Oh I can relate completely! My family lives on the opposite side of the country (I live in BC, Canada)...I moved to a new town a year ago and have found it extremely hard making connections...I have a newborn baby and my husband works 12 hour shifts for 7 days then he is off for 7 days. On the 7 days he is working I am home by myself and feel so isolated and depressed :(
I would love to chat sometime with any of you moms that replied!! Hope to hear from you :)

I agree with Katherine. Go to www.meetup.com and see if there are any groups in your area. We moved to KC, MO 4 yrs ago and I didn't know a single person. I was so lonely being at home with my kids while my husband was at work. One day I posted on craigslist about looking for a playgroup for my kids and someone responded from the mom's group I now belong to. I have been a member since 2008 and it was the BEST thing I have done. I have met so many amazing moms and my kids have made so many new friends. It really is awesome. :)

You need to take control of your own happiness today and find a mother and baby group near you. Normally they are run by a church but you do not have to be religious to go. Force yourself to go a couple of times and to make conversations with the other women there. They are just like you and use these groups to socialise and talk about day to day problems of being a mum. I never really went to these groups when I had my sons years ago, but now with my 2.year 9 months daughter i do three a week it is the only thing that keeps me going through the week.

I have made many friends eventually and so has my daughter but you have to work at it. Just remember every mum in that room was the new person once. Be brave and make some friends and allow your daughter to experience new toys and people too.

When we moved to a new town far away from family and friends, and I had two little ones and a baby on the way, I was worried about the same thing. Then I met my awesome neighbor, and found out about MOMS club. It was mentioned earlier, momsclub.org. They should have a chapter near you somewhere. You are not alone, this is a normal thing. Go check out some of these sites. It's a huge help!

Good luck

Friend people who are moms, join a play group in your city to connect with people. Same thing happened to me

Join a play group or mom's club, there's a non profit one nationwide (US) called momsclub.org. Go to the site and see if there is a chapter in your area. All sorts of activities to choose from, playgroups according to age, etc.

meetup.com has lots of mommy groups. I joined because I would get so lonely and bored. They do a lot of stuff, you should check it out.

I have found some awesome friends on FB, there are other women in your situation out there. Most of my friends I have never met in person.
