Hey! 

I am 28 weeks pregnant with my first- a little boy! I'd love to meet other new mothers or mothers-to-be. I am quite young, 21. Any other Cbus-ers out there? Or possibly any meet ups? The only meetings I know of around here involve moms with kids already and they go finger painting or something... It'd be a little weird for me to attend as they are very child-centered... something I'd love once Nico is here, but until then... You know. (; 

Rose.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I thought I'd bump your post up for attention and suggest you join a Due Date Club to connect with other members due around the same time as you.

Thanks. (: I'm actually part of my DDC but none are from my area. I was hoping to meet some local moms!

Have you checked out La Leche League?  There is a group that meets at Sprout Soup in Clintonville, and I believe there is a Hilliard-area group, as well.  I went to some LLL meetings before my first was born, and I found that being around other nursing dyads was a good education for me.  LLL often focuses on babies rather than older toddlers/preschoolers and bigger kids, so the age difference between your almost-here baby and the babes of the moms at La Leche ultimately may not be much.

I know some people who made good mom friends at the Sprout Soup moms group and through Columbus AP Village, but I haven't been involved with those groups myself.
