Hello there 
Basically just wanted some advice from fellow mums / mum to be's
I'm a FTM (Due 2nd August) and have been worrying a lot about friendship groups etc when having a newborn, I have been told it can be very lonely especially when partner goes back to work and having a good friendship group around you for support, days out, grown up talk is so important.. only problem being I have no one for that, I haven't kept in touch with a lot of friends from school I drifted from nearly everyone, went to college and have one very close friend and a few other friends from work however no one I would then meet up with outside of work.
I'm starting to think I'm the only one in this position and I don't want my baby growing up to be the same I know this can only change if I get myself out there and meet some mum friends.
Little about me - I'm 24, first time mummy due in August, having a little boy, live in the Low Fell, Gateshead area so plenty to do around me, been with my partner not that long, pregnancy very unexpected however so happy to be welcoming our little bundle in a matter of months!
I'm just looking for any advice maybe tips on how to meet others that are in the same scary position as a first time mum, anyone that lives nearby that feels the same, I'm starting to think I'm the only one without a large group of friends and as much as I'm gonna love spending time with my baby and doing things together I cant help but feel he will grow up to be same unsociable person as me and that's something I really don't want.. 
Thank you for any advice you can give me
