Top tips for meeting new mum friends

Most mums find that when they fall pregnant they don't have a ready made circle of mum friends with young babies within their existing circle of friends. So here's our top tips to finding those new mum friends. Find an antenatal class in your area, either by asking your midwife or using the NCT course finder tool. Make contact with mums in your area using the Netmums website and lastly, go along to mother and baby groups, the first time is always a bit daunting but stick with it and you'll soon meet people.
