Any Leeds Mum's out there ?

[redstarfalling]

Hi Any mums out there fancy a meet up over the next week or so ?

Hiya suz,

I only came across a baby yoga in harrogate when I was pg but it was waiting list too.

There are a few of us that meet up in the barnsley area quite regularly, most of us have little ones but you are more than welcome to join us.

My ds is 5mths old

Get yourself on the antenatal thread for your month, I found mine extremely helpful and have carried it on to the postnatal group too.

Hello everyone - SuzyQ, I did a baby yoga class in Harrogate with a woman called Jill Chatterton at Jennyfield Styan Community Centre - if I remember rightly. I think she might be worth a Google as have vague recollection of her saying she had a website. Also did baby massage class at her home in Harrogate.

And Yorkshire Yoga Centre on Halfpenny Lane in Knaresborough do baby and toddler yoga and have a creche some mornings.

Look at this

How's Horsforth treating you, spiker?

Suz1Q, welcome, definitely post on the relevant ante-natal thread here, it's fab to have other people to talk to who are at the same stage of pregnancy as you.

Am tempted to suggest a meet-up but afraid the sight of us lot with our various offspring might put Suz1Q off for good.

For those still reminiscing about student days in Leeds, my babysitter has now moved into a flat in Hyde Park. She's had no light for 3 weeks because the lighting circuit keeps blowing, the living room ceiling is soaked through from a leak in the bath (and she can't use the shower, just take shallow baths as if it was the war and hot water was rationed!) and last week someone stole both her bins. Oh yes, and just before the weekend a car was torched outside the flat. Hence why her mum's car is now at my house keeping safe for the weekend Student days, eh?!

Message withdrawn

Just remembered, there's a yoga centre called something like Yoga Place? Yoga Space? on Meanwood Road I think. They have a website, worth checking out. Sorry, too tired to find it and work out how to put a link in

Horsforth is lovely thanks. It's been a mad few months, made madder by assorted illnesses and DS1 generally behaving like tigger on acid. Not been posting much as had no time.

How about a park meet-up??

Thanks Spiker ...I've found that Meanwood Yoga place and have looked into it....cheers

Hi, please can I join in?
I'm a new mum (baby boy nearly 8 weeks old) & live in Horsforth ... have come through a few weeks of exhaustion & feel ready to talk to other people again!! but the thought of turning up cold at "mother & baby" type things frightens the life out of me - don't know if anyone else felt like this at first. All advice welcome!

hello k75!

I don't remember feeling quite like that, I must admit. Babies are a great leveller I find. And great ice-breakers. Just say make some admiring comments about somebody else's baby and his/her mum will be keen to talk to you! Or if you prefer, speak directly to the baby rather than the mum - she'll soon start talking to you.

I take it you don't have an ante/post natal group you can tap into? Have you been to the baby cafe in horsforth? It's basically a social gathering with a breast counsellor thrown in. The NCT group is friendly too. I haven't been to either as much as I'd like due to DIY/work, but happy to meet you at baby cafe if you like.

cheers for message. I have been actively admiring other people's babies at the gp surgery while waiting to see hv - you're right, it does make conversation easy!! Unfortunately I stopped bf at 4 weeks so baby cafe probably not an option (I'm sure they wouldn't throw me out but...!) have to say I really wish I'd gone in the early days as I might well still have been bf if I'd got some help(long story). Am going to a post-natal group starting at the Horsforth clinic next week & feel good about that.

I know at least one person who goes to baby cafe who is bottle-feeding, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. The breast-feeding angle is to do with the funding.

Good luck with the PN group. I didn't get invited because it was my second baby

Hi, I have just joined this site so not sure how it all works yet, however I help run the local LS16 NCT group if ever you fancy coming along or if you fancy just a coffee 1 on 1 we could do that too/instead.. I have been to the Horsforth Babycafe a couple of times & its been great, quite a few of my friends go every week..however shick horror I don't breast feed...& have never been made to feel uncomfortable.. The NCT group is great for meeting peeps & getting tips & improving your social life.. We only started in Feb of this year & we are haveing our first girls night out in Horsforth tonight & a family picnic tommorrow.. My baby is 13wks old now, but we have babies younger & older that come to.. I don't know how you send messages to each other on here yet, but you are more than welcome to get in touch..
tc Gwen x ps soz for the long post..but i am new to the area & have found it a invaluable way of meeting people..

Hi all
Im Sarah im 24 and I have a son who is 6 weeks old,although I have been living in Leeds for over a year I havent really been able to make any friends and now I have DS and DP is at work all day im getting lonely! our parents dont live round here so I havent really got any day to day support and would love to meet mums in the same situation as me I live in Kippax and the mother and baby group has stopped till september so cant go there yet but I want to start talking to people now

hi!

just returning to more normal life (with time for t'internet and everything) since baby girl is now 13 weeks.

have really enjoyed the meetings with my nct buddies, but would like more mum time (cake included!)and someone to go to yoga with at the yoga space on meanwood road (to deal with all the cakes!)

anyone interested?

Hello, can I join you. I am currently living in harrogate , but will be moving to Roundhay at the end Aug/Sept time. I have a 16mth old dd and a 3wk old dd.

We will be desperate to meet new people when we move as family are in Burnley so a bit of a trek. Also moved up from London in Dec so no real close friends yet. I sound rather sad don't I !!

Also Gwen, quite fancy the NCT group.

HI, gosh my original post was a long time ago.. unfortunatly the nct group no longer exists, however there is a roundhay one if you look on the nct site.. however I too have a 16month old daughter & Roundhay isn't far from Cookridge where I am if you fancy meeting up..
