Trying to make new friends can feel scary (sort of like dating again!) but you are not the only one who is nervous about saying hello. I suggest you take a few deep breaths and make the effort even if you don't feel quite up to it. It will pay off down the road.
These websites refer to a variety of groups/classes; the focus may be on babies, toddlers or moms. If you know of a resource that should be posted on this page (benefiting moms from anywhere in DE!), PLEASE give me a call! I would love to expand this list of resources.
