed her, change her, make sure she doesn’t roll off the changing table...! So it’s really hard to be a mum as well as running around trying to do your “normal life” stuff too.
"When your baby’s really little, it’s easy to have lots of days like that, and sometimes you get to a point where you think “It’s just easier not to go out”. And when you start doing that more and more, it becomes an even bigger deal to go out, and you quickly begin isolate yourself. "Remember that friends can come in different all sorts of ‘shapes and sizes’ too! One of my friends has a daughter the same age as Pearl, so we do a lot of soft play and visits to petting farms – it’s lovely to have someone to spend that time with.
"Loneliness is not just the absence of friends, it’s an absence of people. Many women on maternity leave have left busy working environments – from schools, to offices, to shops – where they were always surrounded by people. Now, all of a sudden, they’re on their own at home, and the contrast can be really tough. Your world has changed completely and you’re not quite sure how to deal with it.
