Yes, I'm jumping the gun a bit, as we are not yet pregnant (TTC in September), but now we have finally made the decision to TTC a whole lot of feelings have popped up that are exciting, yet scary at the same time.

One thing I was thinking about is pregnancy and raising children, and I realised that my 'support' network is actually small (teeny tiny actually). The only family member I have is my father who would of course be happy and excited, but that's about it. No-one in our 'social' group has children, and if I wanted help and support, the inlaws are the LAST people I would ask- So just curious.... who was your main support network (appart from your significant other of course!).

Are there groups out there (I'm in Melb) who offer social outings etc for mothers? I know SIL attends a mothers group, but what else is out there for women who want to talk to others about pregnancy and motherhood (apart from bellybelly of course )

This post may sound a little strange, but I just wish I had people IRL who I could talk to who understand the feelings I am having.

Thanks,

R
