I made loads of new mum friends after I gave birth. I went to loads of baby groups and met them at one of them. We have a WhatsApp and still meet almost every week. We met over a year ago. It may be luck that we all just met there and got on. But deffo get yourself out there. I’m quite introverted, but one of the extroverted mums made conversation and I was in. But I also tried to push myself out of my comfort zone and speak to people.
It terms of being distance with old friends - I think so but idk if I’m overthinking cuz I’m not occupied by work like they are
Oh yeah defintely feel the shift from old friends to new type of friends for sure..life changes so friends gotta change w it
Since having my second LO unfortunately not. And as for feeling distant from old friends without kids… absolutely, there seems to be less and less in common.
