As much as being a new mum can be the happiest times of your life it can can also be very isolating, lonely and difficult to find time to do anything for yourself. Especially if you are like me, relatively new to the town and so have’t got many friends and family to help. Maybe you do but your friends haven’t got any children yet so your interests have changed a bit. When I first became a mum I had all of these problems, not many friends and definitely not much time to do any exercise. Well, there was time in the evening, after my husband finished work and could look after our son, but then I had no energy, and if you are like me, a morning person, then you will understand :-) I used to go to many different baby classes, not because I thought my baby needed to socialise, but because I wanted to get out of the house and talk to some other mums. I found some really lovely groups and activities that we both enjoyed but I have to say that none of them were aimed at mums. I remember really wanting to do some classes in the morning where I could exercise and have my son with me. I am sure there were some but not that many. As a maternity and newborn photographer I spend a lot of time talking to expecting and new mums and many of them have similar problems. Recently I have seen new classes popping up one after another, and as fitness is really topical at this time of the year I have put a list of some fun classes for mums to do with their babies. These are all about mums working out and I am sure making friends too :-)
