On my 2nd Maternity leave with my 9 week old little girl.
Just realising how isolating this can be the 2nd time round. The 1st time I had met people at my prenatal classes and also met a lovely mum straight away at a local sensory group.
This time I didn't do prenatal classes, everyone at the sensory classes seem to know each other.
I didn't grow up in Bury and whilst I have made some fab friends here, there not in the newborn trenches and most work all week.
Really looking to meet some people with babies a similar age to meet up during mat leave (and hopefully after too). Walks, coffees, play dates.
Were brandleholme based but I drive and always up for getting out of the house so Bury/ Prestwich meet ups would be fine.

Hi Amy! I'm part of a WhatsApp group of bury/ramsbottom/Prestwich based mums that have regular meetups and I've made a few lovely mum friends through it! They've just made an insta page https://www.instagram.com/motherandmooncic?igsh=MXdmZ3UzaWV3azR6dQ==
If you message Sophie or Rachel that run the group through there they can add you to the WhatsApp and you can come and meet some of us if you like!

Just kinda wanted to follow up on this... not long after making this post I went on a walk with Wildmums- Manchester (find them on Insta) and honestly it changed my matleave experience. All North manchester mums, social events, free walks WhatsApp group. So anyone who finds this and feels the same, check them out xx
I'm from the UK. I was on full pay for 30 weeks and now on SMP.

Has anyone experienced their boyfriend being mean to them during pregnancy. I fear he is starting to resent me because he’s the only one working rn

We are almost there! What you miss the most? Is it some kind of food, the way you were sleeping?
I can't wait to have normal coffee 🤤
