SAHMs how are you meeting other mom's

I know that DS is only a month old, but I have no mommy friends. We just moved and don't really know people, so it's time to get out and start making mommy and baby friends. What are you ladies doing? I know I could do yoga or baby gymnastics, but I'm wondering how worthwhile those will be when he's so little. I do go to a new mom's group at our hospital, but so far it doesn't seem social so much as a support group for people just to talk and vent.

Eventually I plan to take him to story time, but now he sleeps so much that I don't think he'd even care. Same story with parks, etc. Just wondering!

    I go to a mommy and me group at the hospital. Try giving it a little time. I went when I had DS1 6 years ago, and at first I viewed it the same way. However, after a couple sessions, I began meeting more people and we started setting up playdates. I actually still talk to 2 of those moms on occasion. I just went to my first one this week and didn't feel any connections with other moms, especially since all their babies are a little older, but I'm going to stick it out.

    I also am friends with many of my neighbors. Try going out and walking baby, strike up some conversations with neighbors you see on your walk that look about your age. DH and I did this shortly after we moved in, which is how we became friends with many of ours. Now we have game nights, and other things at least once a month (kids welcome).

    I think the yoga would also be great!  That is something you could do with baby even at a young age. He may still be a little young for gymnastics, but I'm not sure.

    I completely know how you feel. I'm waiting until she's mobile and more responsive to do Gymboree / My Little Gym / yoga / music / story time / whatever else I can think of lol. For now I've really lucked out - two of my mom's neighbors, DH's coworker and a woman who shares the same name as me and lives 20min away all had babies relatively close to when I had Aubrey. I'm hoping to build friendships with these women. GL!

    www.meetup.com

    I met a fantastic moms group through here.  I live in the Houston area and there was a lot of groups to choose from, but in the smaller town I lived before there was only one mom group and they didn't stay together as long.

    Have you tried meetup.com or your local bump board?  This was how I met people when we moved to CA.  I joined a Mommy & Me walking group through meetup.com thinking since the focus was more on the mommy's part I would get a chance to talk to the other women instead of just working out. 

    One other way I've started talking to other women who have babies (I wouldn't consider us friends just yet) is through the wives of DH's coworkers.  He's been talking to other new dads at work and has given my email to their wives.

    Is there a local church(or synagogue) that you might consider joining?  My church has a mom's group that I am going to start attending at the end of this month.  I would also take some of the pp advice and look at meetup.com.

    There is a moms group in town, and a story time at the library.  These will be my only way to meet other moms.

    I live out in the country so meeting my neighbors is out of the question, that and no one any where near us has a baby or toddler they are all in high school.
