A woman has faced backlash from a friend after bragging about her own popularity with her new social group after giving birth. The friend took to Mumsnet to explain that she has felt quite isolated in recent years after moving away to a place where she did not know many people.
In the post, she explained: "I have had a tricky maternity leave with an initially very challenging time, as my baby had colic and reflux".
"I also had a prolonged recovery from a very tricky birth. I was quite socially isolated for the first 6 months and my usual support system was scattered as they had their own stuff to deal with."
