Meeting other mums

check out groups with the hospital/clinic. Or just some general interest groups eg craft etc

Check with your local council. Mine had an 8 week program for new moms. Over the 8 weeks they covered various topics but also gave us the chance to meet other new moms in the area. 2 years on, 9 of us still meet every Thurs. It has been a lifesaver having a group of women with children the same age and we are all on No 2 now.

When you are a bit more settled with bubs, you may want to check out playgroups. It gives you the opportunity to meet other moms and keeps little ones occupied at the same time.

You can try your local child and youth health, they run a mums group for first time mums and are located all over adelaide (if you are interested book early as I have heard they can be hard to get into but I did not have an issue). This is what I did and still meet with my mums groups when we can find the time (our babies are now two). Once you have your baby - depending on the hospital - they will give you information on mums groups.

Also there is a page on facebook thats called adelaide mummy meetings where a random place over adelaide (they alternate areas and places) is selected such as a park and everyone free to attend. I personally have not attend any but know of people who have and enjoys them.

Thanks for all your ideas! I have looked into a few and looking forward to the arrival of bubs so I can start attending smile 1 week to go! wub

if you feel up to it, you might be able to go prior to bub's arrival and then you would already know a few people..just a thought. And wishing you all the very best for the birth and your new life as a family! smile

Hi - Yes check with your local Council and also your Maternal Heath Nurse as they will have 'events' meetings, playgroups etc all organised ready for Mums to attend if you wish too. Our local Library also had reading, ryme time and fun things for little ones of all ages including new bubbas. Good Luck and enjoy the new Mums and bub you meet.

There is a website called meetup.com you can join the mother group there in your city, or even set up your mother group and events and other mums will contact and join you. I find it very useful to know other mums.

Join an exercise group that is aimed at parents & kids. I go to a Mum's and bub's yoga class once a week...you can meet other Mum's, get out of the house and get some exercise at the same time.
Otherwise, google playgroups in your area, or go to a children's play centre and strike up a conversation with someone there....Good luck! I hope you meet some lovely people soon!

i found most local libraries have days for mother groups. that was a great place for me to meet new parents.

there should be mothers groups where you are ask around so you can join one of the mothers groups i heard that its really good smile

Have you checked for Playgroups, Mothersgroups, Mums and Bubs fitness myabe I met a friend of mine at a walking session it was aesome. We have an amazing Playgroup if you dont like the first one go to another and another till you find one that fits your needs. I move around alot so have to make friends quite often and this time am not working so had to find other avenues. Hobby groups love new bubbas and you might get a little break, I hope this helps you out
