Motherhood And Covid

Do you still go out with your friends when you have a newborn? I feel lonely at times especially when none of my friends are mothers yet. I find it hard to explain my fears of the virus affecting my newborn, but I really wish I can meet my friends and have life back to normal again. I hope I am not the only one feeling this kind of fear.

Staying in all day with a newborn can be isolating, I feel you. I have a 2mo and I'm home most of the time. Maybe take small steps to see what works for you? Have you friends expressed anything to show that they are not understanding of your concerns?
