Isolated Mothers

[Missymay]

Thanks so much for support, it is good to know I am not alone, that makes me feel less of a failure cause all I see is pregnant women who are walking about etc and getting on with things. Suppose logically I am not really going to see other people in same position as me, as I am not out and about and they are not out either!

At the moment I have physical problems and bit bluey, but I know with the isolation and family history of PND that I could easily get PND so I am nipping it in the bud and determined not to let it get me or try my best anyhow, because I know PND is a complicated problem.

Thanks again for your kindness, everyone.

Also is the play group that a few of you mentioned, the same as the coffee mornings, or is it separate, and I have guessed that DD stands for your partners but what it’s literal meaning, I have guessed a few offensive meanings depending on my own feelings to my partner at the time, but dont think they are correct. 🙂

there are a few playgroups and yes they are separate from the coffee mornings
DD + darling/dearest daughter
DS + darling/dearest son
DH + darling/dearest husband
DP + darling/dearest parner
MIL + mother in law

i feel the very same at times. i’ve been a sahm since my 2nd child was born (was working full time up till then) and she’s 16 months old nearly. am on career break from work till 16th feb 2010!!!!! 🙂 i know! but they don’t stay small forevery so i’m glad i took the time out from work. even so this sahm lark takes some getting used to & i admit there have been and still are many occasions where i feel isolated – must come along to one of the coffee mornings – i’ve yet to meet other mumstown members!!!

Hi Missymay. It can be very hard when you are a ‘blow in’. I am an extremely shy person and not good in large groups, but I have found that having a baby actually helps you meet people around your area. I also plucked up the courage to go to a coffee morning with some of the girls on here and I was so glad that I did. Try and make the next one if you can 🙂

[Missymay]

Yeah I am not so good with big groups, bit shy too, and it is horrible been a blow in, my parents were from the country and I was reared in Dublin City centre, so I am flippin blow in everywhere !! So thats one of the reasons I got on this site for me and also to make sure baby never feels like a blow in. I suppose in order to get over it I need to be proactive and I should try make next coffee morning. I will watch the post. Thanks for making me feel welcome.

missymay, i am also shy, and have yet to meet some of the girls here….still too shy 😳 😳
but if you can try to meet with others as it will help you and be great for support when babs arrives! best of luck

We dont bite…… well only if we are hungry 😆 😆 😆
Missymay there are alot of us Dubs on here so you would just slot right in, we all have that Dub sense of humour.
God city centre to Balbriggian, bet your family think they would need a passport to visit you 😆 😆 😆 😆 My inlaws are like that anyway

[Missymay]

My in laws said I needed a passport to visit their side of Dublin from where I origannally come from, the cheek 😆

When I did move to Balbriggan everyone said I would never settle because I always lived in central Dublin and I was always within walking distance of lots of pubs etc 🙂 , but I have to say I would not move back, never thought I would think this way, I would move back only for commuting reasons, but would be nice to meet other women out here, thanks for the welcome. 😀 😀

[Taylor5]

Im from the otherside of the city (rathfarnham) so people always ask me Why Drogheda…. I said I went for a drive and the car broke down and I never went back 😆 😆 😆

[Missymay]

Well I ended up in Balbriggan because of house prices, but I understand why you went to Drogheda, I wanted to move there and still do because it is lively, shopping etc, but my partner is not so keen, he has made a lot of Bowsie connections in Balbriggan 🙂 But I am working on him 😉

[Taylor5]

Yeah I like Drog better now it has all the shops
