Has anyone actually made any mom friends since having their little ones? I've made 0 and actually lost most friends since before baby.
I feel so alone and baby groups are always full of cliques 😭

I haven't either even when I go baby groups it seems groups of friends go and don't interact only people I talk to is mum and sister 😂 x

I only did at groups and turns out one was my next door neighbour 🤣. I've found that yes there may be clusters but most are open to new people too and we now all mingle and chat. I've started a new one alone and I just chat and I'm nice and people seem to open up a little but I use like a script to help I've made up in my head and it's mostly asking about their littles first and no yes no questions to keep the convo flowing 😅. They were my worst nightmare before a baby but she helps as she's so open and sociable it forces me to, I've absolutely birthed an extrovert and I'm an introvert typically hahaha x

I haven’t I’ve also found most the mums at the groups are a lot younger and go with people they are already friends with and only chat to them

Message if you fancy a chat xx

I haven't 😑 but probably that's my own fault as since I have a baby I'm anxious about everything. Finally I'm feeling better as I'm back to work part time. Tomorrow we are going to baby group first time 🤞🏼

I’ve made like 1 and like you said I’ve lost more than I’ve made. I’m now pregnant with my second and finding it so so lonely because my partner works all day and it’s just me and my baby alone all day and I’m exhausted with being pregnant. I tried a baby group a couple times but my anxiety stopped me going back because like you say they’re just so cliquey and it made me feel awful and gave me really bad anxiety

Hey! I’m from the same area as you, I can recommend one really friendly and welcoming baby class. I had to stop as baby went nursery but after trying a few classes previously, I can honestly say it’s the best class ever! Everyone takes the time to get to know each other.
Also happy to go for a coffee or take bub’s out on a soft play date.
Feel free to drop me a message x

I haven’t either. I got to play group on a Monday and I’m literally on my own whilst they are all in their groups talking. No one talks to me which sometimes makes me not want to go but I do because of LO. Lost all my other friends over the years. So I only have that 1, which makes it very lonely at times. Always here for a chat if you would like too x

I have a few from work. I made one from here but I'm so socially awkward and I have anxiety about new people/things even though I know usually everyone else is the same 😅 I haven't done any baby groups even though it would be great for my daughter but I feel like I would make an absolute tit of myself. Even going to softplay makes me feel like an idiot 😂

I've made a couple of friends from here! I was new to the area so had no friends in general 😅 and from baby groups I've had no luck in meeting friends 🤷♀️

@Kelly I have this but the opposite ! I'm only 22 and they're all like proper grown ups 😂 it makes me feel more like my daughters big sister than her mum

@Jessica dude me too! I just sit there feeling so awkward I'm the youngest there and the only one who isn't with a group , I only turn up because little one loves it and has made friends there . The only one I talk to is the instructor lady 😂

@Amrit I'd love too 🥹

@Stephanie I only go to softplay on My partners day off as I'm too awkward on my own 😂 so we just act like tits together
