Any new mums-to-be in the Stourbridge area?

[UtterlyMonkey]

looks around anxiously Anyone out there ? If you are from around these parts, do drop by and say hello !

Well nearish....over in Kidderminster. So 'hellooo' to you and your bump :) When are you due? I'm due Aug 19 with my 1st.

Hi Rootatoot! Kiddy is just 'round the corner - fab :-) I'm due around mid Jan with my first, so am glad to know you are close by! ?

Hi,

Live not far from you, Dudley way.
Pregnant with no 2!
:o

OOoohhh, new buddies! Where are you both planning to have the babs?

Hello ...well it has to be Worcester hosptial for me really. I'm not from the area originally (lived here 6 years) so haven't even been there before. I hear bad things about car park but know a few peeps who have had their babies there and no probs so fingers crossed it is ok.

My big worry is how long it takes to drive there. I'd say 25 mins without traffic BUT they're doing never ending roadworks and it's the only road. Pretty crappy that they downgraded Kiddy hospital. They've been great for scans etc.

How about you both?

Hi,

Im due to have mine at birmingham womens as I previously went to russells hall, and to be honest would never recommend anyone go there as they made so many errors, my DS is lucky to be here.

Due Nov 5th

Ok. Testing namechange

Hello OP i am from Stourbridge , i may in fact know you (small town right ?) so im being v careful. Whereabouts in Sbridge are you from ?

Hello Unknown! Welcome and hi everyone!
I don't live in Stourbridge yet, (but will do from July-ish) and aside from living in Kingswinford, I work and play in Birmingham 5 days a week. Would love to meet some lovely mums-to-be in the area.

err..what's the story with Russell's Hall, as I think that's where I'll be going?

Ah then i probably dont know you. We re safe . Dont know any horror stories about RH so i will leave it to the others.

Is anyone doing antenatal yoga on here?

Hi local ladies!

I'm in Birmingham so not far at all. I'm due Aug 25th with my first - dont know what we're having though! Really hoping for a homebirth - but otherwise it's Good Hope in Sutton for me.

UtterlyMonkey I'm doing antenatal yoga, I really enjoy it. Was interested in doing aquanatal but can't seem to find any local swimming baths who do it.

Hi, Cut a long story short first baby died midwives didnt even notice I was in labour even though I told them, by the time they realised she was halfway out and breech, died the next day due to complications.

Second baby, same kind of story went onto labour, they didnt believe me again! went to send me home, I refused, had DS 30 mins later.

I asked doctor to send me to birmingham womans this time, would never trust them again.

Sorry if this is a horror story for you, and I do realise that every hospital has good and bad stories, and I have heard good stories from the same hospital too. But the way I see it, they mess up once yes that happens and maybe they will look after me better next time. I was wrong.

Wow. That's bad. Sorry to hear that Anon :-( Did you complain??

CT148 - I've just started Body Balance - a combi of yoga, pilates and tai-chi at my local gym. I would love to do AquaAerobics, so will have a snoop around...

I'm only 6+1 but feel bloated! Anyone else felt the same?

Hi guys, there's a Pilates class running in Stourbridge for pregnant ladies on a Saturday morning. It runs at BodyBalance. Great, safe work out with useful hints and tips from a mum who's had two great home water births.....maybe another option to consider.

Hi everyone (if anyone is still watching this thread!) I'm in Worcester...and rootatoot the parking at Worcester hospital can be horrendous (i.e. no spaces) - but there are drop off places and sometimes I find that A&E parking is much emptier than the main hospital parking! If your chosen chauffeur doesn't mind a bit of a walk there are places where you can park which are on local residential streets but be considerate because there has been a big issue since the new hospital opened with people parking across local residents' driveways etc (I know - who would do that, right? But there you go!)... :)

Hi, again, if anyone is still on this thread, I'm 5+4 (so still so early) and near Stourbridge :)

Hi everyone, if anyone is still reading this thread i'm not far from Stourbridge i live in Bewdley. I'm due with my first baby Aug 16th and would love to meet other mums to be :-)

I'm not too far, south Brum. Having baby at the Womens Hosp, this is DC4 but had all my others in another county so this'll be the first time I've used the Womens-hope its okay.

Hey not far I'm Worcester but this is dc3 due 4th august :)

Hi again all hope everything is going well for everyone. just wondering if anyone fancies meeting up for a coffee and a chat sometime? :)

Hi - sorry to ressurect thread, but I'm in the area and would happily meet up - Summertimebaby you must be due any day or be looking after a lovely newborn by now - do message if you'd like to get in touch. (I have a DS who's 6 months)
