'The people we love need more than a double tap and a heart eye emoji'

In general, new mums have said they found the first year of their baby’s life more tiring, stressful, and chaotic than they’d ever expected.

And almost two thirds say they believe other new mums do the same, and fear what they post online isn’t always a true reflection on how they are feeling – or coping. The study also found three-quarters admitted the first year of parenting was harder than they had thought it would be. More than a third also felt left out, and 32% said their peers didn’t know what to say or how to help.

New mum in tears after no one turns up at her baby shower - not even her motherNew mum Annie was left in tears after not a single person turned up to her baby shower, including her own mum who said she 'forgot' the date of the event Winter is coming... ...Winter is among us.... Maybe no one came cos if the baby gets covy, they don't want to get blamed for it. Or maybe the baby mummy is an anti vaxxer, & no one wants to come & risk getting covy from her, not even her mum. Basically, there must be some reason(s) why no one turned up. So what did you do to lift her up? You run these horrible stories that exploit people’s misery, but you never seem to do anything to help these people that you are using for clicks.
