DUNEDIN Mums and mums to be??

hi there i,m lu and i have a very ull on boy james hes 3 we are in town i think there are about 3 or 4 outher mums from here aswell maybe we should all do a meet up

wow- small world! I have been hermit of the century since arriving lol.
I would be keen to meet up, though im feeling pretty shocking at the mo.. I hope it passes soon. Name the time, Im free all weekend I think, Perhaps the Port Royale Cafe?? Sat??   

Yes I have a midwife... Prue Thompson, she is lovely.

James, if we end up meeting in town this weekend, are you keen? I can give you my cell phone number if you want.

Hi ladies,
I wrote some emails to different places and the only response so far is from Back in Motion:

"We have developed Pilates Protocols for women in both the antenatal and postnatal stages of pregnancy. We have offered specific classes in the past but had a varied response, so to date women who are pregnant have attended our Level I or II classes and the instructor has tailored the exercises to suit their stage of pregnancy and ability.
At Back in Motion we run a series of private Pilates classes for small groups as well. We could certainly look at setting up an antenatal class Pilates if you have a group of 4 or more that are interested."

So there we have it. I will update as to any more leads on classes. I am going nuts. Im so stiff!

Kat, I've just been reading the "Star", and I saw an ad for "Pilates Preggy Classes" at Multipeak Fitness, Consultancy House. Will ring them on Monday to find out prices!

Hope they are cheap classes... I would be keen if it's at a convenient time for me and I can get someone to look after Chloe!

He he, that's funny Kat!

I forgot to bring the ad from the paper into work with me, I've been trying to find info or details on the internet - non-existent!
Hopefully they'll still be open when I get home, otherwise I'll have to call tomorrow.

I got a response from Configure Express, I asked if you needed to be a member to ATtend classes::

"We sell concession cards for clients that are solely going to do the odd class. It is $110 for 10 classes. Some people find this economical and others who use the classes/ gym more regularly will tend to purchase a term of membership as this may be better value. If you just want to give me a call/email as to when you would like to come and try a class that would be great."

And as for BIM- I just rang them
They are like a private gym... and do Matt classes on an 8 week rotation, the next one isnt till next year (8 weeks for $80) and it is in the pm, they also have 1 on 1 sessions. The private classes of 4 or more are really expensive, and pose a potential logistical for organising a time to suit everyone. $150 for 6 sessions.

The personal 1 on 1 sessions sound quite good but not very social :(
They are $65 phr, or $35 1/2 hr. ANd youd need a couple of sessions... the woman makes up a routine/programme for you and you can do it at home.
OR- There is a deal on at the mo- for $400 you get 20 weeks of unlimited use of the facilities and some 1 on 1 and a programme.

phew- She is sending me a brochure.

Configure Express sounds the cheapest, and most flexible for hours. Not so specific to the bump crew tho

Sounds good- Im keen to do the Fridays too. I dont work Fri so Im super dupa lucky.

I might find out about going next week.

Hey thanks for that, Shannon! Good to know, unfortunately it would too much hassle for me, as I'm still working fulltime in town. At least the Pilates classes on Fridays I can work into a lunchtime, and I can walk there.
