Prepare Yourself! The 9 Women You'll Meet in Your New-Mom Group

Getting out and meeting other new moms is a crucial part of the intro to motherhood equation, but it can be a mind-opening experience.

It's a circle of people with nothing binding them except for the new additions to their families, and you're all operating on limited sleep and maximum hormones. Here, nine new moms to watch for. Can you match the personality types to women in your own life? We're willing to bet the answer's yes on at least a few of them! Source: Thinkstock
