Hello, my DD is now overdue which is amazing as throughout pregnancy have had health scare, development scare, possible early labour etc so to now be past due date is brilliant! We joined NCT and did antenatal classes and did hypnobirthing classes and I was part of another internet forum and did antenatal yoga but so far not made many friends.
I find making friends difficult at the best of times but did make some at both yoga and hypnobirthing but on them the people are not living in same area and we don't have a car anymore. NCT were really good from a class perspective but DH and I were youngest by over 10 years and didn't "gel" with anyone - the lease said about the other forum the better (hope this site regulates its members posts a little better and doesn't put up with abuse).
I just think it would be good to be able to meet up with other mum's for coffee and socialise a bit both for her and my benefit as she has to be the only baby for about 5 years - financial reasons mostly but as me and DH are 24 and 26 respectively there is no great biological rush to have more so we can wait the 5 years and then see - this little one is so wanted and loved already.
Any advice as I do want to make friends but am awkward and find new people and places scary without the potential aftermath of DD (please be nice though)... :)
