Have reached out a few times to expectant moms in my area who claimed they were seeking friends or other moms-to-be to augment their support system. Never get responses. What's the deal? Is it just me, or have other women here had this same experience?
I am having a hard time meeting more moms-to-be because I am a SAHM. Also I am having a C-section so won't be taking any birthing classes (a great place to meet other expecting moms). Just feeling a bit isolated, I suppose.
Re: Disappointed with this board
I haven't had much luck with this board either. I am in North Broward so not too close but I wanted to suggest some ideas to meet other moms.
Meetup.com has lots of great groups
also, the libraries are a great place for free storytime fun for the little ones.
That's all I have good luck, I wish I was closer to you
Agree...still new to Fort Lauderdale area and have yet to have people come out. That and feed back on here is either none or snarky.
Maybe we should plan a play date. At a park or something. Anyone up for that?
Hello,
I'm new to the website. I recently found out I'm 5 weeks pregnant. We're pretty excited. We haven't shared the news with our families yet. We figured we'd share our news on Mother's Day. They'll be ecstatic. Our parents have been waiting for this day for 2 years. So, I wanted to make Mother's Day special for them both and I couldn't think of a better gift to give our mother's on this special day then to tell them they'll be grandmother's this time next year. I'm betting my husband his mother will be in tears Can't wait to tell them.
You mentioned you live in Ft. Lauderdale. Are you recently new to Florida or just Ft. Lauderdale? I live in Hollywood.
Hi Mphelan,
I'm sorry to hear you haven't had a good experience here in Florida. I know just how you feel. I moved to Hollywood 7 years ago and I was completely shocked how hard it was to build close friendships. People are very different here, but once you adjust to peoples way of living here you'll adjust and will learn to fit in. It took me about 6 months to get use to things, but I will say this, I love living here. I hope you will too. Where did you move from? You also mentioned you are self employed. What kind of work do you do? I too have my own business.
