Mum to be wanting to make Blackheath friends!

Hi there, I am moving to Blackheath village with my husband and due in late November.

We don’t know anyone so I would love to meet some new or expecting mums!! Maybe for a coffee or anything else

I signed up to HappyParentHappyBaby classes (better than Bump and Baby?) already

Hoping to avoid the loneliness and solitary winter life indoors! So reach out if you’re in the same boat

Hey! My son’s 11 months and I’d love some little friends for him! Also would love some mum friends! Feel free to message me!

Hey girls 👋 we’re moving near Blackheath as well (between there and Kidbrooke) and don’t know anyone so my husband and I will be in the same boat! Not sure when yet, hopefully by Christmas latest 🤞🏻 but would love to chat and meet up, message me

Hello there! I live in Blackheath as well and expecting a baby boy in Jan 💙 Would love some FTM friends in the area for a coffee or a walk or just some good conversation. Feel free to message me.

Hey! I had my baby girl mid October and also keen to connect and meet up with people locally. had a good idea for WhatsApp group maybe? Would be easier to set up a walk or so some day if we all are on maternity 😊

mommy friends

y’all are boring to talk to 😭😂 like damn, i just want friendships where the conversation actually flowssss. i don’t wanna feel like i’m carrying the conversation or i’m the only one being open & actually trying. ask questions, tell stories, share random shit, let’s skip the awkward small talk & talk like we’ve known each other forever 😂 i wanna feel like i’m talking WITH you, not interviewing you lmao.

When did you first go out?

For something small like a coffee or short walk around the shops

Contractions tracker app

Hi! For the mums who have already given birth, what contractions tracker app did you use and would you recommend it?

Time off work to care for sick toddler

Hi mums,

My wee one had to be picked up from nursery on Wednesday afternoon and we ended up in A&E with 40C fever (my wee one is 15 months old). I then told my employer and told them that I’ve to take off the next few days. In total I took two days and the weekend (weekends I’m off anyway). We had a chat about me taking off to take care for my child but it was very vague. My wee one is still having slight fever and cold symptoms and she’s supposed to go back to nursery tomorrow and me returning to work. Obviously, as long she’s having fever I am feeling very uncomfortable not caring for my child. I’m trying to find out what the general rule of law is in Scotland when it comes to taking off to take care of your children. I can’t really find anything, I’m not expecting to be paid but I’m worried to call sick for another day tomorrow (partner can take over from Tuesday). Anyone any guidance? Thanks 🙏🏻

Leaving baby over night

Baby girl is about to be 10 months, I have never left her for a night and have only left her during the day for a few hours. She is very attached to me, which is normal. But my partner and I have been struggling in our relationship lately so he wants to book a night away next week for us to spend some much needed time together but I know my baby won’t settle during the night (she doesn’t sleep through the night yet and will typically only resettle if I go into her). I feel really pressured to leave her which is making my anxiety worse (I have PPD and anxiety so I know my feelings are heightened). I know if we go I won’t relax or enjoy it because I’ll be worrying about our baby settling

Am I being over dramatic?

Where’s my yappers at?!

I need someone to text back and fourth all day! Now I get, we get busy and things like that. I work and have three kids, so I totally get it. But I just want to yappppp about everything and anything! I feel like as soon as I give my number out, everybody disappears😔
