I've been in Hanoi for a month now with 7 month old twins. During summer holidays most of these things take a break as this is the season for moving or travelling.
As for Mother's Groups and things like that. HIWC were fantastic with answering my questions before I arrived, unfortunately I haven't met any of the women and have now started work.

There are some websites like eBay all in Vietnamese where you can buy cots and whitegoods but you'll need to know someone who can read Vietnamese. Here is a link that will at least get you into the site but just flip through

But once you are here things fall into place very quickly and a lot of accommodation comes fully furnished.
Again HIWC will be willing and able to answer more specific questions.
