Mommy/Mommy-To-Be Group Anyone?

TravelingCouple

This board doesn't seem very active but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway...would anyone be interested in creating a mom group located in Orange County, NY? I'm currently expecting and would love to find other moms or moms-to-be in the area local to me. I'm new to the area and as those who live around here probably know, it can be hard to meet people. Feel free to post here or PM me if you don't want to post where exactly you live in Orange County.

I'm definitely interested! But I'm in Rockland County (Nyack) … what town are you in?

TravelingCouple

I'm in ulster county, near newpaltz. I have a moms group n Facebook called new Paltz area mommies that was great when I had DS and I plan to get events posted again soon now that I'm on maternity leave again!

i would love that but I'm in Westchester.

I'm so glad there's interest! I'm not sure how many counties we can include and still have it be convenient for everyone. Maybe we could split it into two groups: Orange County and Rockland/Westchester.

@heyheyklee I'd love to meet up if you're interested! I'm rather new to the area so I know very limited people around here. And out of those people, not one is pregnant! It'd be nice to converse with others in the same boat. I'll send you a PM!

Hi there! I am interested too! Would love to meet other mom's to be. Such a great idea!

Splitting is a good idea. Any Westchester/Rockland ladies let me know

Anything come out of this?  I live in Orange County--near Woodbury Commons--and would love to meet new people.

You ladies may want to check out Meetup.com - when I had my son, I met a ton of women through mom groups on there. Also, there is a Family Fun Day at the Nyack Center on September 28 that's going to have info on kids' activities and freebies and such.

Hi ladies, I have lost the baby I was carrying so I'll have to hold off on joining any group for a while. We'll be TTC again but I need to mend my heart first..wish you all the best.

I am so sorry for your loss. Best wishes to you

BabyToGo

I'm so sorry. My heart hurts for you, and I'm sending thoughts and prayers your way.

I'm so sorry to hear the news. Can't wait to see you back on the forum, hopefully very soon.

If anyone wants to meet in Rockland or the Rivertowns, I'm happy to set something up! Please PM me with your email address.

TravelingCouple

Thank you ladies for your kind words. It has been tough but I am anxious to TTC again. I'd still like to join and meet up with others who are pregnant/moms. I'd be happy to "lead" the group for the Orange County section, it looks like that would be me, @heyheyklee, @DianeW52512 and @rockyroad3, did I miss anyone else in/around Orange County?

Maybe one of you who is from Rockland could run a separate group?

@babytogo, I've checked out Meetup but they didn't have any mommy-to-be groups around Orange County. They have mom groups but for toddler aged kids. I'm not sure about everyone else but I'm a FTM. Obviously FTM, STM, TTM, Etc are all welcome.

BabyToGo

@lbw244 I'd be happy to help organize a Rockland group, if you like. Maybe a Mommy lunch at Panera?

TravelingCouple

I'm going to send a PM to the group of ladies here who posted they are in OC. We'll see if we can get something running! If anyone sees this after this message, please PM me to be added to the group.

Hello.  I live in Ulster and work in Orange (baby will be in daycare close to work).  I am definitely interested in meeting some other new mommies in the area.  My baby girl is about 6 weeks old. 

Traveling Couple, I am so sorry for your loss.
