making friends?

britibee

I recently got married and pregnant(actually on the same night ha).  We moved 2 and a hlaf hours away earlier this year and I never made any effort into making friends because we were always visiting home.  Now being pregnant, we don't go home as often and even when we do, I am the first one of my friends to have a baby. I feel like I don't have anyone to talk to besides my husband and to be honest, he's more clueless than I am.  If anyone has been through that same problem, how did you manage to make new friends in a new place while pregnant?

Start looking up pre-natal exercise classes? Yoga? Water Aerobics? Even in lamaze classes you could probably meet some other nice people who might be in your same situation. Good luck!

I am not in your situation, but i just wanted to say that sucks. ?I am so shy, and have a really hard time making friends at any time, so I'd be totally lost. ?I can imagine how sucky it is for you now.

im right there with you! We moved a couple hours away right before I found out I was pregnant. DH went from being unemployed to having 2 nearly full time jobs...and I am home, going to school and being a mommy.

I am a very social person...but I just don't know where to go to meet people, especially here. Its awful. And I am getting kind of sick of hanging out with DH all the time.

 It pretty much sucks huh!

I joined a mom's group....www.momsclub.org...it's international so I'm sure there's a chapter near you

We are relatively new to the Seattle area and I am just starting to want to make some new friends. 

Water aerobics - there are other pregnant women in my class.

Prenatal yoga?  Birthing/lamaze/breastfeeding class?

I don't know where you live, but have you tried meetup.com?  I belong to several local meetup groups and you can meet people with similar interests and maybe other new/soon-to-be moms.

Good luck!

Thanks everyone! I'm in the process of finding some classes around me to hopefully that will help. I'm just getting sick of only hanging out with the hubby all the time haha. It's just tough when you don't know a single person but him anywhere near you. I'm also trying to find a part-time job just to get out of the house(and I guess some extra cash can't hurt)

i'm in a similar situation. i stayed in my college town, and all of my friends moved away; shortly after, we got married and pregnant (in the same month) and i haven't made any other friends. the only people i "hang out with" are his family. the only time i get to socialize with people my age is when i'm at work. but they're more of the going out type and not the type to hang out with after work. i would suggest joining mom groups in your area, join a gym, or take a pre-natal exercise class. i know how you feel. it gets lonely sometimes.
