I'm not really sure what I want to know, all I know is I'm sort of terrified of them and I need a bit of a kick up the arse reassurance, because I do want to go!
There's the young parents group, for under 22s. I am 22, but the lady I spoke to seemed to think that was fine. Now this is probably stupid but I was bullied a bit in school, and mostly the people I know of that have had babies at my age or younger were those girls or their friends. I do live in a different area now, and I know I shouldn't assume it'll be the same but I'm a bit worried I wouldn't fit in there, being probably the oldest one there and a bit of an old soul anyway!
As for the other groups, I'm worried no one will speak to me because I'm young! I know 22 isn't that young but I could easily pass for 17/18, and I read a thread on here where people were saying they wouldn't really speak to younger mums because they think they'd have nothing in common. Do most people think like this?
Also a tad worried everyone will know each other already and not be interested in making any new friends so I'll end up sat on my own, ds is three months so I have left it late-ish to start, I think.
Anyway I do know I'm massively over thinking this, so I need tales of going to groups where everyone is lovely and it was all fine, and probably to be told to get over myself and just try it!
