I didn't know you are 19 Kyla (sorry to threadjack) I assumed you were my age lol. Goes to show how much having kids can make you seem wise beyond your years

lol Everyone thinks im way older than i am. People always have. I was a real teenage mum lol got pregnant at 17  Had already done one year of my ECE deploma though and felt a lot older than i actually was. Dh and i have been together since we were 15 and were engaged when we got pregnant - well no ring but had set a weddding date lol. I often have to remind myself that im still quite young lol.

I thought there would be heaps of young mums in the Wellington/Kapiti area, especially Kapiti, its just that kinda place
Where abouts are you from?
I too am a young Mum. I was 19 when I had my first and have since had a second, no longer pregnant anymore though.

I'm semi young Lol, well I think I am lol, I'm 23 and in the Hutt Valley. Like you though most of my Wellington friends aren't pregnant or have kids... I have a couple of friends from when I lived in Masterton but dont get to catch up with them very often. Welcome to Ohbaby and maybe look at joining in the due in thread I've found that age doesn't matter too much around here everyone just gets along

I am the same age as Bex and am in Wgtn... Im not technically PG but hope to be soon! ( I was PG but MC and so TTC again ) so if that helps I am keen to meet/chat what ever...  None of my friends are even remotely thinking about babies, so I know how you feel!

I am on the kapiti coast, living in te horo, but im an oldie by your standards........although i do come with some wisdom as i had my first when i was 19, second when 28 and now im having my 3rd......and im 33.........and theres big difference between having one young and having one now........some good and some bad......
Im keen to start going to some sort of mothers groups up this way to meet more mums as i havent lived up this way for long, but since im not going to antenatal i dont know how i would meet any.......will talk to my MW when i see her next, and of course when im not working, i will have the time to actually go to coffee mornings.......
Good luck berg, hope you find some young people with young babies, there should be some around, not necessarily all on OB, but i wouldve thought the demographics around the coast werent as young as they used to be with lots of "older" people moving up this way now to start families......one place you are still guaranteed to find young mums is Wainuiomata......LOL
Check out down in pram the local womens centre, behind the library, they will have a contact for a young mums group around..........
See us oldies arent completely useless....

Haha i don't mean young as in 15, i consider myself an "old" 19 year old. I was living in wellington but moved home (which is otaki) when i found out i was pregnant. I've talked to my midwife and she was no help at all! But like you chickielou i don't really know anybody around here, although i'am going to antenatal classes nothing has come of it yet! But from what i know there are no mothers groups around this area, will have to venture down to pram!
Yeah, just when all of your friends are at uni and doing things, they don't really have the time to accommodate a pregnant girl anymore! But it would be lovely to have somebody that i could go baby shopping with that wouldn't get bored!! :D

If you have no luck getting together a meet up in Kapiti, I have organised one over Johnsonville way. It's tomorrow though. But if that goes all good and we are having another meet up I'll try remember to give you a message on here and let you know if we have another one.
So far my friend (Sharlene28) and Chickielou who are both from Kapiti are coming tomorrow. As there seems to be no meet ups in Kapiti.
So hopefully we will organise another soon and you are totally welcome to come.
If you think you can make it, it is at 10am tomorrow/Saturday at Queue Cafe in Johnsonville.
But it is pretty short notice, so if you can't make it, I understand. There will be another one

If you are interested, there will be a meet up in Porirua at Denny's at some point, with others from Kapiti coming too.

I am on the coast, not a young mum tho (am 30). However, am keen to catch up once I stop working. I think there have been some Wellington Mum's meet ups - and talk of one at Lindale. Maybe we should take the bull by the horns and organise one!?
