Pregnant+just returned to Sheff. Any friends/tips/groups appreciated!

[LifesComplicated]

Hi all. I'm Emily. DH and I have just moved back to Sheffield after a few years down South. Before I could find my feet and meet people/get into a routine I've found out I'm pregnant (10 weeks). So... no boozy nights out for me but I'm feeling a little isolated (I'm off work at mo and don't know anyone yet) so I thought I'd see if there are any MN-ers who fancy chatting either on here or meeting up for a coffee/yoga session/walk/swim/film etc?

Also I'm really up for joining a yoga class or similar relaxation-type group so any tips on where to go (in S11) greatfully received.

I'm in S11 and really love a good laugh and a chat, as well as interests in walking/the peaks/cookery/film etc.

Hope to get to know some of you soon!

Hi Emily

congratulations on the baby

I live in rotherham, only 10 mins from mhall dont know how far that is i am a total travel virgin lol i associate medowhall as travelling to sheff!!

I would be happy to chat/meet up althought yogas not my cup of tea sorry.

I have 1 DD who is 2 in dec and am currently ttc #2.

hi

there are a few Sheffield mums around - we must do a meet up at some point, i'm seeing hulababy later, she's another Sheffield Tsarina,and have a think

Hi Nicola, Frosty and Katz,

Lovely to read your messages and meet you all.
Nicola - I too am a travel virgin and a Rotherham virgin (I've never been despite growing up in sheffield!). Transport is a bit of an issue for me at the moment (no car and money so tight) but could meet in town or maybe M'hall if you every fancy any window shopping. Good luck with TTC#2 too - fingers crossed for you!
Frosty - you sound like you really have your hands full! I don't think I'm going to know what's hit me when my baby comes judging by your tales of night-waking and BFing. I hope you can start to get out and about soon.
Katz - it's great there are a few of us Sheffs MN-ers about. I'd love a meet up and am happy to help with any arrangements.

Righto, off to dodge the raindrops!
Best wishes
Emily.

Hi Emily

Window shopping is always good

So how are you feeling, you having an easy pregnancy?

Yeah keeping evrything crossed ( except legs of course )

I dont drive anyway so hubby normally ferries us round but i dont mind hopping on the bus.

Well a little bit about me, ive been married 6 years although been together 15.

I work part time arranging work experience placements for kiddis am loving now only working part time lol

Erm just realised how boring i am ha ha oh and i turn 30 this month

Hi Emily,

Like Stay Frosty I can recommend Olivia's yoga class.

I'm in S11 too, though I have 3 DC's (did Olivia's classes for both pregnancies) so am a bit bound by school drop offs and pick ups but would love to meet up for a coffee and the low down on baby groups in the area.

Hi Im Beth, I have a 7.5 week old baby daughter & a 3yr old daughter. I live in chapeltown s35. would like to meet up, chat.

hope to see you all soon.

Hi Emily and others!:)
i was reading ur post and it seemed like im reading about my own life;) we moved to sheffield year n half ago and 3 months later i was pregnant! Not knowing anybody just like u. Sad and difficult times:(

but thanks to being pregnant and now having a beautiful baby girl i met so many people! I did yoga and active birth classes with Olivia as well, she is amazing!!! And not far from S11.

There is so many different baby groups, also some for bumps (NCP I think). Get a Link Magazine, there's lots of info there.

Omg I can't stop writing..... Anyway I always happy to meet new mums/people! Available for a coffee/walk any time really!

I used to go to bumps and babies at St Andrew's church hall when DD was small and we lived in sheffield. It's an NCT group (but you don't have to be an NCT member to go) I met tons of lovely mums there. I also loved kate campbell's antenatal and postnatal fittness classes www.keepmumsfit.com
