Same Sex Parents in Blackpool:)

Hi Guys,

Looking to meet some same sex parents in the Blackpool area. I’ve been looking and can’t find any family social groups etc at the weekends as I work full time during the week. Is anybody aware of any or interested in trying to set up a meet?

Look forward to speaking with you xxx

Hello :) Me and my wife are TTC and based in Blackpool, ive just joined Mumsnet from this post, as when we eventually get lucky enough to conceive it would be great to know you and Theodore (great name btw!) I work on the Blackpool Cabaret scene, and as great as it is to get to know more LGBT people in the area, you don't meet too many families!

Hi Vicky,

I’m sorry I only just saw this reply.

How is it going with TTC? Very exciting time, I remember it well.

Hi Scott,

Best of luck too you both. Coffee would be fantastic, we should definitely arrange something xx

Hi guys!! Sorry I've only just seen your replies... I came off here shortly after posting as we had a negative result month and then life took over. But... We got our BFP yesterday!!! So we're technically 4 weeks pregnant with a little peanut! It's early days yet but fingers crossed everything sticks and goes well!

Coffee and chats would be an amazing support, it's hard as the non bio mum... No one really prepares you for how you should feel. I feel like a scared dad haha!

@Theodoresmama @Scott2019 sorry, I'm new to mumsnet... I didn't tag you in the reply haha! Xx

Theodoresmama · 18/10/2019 18:55

Hi @TwoMumsOneWish oh my goodness congratulations!!

I know, exactly how you’re feeling being the non bio mum comes with a whole heap of challenges. I only came on here too to post this so I’m not great with how it works.

I’m really interested in trying to arrange coffee morning or something of the like to try and meet up with people in the same boat as Theodore and I xxx

@Theodoresmama thank you so much ♥️ it's still early days but it's all looking good so far! I would be so up for that, it would be lovely to know another family like ours. We haven't even had a scan yet and I'm panicking about finding an inclusive school haha! There's so many hurdles and things to get your head around isn't there..

If all goes as planned.. Baby will be due in June 2020, and I'd love to start a little family meet up day ♥️

I'll have to start logging in here more often so we can all keep in touch! I'm so happy to know there's people like you guys around here, I'm not from here so I don't know many people who arnt my wifes friends haha

Theodoresmama · 19/10/2019 13:26

@TwoMumsOneWish I only moved here 3 years ago as well so I don’t know many people either. Drop me a message anytime you’d both like to meet for a coffee. Xxx

@Theodoresmama that would be lovely :) I can't get my head around Mumsnet but if you want to add me on fb I will message you 😊 xx

Scott2019 · 29/12/2019 10:06

Hey both, little update on me. Hope you both had a good Christmas. I've been approved and matched. Will certainly be up for meeting for a coffee, but probably won't till we are settled down as a new family. Hope you're both doing well. 😊

Hi all,
We have recently had a little girl and have been looking for a group just like this. We would love to meet people in the same situation around Blackpool. This has been new for us and a huge learning curve Grin
Did any of you end up meeting up or finding a group?

Thanks
Michael & Scott

CatCalledMushroom · 20/01/2020 13:38

Hi all, Did you get anything set up? we’d love to join in. We’re two mums and have two little girls. We aren’t based in Blackpool but happy to travel.

TwoMumsOneWish · 22/03/2022 09:36
