Social connections

I didn’t do antenatal classes when I was pregnant with Jessica – I felt I would struggle to connect with other mums-to-be because I felt my concerns would be so different. I still feel that was the right decision at the time but I do feel sometimes that I missed out socially as a result. I am in touch with other heart families, mostly online, many of whom I have met through our stays in hospital but it has taken nearly two years to really start making friends with other mums in my local area with children of a similar age.
