N.B.
When I had my daughter 5 years ago, I didn't know anyone who was a mom! I met this really nice woman in my birthing class who turned me onto MOMS CLUB. http://www.momsclub.org/links.html They have chapters all over the world. They will actually match you with some other moms who have kids about your child's age.
I joined when my daughter was 3 months old and 5 years later, we all still meet (as best we can) for playdates! I have made some really lasting friendships and so has my daughter. Good luck!
