I am new to being a SAHM and I am currently pregnant with my first child, my husband and I just moved to Garden City, KS and he is the only person here I know. It makes things pretty lonely. Is there any tips or advice any of you more experienced SAHMs can give me? |

Start trying out some realistic hobbies, crafts you can do, just don't over exert yourself. Once you have your child that will help, because you can focus on them, it still gets lonely so make sure your husband and you make some YOU time at least 15 minutes everyday, it helps tremendously! Get a schedule with bigger time gaps, bonding time with baby, cleaning, cooking, hubby time, and more importantly you time, read a good book or just a nice bubble bath! :) |

| I'm in the same boat. Try to make some women friends. Maybe join the MOPS group. I tried our local chapter but did not make any strong bonds. It's easier to do things while pregnant, so make strong bonds while you can. Once baby is here, leaving the house isn't always easy' |

| I moved to Boston when my daughter was about 1 and my parnter was just starting a new job. It got really lonely and was really hard. The closest family we had was 3 hours away. I searched in google for mom groups in boston and found a group that was right around where I was living. It helped so much. Just google search it and hope you find something. Otherwise, once baby is born, even though he or she will be too little for it, go to the playground and talk to other mamas or papas! I've found the playground to be a great place to meet people, and even if you're not making great friends, you're getting socialization and have someone to talk to for a bit. I haven't done this too much, but also look and see if the local library has any play groups. I know the ones near me do, but it is hard sometimes as baby naps don't always work well with plans. At newborn age babies sleep so much of the time! But you can go even when baby is sleeping and see what it's like and play. Also try baby and mama yoga, perfect age for it cause you can do the poses and excerise and the little one can't quite move yet.Good luck! I hope you find some friends and make some connections, it really makes life a whole lot easier. It can even better your relationship with your partner cause you don't feel alone all the time and get as upset when they don't do what you feel like they should (you will always get upset though, no matter how good of friends you have!) |
