Wellington Northern Suburbs Mum’s 2 B

Would anyone who lives in the Northern Suburbs be interested in making new pregnant friends?

And maybe meeting up when it suits?

I'm in Churton Park.

Oh nice. So how far along is everyone with there pregnancy?

I'm not overly well off with money at the moment, so can't really get to town to meet up, as then there's parking costs.

But maybe meeting somewhere in the surronding suburbs could be an option, or at each others home.

I just always feel a bit embarassed meeting up at cafes when I can't always afford to buy anything.

Let me know what you think.

Here's a pic of my baby belly which just seemly to magically pop out hardcore last week.

Yay for a belly pic Kelly! I think my belly is starting to show slightly, perhaps more in the afternoons than in the mornings? Or maybe its just all those packets of twisties I've been eating .....

And 20 weeks tomorrow Michelle - that's exciting! I can't wait to start to feel movements.

Queue sounds good - I can only do the weekends as I work in town - hope thats oks? I reckon if we meet around 10.00am on a Saturday it would be pretty quiet. After 11.00 and you get the brunch/lunch rush? Or around 3.00pm when its died off again.

What do you think?

Im away this weekend and next...not sure past that.. sorry to be a pain :P

Sure :)

Sweet :)
So hows stuff going with you guys?
Signed up for antenatal classes yet? (I know I'm abit further along than you 2 but I was surprised at how few places were left when I booked ours when we were 15 weeks!)
Which midwives are you using? I'm due 30/12 so the BUSIEST time of year for midwives (plus loads of them are away for xmas etc) so couldnt find an independant midwife (and when it turned out we were 4 weeks further along than we thought had no chance!!) so we're with the primary care team at the hospital.. so far they have been great though... :) Have next visit on Tuesday!
Scan yesterday went well... actually think 12 week scan was more exciting cos you could see the whole baby alot more, cos the 20 weeks is checking so many things so much time was spent looking in such detail that I couldnt make out what was what (although scanner chick was awesome and did keep telling us..) all looking good though, baby all on track (we didnt find out the sex... I like the surprise :))

I've been really headachy lately too Kelly, probably for about two weeks now. So annoying. I've also had this weird sore throat during the night which seems to get better once I wake up in the morning. Random!!

I booked antenatal classes at Tawa College a couple of weeks ago, starting 27 Oct which seems early (as I'm due in Feb) but that was the latest I could get due to everything closing down over Dec/Jan. They run them at Newlands College too if you're looking for somewhere reasonably local Kelly. I would get onto it though as they do seem to fill up fast. Where are you booked Michelle?

My midwife is Sue Whitley (plus two others - I see them all and will have one of them during labour but its not guaranteed which one). She is awesome, really straight up and a bit of a character. Had my second appt yesterday and got to hear the heartbeat - sooooo cute!!

Yay for your scan going well Michelle - I can't wait for my 20 week scan. We're going to find out the sex I think.

Stink about the green grapes Kelly, I hate it when that happens. My tastes seem to be coming back after going off most things for about a month, I can drink the odd coffee again, yay!!

Have you guys bought much baby stuff yet? And is this the first baby for both of you? Its the first for me except my DH has two children from a previous relationship, we have them for one weekend a month.
