I couldn't wait to join a mother's group when I was pregnant and we're all really close almost 2 years on. We don't all do things the same way by far but it doesn't get in the way of our friendships. We're all doing what we think is best The only time I felt out of place was when the bubs were all about 4 months old. All the other girls started them on solids at this point while I waited til DS was 6 months. So there was quite a few catchups where it was all about the food and I had nothing to say!

We've done swimming lessons together, Hey Di Ho music, some of us are about to join a local playgroup too. I wish we could get out without the kiddies (have only been out once since we met!) but all our hubbies work weekends etc so it's hard to get a day free! But that's another good thing about my group - we know what it's like to have partners away for much of the time and having to do the majority ourselves. It's great to be able to vent and have people understand exactly what you're talking about.

We're all having our 2nd babies at the moment too.
