Hi ladies :)
Very keen to meet other mums-to-be. I moved to Palmy end of 2010 and friends already have older children and have established "groups" etc. Always good to meet new people!
Found out the other day that I'm pregnant and due April 9th! My husband and I got married last November and this will be our first baby - so excited!
I wanted to wait til 12 weeks to spill the beans to anyone but I've been so excited I ended up telling my 2 best mates and my husband told his family. Hope it all works out ok, I'm scared something might go wrong!
I've not been very productive at work or with study this week, I keep finding myself reading stuff on here and looking at baby things online..started looking at midwifes but they all almost seem to be taken already! Not sure how you go about picking one, do you interview them or just call them up and see if you like them?
So far I've been lucky with symptoms, I have sore boobs and need to pee a lot, and keep getting hungry about every 2 hours (!) but it could definitely be worse!
Look forward to getting to know you all and sharing this journey!

I just popped over to this section of the forums to ask if anyone in Palmy wanted to start a coffee group as my "due in December" forum don't appear to live here, and found you beat me to it!
I'm totally keen, even if the group ends up being people from all different stages of pregnancy/child-raising :-)
I'm due to have my first baby on December the 2nd.
Re midwives I just called up Midwifery Care as everyone I asked kept recommending a particular midwife there, including my GP - I happened to like the first one I went to meet and stuck with her. So far, good decision. We'll see how I feel about it on D-day :-)

On that list I highly recommend Anna K, she went in to bat for me really well when we were up against the hospital system.
What times suit people, I've got a pretty set schedule as I have a care child for 2 weeks out of every month but I could do a tuesday morning on a week that he's not here.

Once I finish my thesis in the next 4 weeks, I can do any time, any day really.
In the meantime if you made a time that suited people I'd try to make it, just couldn't guarantee it.

I'd not be able to make that one. With study, school pickups, homework, dinner and then gym etc means I'm out as far as afternoon/evening goes

I would love that but there is no way I'm venturing in there with 3 kids. The oldest one would be great but the younger two not so much!

Hi everyone
Things seem to have come to a grinding halt here so thought maybe I'd try and jumpstart the coffee group idea again.
Some of you who mentioned being maybe able to make Tuesday or Wednesday mornings - if you're all still keen - how would this coming Tuesday morning work (the 16th) for any of you?
We're not doing antenatal classes, and I'll be a stay-at-home Mum for a while, so I'm pretty keen to meet as many pregnant people or people with young children as I can so I can get out a bit after the baby's born!
