Pregnant in Bristol?

[Bristolnewcomer]

Got lots of lovely supportive friends in other parts of the country, but would be great to get to know some other women in the same boat here. Anyone?

Hey, I'm Bristol based 👋

Just reached 12 weeks with my first. How about you?

We met lovely people through NCT in Bristol. Could you try that?

I’m pregnant and in Bristol! Am 22 weeks 😊 x

Hello! Sorry I thought no-one had replied to this! Yes I've signed up to NCT classes but they don't start for a while.

Congratulations @ForgetMeNots24 @Dorotheaflood7 - I'm nearly 29 weeks with my first one too. How are you both doing?

I'm Bristol too! I'm 15 weeks with my second 🥰 which area do you all live? I'm near Westbury on trym x

Congratulations! I'm in Bristol too! 20 weeks with my second 🥰

Which hospital has everyone opted for?

@LeopardLover I remember you from a conception board! I've changed name loads i can't remember what it would be! what a small world! I'm going to Southmead, went there with my first too. St Michaels was closer but that hill! No thanks. Where are you going?

Hi! I'm Bristol too and 23 weeks with my second :)

Bristol here too!

24w with number 2 ... Southmead for me again.

@nobleisle Oh no way! 🥰 Ah yes, geez. I had lots of scans at St Michael's (early pregnancy unit) & the hill nearly finished me off.

Nice to see so many Bristol mums! I'm also heading to Southmead again, despite At Michael's being closer. Had a good experience last time (ish... Had a covid baby!)

I'm in Bristol too! 18 weeks on Friday with my first (after a long old slog and IVF). I've gone for St Michael's and had to walk up that bastard hill the other day. From now on I'll be taking the car each and every time.

Southmead for me too! First baby but feeling very well cared for so far

I'm renting near Whiteladies Road at the moment (definitely interested in tips for where in the city is nice to live, somewhere more affordable!!) so going to St Michael's. You're not wrong about that hill though phew.

@Bristolnewcomer brilliant location. I used to go to baby cinema at the every man every Tuesday... i think it's on a Thursday now though. £10 for coffee, cake and a film! Was the highlight of my week. Maybe we can all have a meet up there!

I didn't know about this and I'm keen!

I never got to experience baby cinema last time so definitely keen! 😊

Sorry I hadn’t replied earlier - have had covid - wah! not nice when pregnant.

I seem to be on the up now though. Didn’t expect sneezing could be so painful, I guess the stomach muscles are already working so hard!

I’m 23 weeks & in southville 😊

I know what you all mean about that hill to St Michael’s !

I used to rent there too, on Apsley road! We moved to Brislington just before having our first and I couldn't recommend it more highly for a great place to start a family. I've made so many new friends in the past 3 years through all the local groups. There are so many cafes, parks locally all very baby friendly!

Ps Every time I have to walk up that bloody hill for an appointment, I think what genius decided a great place for a maternity hospital would be right at the top?!?

That sounds lovely! I can’t see that they do a baby club anymore but I can pop in and ask.

it’s nice to hear there are some more of you around! When’s everyone’s due dates? x

14th Feb here but hopefully having a planned section so a week or so before.

6th Feb 🫶

22 March ☺️

I'm 3rd Jan! suddenly doesn't feel like very long!

Omg you're right! They don't! Where Isit!?
I'm gutted!!

I'm due 10th of April but I'm having a planned section so will be abit earlier x
