Hi Mamas,

First I want to say thank you to everyone who responded to my previous posts and helped me find a midwife on my move out here. I am happy to report I will doing a home birth with Marie Wakefield in July!

:

Ok, so now that I'm here, it's all starting to set in... I'm alone. With a huge move, husband's new job, me having no job, no friends or family, I am facing a bit of an identity crisis and loss of self. I am searching for a support group/network of other mamas or mamas to be, to get out and meet some people, find new hobbies (since my old days of skydiving and sport bike riding are now out too), learn about the local area, and just get out of my house and off my computer! I tried searching for a prenatal yoga class and found absolutely nothing

So, are any of you looking for an addition to your mama's group, or have any suggestions on where to go/look?

Thank you in advance.
Cheers,
Clare

Hi Clare-

Source Yoga off N 21st in Tacoma has both prenatal and mom and baby yoga classes, they are the closest to Gig Harbor that I know of. As for new mom groups, The Birthing Inn has a moms group every Friday from 10:30-12. Other moms have had luck with meetup.com in finding South Sound groups, but the other moms in these groups tend to be more "mainstream."

Good Luck,
Sarah

If you're willing to come to Tacoma, there is an AP group on meetups.com.

Hi Clare,

Did you ever find a mom group? I am completely in the same boat as you. New to Gig Harbor as a stay at home mom with my son I just gave birth to in May. Let me know if you found anything as I am still looking!

Thanks!
Amanda

yes indeedy, believe it or not there are some other mamas in GH who read mothering magazine. I've lived here for 3 years and am taking a year off with the babe born in April. I'm up for getting out of the house for a coffee or storytime at the library? (fridays at 10:30).
