Baby groups in Antrim/near Antrim

I am 6 months pp and moved from Derry to Antrim a few years ago but I have no friends here. I am so lonely and really don’t do very much. I have signed up for one class but it isn’t until the end of September. I need some other things to try and meet other mums before I start back at work. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Hi, I also moved from Derry to Antrim in 2016. My son arrived in 2022 so I found the same as you, maternity leave is quite lonely. I took my son to baby massage class which was a 6 week block. I took my son to see my mum once a week too which broke up the week for me. I’m not sure what classes are on now but most churches/chapels will have a stay & play class a few mornings a week. I think there might be sing & sound classes at Antrim Library? Look up Nurture Hub on instagram, Fiona has loads of classes & is lovely. Sorry I’m a bit rusty since I am now back at work. Give me a PM if you want to chat x

If you drive, Emma from YogaBellies does mum and baby yoga in Ballyclare which is great!

I joined an Antrim mums coffee and meet up whatsapp group from a Facebook post i saw. I live in Greenisland so might be a bit far for me to drive as I’m only 9 days post partum. They seem really active and meet up in Antrim town - pm for details

In need of friends

I truly need friends to talk, vent and chat with whether it be text call or FaceTime I feel so alone even though I have people around me and my partner isn’t really being a partner in this time

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Work + baby?

Hi everyone I’m a struggling mom needing to go back to work but trying to avoid sending my baby to daycare I’m desperately trying to find work I can do with my baby as I won’t have any one I trust to babysit. If anyone knows anything please reach out. I just want my baby to be safe but living in this economy with one income is just impossible. Please fellow moms im begging for anything!

Advice

Ok so I had this friend and she would always talk about how it was so embarrassing to post your face on tinder or any kind of dating/friendship platform because it makes you look desperate. This has stuck with me soo much over the years, I always post anonymously. I really want a friend just 1 friend that I can go out n do stuff with and we just click but I refuse to post my face on any friendship platform, also because I might see someone I know and I literally HATE the idea of that. I feel so stuck, because I’m not the type of person to go out a lot I go to work and come home and when I do go out to parks and stuff there’s literally never any moms that try to strike up conversation. I really wanna get on bumble bff to try it out but it makes it to where you have to post your face. PLEASEEE any advice would help. I get bumble bff go through the people and then I delete it within like 5 minutes because I see someone I know.
