Hi everyone!

I am moving up to Bracken Ridge (North Brisbane) from Sydney in about 5 weeks time and like many of you am looking for a mothers group. My husband is in the Navy and will be based in Brisbane. I have a 7 week old little boy Fraser and am starting in a mothers group down here but unfortunately will only be able to attend for a few weeks before we move. I have made inquiries with some of the community centres around my new area and also on the net but dont seem to be having any luck. Is it different in Brisbane than Sydney? Down here it is the norm that after coming out of hospital they put you in touch with your closest Early Childhood Centre who then organise a mothers group for all the new Mums. Maybe im just looking in the wrong place??

Does anyone know of any in or around the Bracken Ridge area or want to start our own group where we can meet for coffee/lunch/walks etc? I have also just joined a walking group down here for new Mums called strollercise. Its awesome and you get to bring bub along while you walk and do a few other exercises along the way. I noticed they have walking groups run by the Heart Foundation in Bracken Ridge and other areas but nothing aimed specifically at Mums with strollers. Would be great if anyone was interested in doing something like that also. Its not so fun on your own!! Would be a great way for us all to meet new friends and get our fitness back too!!

If anyone is interested in any of the above or knows if something is already up and running I would really appreciate hearing from you on here or at jodesgreen@hotmail.com

Thanks and hope to hear from you soon
