Hi, it's what it says in the title really lol. Me, my bf and my DD moved from Bury St Edmunds a year ago to come back to where he is from, Bromley. I do love it here and the area I am in, but just get so lonely when he is at work. I left all my nearest and dearest 100miles away and can't drive to see them. Occasionally they visit, and when my bf isnt working.he trys his hardest to get me there as often as possible. Thing is I really am trying to meet people, but after a year its still.not happening. Im usually a really outgoing person but feel like ive lost confidence and just get so lonely. Hardly any adult conersation and just same places I go to everyday just to get out. I am pregnant again and am due in Sept, am just afraid I will have nobody and it.terrifies me. My bf is very supportive bless him but don't like talking about it as he just blames his self and says he has let me down and h would do anything to make me happy. Anybody been in a simular situation? Or anybody got.any advice for me. Slowly loosing the plot.

How old is your DD? Do you go to any toddler groups etc with her to try and make friends? NCT do meet ups for second time mums too, worth a shot. Can you do evening classes (until number 2 arrives)?

Aw you poor thing. How old is dd? Congratulations on your pregnancy too. I met some of my long time friends through being pregnant. Have you tried the local mumsnetters section, I think there's quite a few around Bromley/Lewisham/Hither Green etc.

Does dp still have friends there? Do they have partners?

She is 3 years old. And I do go to groups, but am finding it hard as I am the youngest there usually and I think the other mums are a bit put off by my age, which is a shame. Evening classes is a good idea, I will have a browse for some. Think it's all just hit me really hard as I am so used to having loads of people around me. It's very overwhelming.

My dp has friends here, but they work all the tim, and are mostly single males. I will definately try the local mumsnetters section, thankyou for that suggestion. And thanks for the congrats, we are both very excited :-)

Hello! I'm in the Lewisham area as well and I've found that there are loads of groups to go to. The Children Centre's around here have a lot on.

How old are you OP as all the groups I go to have a wide range of ages and I've not found it to be a barrier.

I go to a couple in Orpington and theres one down then road from me in Crofton as well as the usual Library ones. I am 21, and whenever I have tried talking to mums a bit older then me they have kinda looked down on me. Am thinking of checking out some different areas though just see whats on. Have had bad morning sickness and all that joy recently so been missing out on a few! Will try again when I get an energy burst!

Sweet bumping thread for you. Hope you're ok.
