Mum friends

Anyone else struggle with making other mum friends. Attending different baby groups and really struggle, plus everyone seems to know each other. Not being very successful on here and not sure where else. It’s sometimes lonely and hard seeing other mums out walking their babies together thinking I’d be doing something similar on maternity leave. Anyone else feel like this?

I found the council run groups useful to meet people and then when I went to the paid for baby classes it meant I knew a few people. It also helped me get into our local mum WhatsApp which is great for casual picnics, meet ups at the library, walks around the park.

I struggled with making new mum friends but l used my local weigh in & plays groups to meet up with other mums. Feel free to message me x

Have you heard of Light Peer Support? They're a charity supporting moms struggling with their mental health in the perinatal period. Honestly it's helped me so much, they do peer support groups, 1:1s, and walks. Everyone's lovely, and I'm glad to say I've actually made some friends from going. Also have a look at what groups the Family Hubs have going on, there are Baby & Us groups running regularly, which is just a pretty chilled 10 week programme. Again I've met someone I get on with there 😊 Feel free to drop me a message if you fancy meeting up for a cuppa x

I feel the exact same I don’t feel like I have any friends at all tbh it’s so sad like I am in with my little one all day x

My daughter is nearly 3 and I still don't have mum friends.
