The Director is a lady in prob her late 20's maybe early 30's, er her name might be Sarah? Im hopeless with remembering names so I only know the boys Room Leaders by face lol I havent seen anything to make me think they dont take good care of the boys but they only go for 5 or 6hrs once a week. Im considering putting them both in private school affiliated daycare next year like the ones run by the Catholic schools.
I usually drop the boys off at care by 10ish so I might be a tiny bit late so save me a seat

Hey Anna,
Are you taking on Doula clients??? Or is it on hold till after bubs is born now??
I've heard through the grape vine that their is 3 more Doula's starting up in Townsville! Its great to see.
Registered User
Afternoon ladies, how we all feeling?
Anna~ yes i no Sarah just before i left there she was the group leader in the pre-school room i was her assistance she is quiet nice and good at her job. i think the girls i had problems with no longer worked there! I worked there for about 10 months b4 having DS then went back when he was one for a couple more months until **** hit the fan very long story but my mum was the director there for a long time and some girls had it in for her and caused big problems and with in a week 5 staff members walked (including me and mum) and they went from a 5 center room to a two...but that was over 12 months ago now! and i here they have done alot off renovations!
Anyway LoL
Ladies i wont be able to make Fridays meet darn, but im off to Cairns me and DP (ex) are working at things (im a sucker for punishment) anyway he suggested that me him and the kids go to Cairns for the weekend so we leave Friday and come home Monday how nice

I would love to Sara but I havent the foggiest idea how to find them and Ive been a slacker with my study latelyIm starting to wonder if I made the right choice becoming a doula because I cant see how there are enough women to be clients for 5+ doula's in Townsville.

There are plenty of women! Unfortunetely, not many women in Townsville have heard of Doula's. Nearly every person I meet and tell them what I do looks at me weird when I say the word "Doula". But once they realise what it is I do, they think its a great thing.
At the moment there are only 2 of us who are actively taking on clients. The other 3 are either TTC themselves or are busy raising their own families. They are available as back-up Doula's though.
Well I guess at the moment you should just focus on yourself. The birth of your next baby should solidify whether you want to be a Birth Worker or not. Enjoy your pregnancy while it last hun.
Registered User
I never knew what a Doula was until i meet Sarah LoL, do use actually work for the hospitals or for urselfs? And only get jobs when some1 calls you?
I would love to go to uni and do midwifery
Registered User
Sara and Anna, Maybe you should approach Babies Galore, Bay Bee Cino and Lollipos to see if you can put up advertising in the windows or something. Then your target Audience will see them.
I hope I get thatthis week. The travel system I want is on sale at Target! could save over $100! DH wont let me layby it until I have a sticky
Looking forward to Friday!!!
Tanya, Bummer that that centre only goes from 15 months! Em is 14 months next week!

Hey Everyone,
God it feels like forever since Ive been on here! How is everyone????
Court - sorry about adams crying. I have no idea what could be wrong but I hope you sort it soon. Nothing a trip to the Gp wont fix. They'd point you in the right direction.
We have been so busy. Ive cleaned out our house and filled our big trailer full of crap plus all the extra that went into the bins and good will bins. I can see the walls of our garage! We sold my beloved VE commodore so it's a relief to know we dont have to worry about that when we move. Elise, the island is just serene. Amazing and I think it will be hard to be stressed out there for long. With shopping..... there is none! theres a small retrovison but thats it, everything we want including good food gets ordered from darwin and comes in on a barge! sounds hard but way cool!! im going to embrace a island life so much! i just cant wait.. still looks like 5th of jan is bens start date so i guess we'll be leaving here around new years.
twins are goin great, crawling climbing and getting lots of teeth! its fun chasing them now and they are easily entertained so im finding my days are getting easier. they are 1 in just over 2wks, i cant believe i made it or better yet they made it hahaha... all but a blur i have to admit. and we leave for sa for 5-6wks in 4..i just cant wait to be home with my family and mates again, being here has made me feel like i really dont have friends but i do they are just 3000+ kms away!!
welp better go, ben flew out today and i need to start some sort of routine, im spewing school is back, i love holidays coz i didnt have to run around!! maybe ill keep them home a week longer
take care girls!

Anna,
I was just thinking...Have you booked into the Birth Centre??
I have all the details if you need them.
Registered User
Yep Im all good Sara, already seen my midwife once and see her again on TuesdayCant wait til the centre is actually built though so I can take a peek!
Registered User
OK. I need a good, friendly GP. Now. I have been to Health Link on Ross River rd and wasnt particularly impressed. I want a doctor that I can relate to, that respects me and my wishes, and doesnt treat me like another number. This is what my old GP was like and I am sad not to be able to go to her any more. I prefer female GPs. I want to make an appointment for tomorrow afternoon!! Anyone got tips?
Anna, how did you have to book into BC, did the GP give you the info when confirming the pg?
Registered User
I go to Annandale Medical Centre. My GP is Dr Michelle (can't pronounce or spell her last name) and she is amazing. There are a couple of female of GPs at this clinic.
