Looking for Mom Support Group for First-time Mom

Does she have internet at home? Something like this could be very helpful to her if the weather was bad or if she did not like to get out.

My daughter was born at Presby Plano and I know they have a ton of different groups that meet each week. I did not participate in them, but I know they are there.

I hope she is doing ok - it can be a bit overwhelming! I know I was with my daughter even with all of my family and friends around - it's still overwhelming and scary!

www.meetup.com is awsome. I felt the same way as she did before I found moms groups!

The breastfeeding support group is an excellent idea. You can find a local La Leche League group here:
http://www.llli.org//Web/Texas.html
She will be able to make many new friends through that group and also get excellent breastfeeding support and information. It doesn't look like there's a group in Frisco on that website, but if you contact the McKinney, Plano or Lewisville leaders they should be able to help her find the nearest group. The leaders are also available by phone or email for support.

I am in a moms club of Denton and I am pretty sure there is one around Frisco. If you type in International Moms Club..you should be able to pick a location..if not, let me know and I can find one for you to help your friend out. Let me know..I have three small children and my husband is a local truck driver and in the National Guard so he is gone quite a bit. I can relate to her in certain ways. Good luck! S.

We have a MOMS Connection at our church in north Plano, Chase Oaks Church (www.chaseoaks.org)..... it's a great support group for moms of preschoolers/infants.
It meets twice a month on Wed or Thurs mornings, whatever day works best for you. 9:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. Childcare is provided - once she feels her infant is old enough for that.

MOMS Connection has been a lifesaver for me -- I can vent, offer support, get advice, receive encouragement from other moms and mentor moms (older, wiser mentor moms sit at each table to give advice). Let me know if you'd like more information. Or she can just go to the website to register and visit us at our next meeting - March 26/27.

There are many other MOPs-like (Mothers of Preschoolers) groups at different churches in the metroplex - there may be one closer to her. www.mops.org
These groups get the conversation going on many parenting and marriage issues.
