Should I just back off and leave her alone?

There are 6 of us in our NCT group and the babies are between 2 and 3 months old now.

We've all been meeting pretty regularly but there is one girl who is absolutely lovely who hasn't been to many meet-ups. SHe doesn't drive so getting to other people's houses is hard and we haven't seen her for a while.

Anyway, I texted her yesterday to say did she want to come to a meet-up in town (thinking she could get the bus). She replied immediately and said it depended if she could get a lift, so I replied straightaway and asked if there was a cafe near her that she could walk to and we could all meet up there as it would be lovely to see her.

Anyway, she didn't reply and I don't want to phone her now as it will seem like I'm badgering her. She also always communicates by text so seems weird if I were to phone her.

I don't want her to feel left out at all, but at the same time I don't want to make her feel like she has to be involved if she doesn't want to be.

I think she's really lovely, and I remember saying after our first session how nice she seemed.

Anyway - should I just leave her alone, or try to make more effort?

I vaguely discussed this with one of the other girls yesterday and she wondered if she felt left out as she is the only one who is not b/feeding. I am mixed feeding anyway though so she's not the only one using formula.

Should I just leave her alone, or try again to include her?

Thanks to everyone who replied.

We have arranged for me to give her a lift and she says she's looking forward to seeing everyone.

Glad I asked on here as didn't know what to do but you all gave some good advice.

It's hard to get on to antenatal courses but some areas have postnatal courses and/or tea groups
