As the title says Where can I meet other mums?

Al ot of my friends are still partying and going out and totally not at the same stage and they never understand why I can't do things.

I am very fortunate that I have a few lovely friends who understand (Mrs Winterberry! ) and who also love spending time with me and Amelia.

It just this other circle of friends, are all just not even close to the same stage at life as me and speaking to them makes me fell so depressed and out of it What colour I can and can not wear to a wedding is no longer important on my to do list! )


So hook me up where do I need to go to meet some mummas!

My CHN organised 6 weeks of meetings with other mums in my area, and we have been meeting ever since (2.5 years later!). We started with 5 mums, but one went back to work and we don't see her often anymre, and one moved 450km away so there are only 3 of us left. But we still meet weekly, I really enjoy thier company and we all have boys the same age.

My other suggestion is join a playgroup. Even tho your bubs is still young, it will be great for you to meet other mums.

FJ: Oh but the plot thickens, I almost bought a gorgeous black dress today, only to find out that the OTHER bride of the other wedding I am going to has a "no black" policy at her wedding

We did have a mothers group, but it all fell apart. No one was interested in coming anymore and they thought it would be easier if everyone went their separate ways.

Pretty much any activity for you and Amelia.

I still have mothers group but I have also met other mothers through post natal hydrotherepy classes, rhyme time at the library and will soon be starting gymbaroo and swimming.

Oh and I have met some awesome people off forums as well. I have become really good friends with a few ladies I have met off a nappy website.

Just have to put yourself out there.

I second Vanessa, it's really about doing things for both you and bub.

When I was pregnant we moved back from the UK to where my parents are (which is not where we lived before) and we had nobody here but family and I found it really hard, but it really is about putting yourself out there.

I went to a playgroup when Dex was 5-6 months and stopped going because the kids were all much older and he was a bit young yet but went back later on and have found some really nice ladies that way.

I've met people at playgroup, kindermusic, swimming and now through kindy, it's hard to find people who share an interest in the same things as you outside of your shared interest in your kids but they're out there.

Oh and I-do, I don't know what I'd do without my i-do mums group girls, we don't see each other very often but talk daily online and text/phone each other if we need advice etc. Some days being able to vent to them is my sanity saver!

I met mums through the mothers group run through our maternal health clinic. Ive now moved interstate so its about putting myself out there. I am striking up conversations with people everywhere...so hard as I am such a self conscious person. We are starting gymbaroo shortly and will start attending all sorts of activities in the new term which will hopefully lead to meeting new people! I-do ando ther forums can be great for it!

Im in the same predicament except i never had a MG to go too. We moved when bubs was about two months, and i went on the mg waiting group but i missed out. I dont know too many people here and then got busy.

So now im looking at joining swimming lessons for DS, going to the library baby groups (although they are only once a month) and im also going to look into the local play centre that does sign language classes for bubs. I hope it works.

The best mummy I met and keep in very close contact with I met at sleep school when we were both going through similar crap.
Both bubbas the same age. Pity hers passed sleep school and mine....well failed misserably.

I go to a mothers group for women that have had PND, great bunch of gals who I now consider some of my closest friends - and we don't try to outdo eachother with the normal type of crap that goes on at some mothers groups

I also met other mothers through work and through my DHs work who we are now close with
