Staying Connected with Other Mothers

It is very important to stay connected with others, especially during your first three months postpartum, and especially with other mothers. Other mothers will provide you with the validation you need while you're adjusting to your new role and identity as a mother, as well as provide other viewpoints on problems you may be dealing with and giving you some much-needed social networking. Mom's clubs are excellent forums for this, as well as being connected online through chat rooms and other moms groups. Here are just a couple of links to help you stay connected to the first-time mom community and find information, validation, and support.
