Hi Amanda, ... just wanted to pop by & say i was at the other end of the scale as at my older age group all my friends already had their children years before me and were going back into the workforce when i was leaving work having my 1st baby.

I certainly felt alone like you BUT a few months after having my baby (i was housebound for those mths as my baby had severe colic) i started going to playgroups, or anything of that kind nature to do with programs with babies or pre-schoolers i then found people of my kind of world and it felt such a relief

So don't worry Amanda it will take time but it will all come together when baby is here ... so just focus on enjoying your magical pregnancy journey for now (and please DO talk to you GP or midwives on how you are feeling now so they can help guide you) !!!
