Hi Everyone
I'm seven weeks five days pregnant and very excited. I'm quite petite and my belly is already poking out quite alot, is this happening to anyone else!!?
Also anyone in Brisbane can you recommend any good prenatal/yoga/pilates classes that run after work hours? I work fulltime so its very frustrating that most places only have 11am and 2pm classes going! Much appreciated!
heidi
Only all of us!!!:lol:
It gets worse as you get closer to the end!:lol:
Sorry can't help with the classes ect, sure the others can tho!

Hi Heidi
Welcome & Congrats :D super super super exciting time.... you'll get heaps of support here with each milestone as well which is fantastic :)
I recently joined a pregnancy yoga here in adel but they don't let you do the poses til you're at least 14 weeks on so can only do the breathing and relaxing which is still really nice. Same goes for aqua-arobics. Basically bubs is taking all your energy to grow grow grow.
good luck with it all and looking forward to hearing about it.

Congrats Heidi! So excited for you!!!
I remember when I was counting the individual days (still kind of do but it is going quicker now) It is hard when you cant tell everyone yet as well. The weeks jsut seem to drag!
Make sure you put some photos up int he gallery so you can see how your belly growns and changes.
Cant help with the yoga/pilates classes as I am in Sydney but do a google search (its my answer for everything) :ROFL:
Enjoy this special time. :)
Prob a silly question - but i can't seem to figure out how to put up photos?
Click on gallery up the top and then go to upload photos (which is above everyone elses pics that will come up on the page. It will then give you step by step instructions of what to do :)
Hi Heidi!
If you are due in 7 weeks and 5 days (well 7w,6d today hehe!) then you are due on the same day as me!! Please feel free to join our Belly Buddies group for mums due in the last two weeks of May 09. There are a couple of us from Brisbane too!! :)

Hi Shar!
Thanks for putting me onto the birth club! We are due on the same day! How exciting!Are you showing yet? Having any morning sickness?
Can you tell me how to put those gorgeous little birth calenders up? Thanks!
Heidi x
Happy Monday Heidi!! :)
It is VERY exciting isn't it!! I love looking for all the changes etc etc even if it is a little nerve wracking at times lol!! And yes, my belly is sticking out well past my BBs hahahaha!!! Looking forward to when we can annouce it so I can stop wearing baggy tops hahaha!!
Only a little bit of morning sickness for me... I have my routine to avoid it down pat though. Berocca, bananas and organic wholegrain toast hehe!! I have to have my banana in bed at about 5am or I start to feel a bit BLEGH! I have had to cut orange juice out of my morning routine... too acidic and I really really don't feel like cooking dinner or eating meat. I never eat bread or pasta normally but I can't get enough of it now!! And I am eating tomatoes like they are going out of fashion!! But really, I am not suffering AT ALL compared to some others in the Belly Buddies group!! How about you?? How are you coping??
The pregnancy tickers are easy! Go to either the ones on this site or to Lilypie.com (which allows you to put in a photo), baby-gaga.com for extra bits of information about your bub's development and there are a few others if you google search "pregnancy ticker". Once you have decided which one you want, copy and paste the HTML code (you will know what I mean once you get to it) into your Profile "Edit Signature". If you have any troubles PM me and I will give you a hand! :)
Me too! I think its quite obvious on me though because I'm quite petite but I've just been saying I've been eating alot lol
My morning sickness is dreadful.. it's fine on weekends when I can just sleep it off but as I work fulltime it makes it raelly difficult during the week! I have some morning sickness formula but it only helps a little bit. hopefully it will be all gone by the end of the third month!
Ok well I'm about to embark on getting my pregnancy ticker so wish me luck!!
testing testing! hope i did this right!
Not quite!! Grab the URL code maybe and test that... you can preview your signature in the "Edit Signature" section... good luck!!! :)
oh whoops..im a bit internet illiterate sometimes..plus pregnancy seems to be making me a bit slow!
I figured out why it won't let me..has something to do with my permissions??
No, shouldn't do. Follow these instructions and see how you go:
1. At lilypie.com copy the code in the second box... not HTML but the box entitled "PseudoHTML, UBBCode? or BBCode"
2. Back in the Belly Belly site click on "User Profile" in top left corner of screen
3. half way down the page on the left hand side in "Settings and Options" is an "Edit Signature" option, click that
4. Paste code into the signature section
5. Click on "Preview Signature" down the bottom of that page
Let me know how that goes!! :)
lol How come it lets me when you give me instructions??!! I thought I tried that one! Oh well :) Thankyou!
So do you work? What do you do in your spare time? have you been buying for baby yet?
hahaha!!! YAY!!!!!! :) Baby-brain!!! At least that is my excuse lately hehehe!!
What do I do? Well, we own a software company that we started from our lounge room... my partner now works in the office full-time and I work just part-time from home. I noticed on your profile that you work in law firms!! Well a long time ago I worked in law firms in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, in Admin and HR and then finally in Workplace Relations before getting stuck into the business. Spare time we love motorbikes and our dogs... they get spoilt rotten!! Living at Shorncliffe there are so many great tracks and places to swim so they have a good ole time lol!!
Haven't started buying for baby yet... but I am bookmarking absolutely EVERYTHING that I want lol!!! I am waiting for the 12 week mark... I can't wait!!!
Oh yeah, and we are getting married on Friday lol!!!
Your turn! :)
Oh wow congratulations!!!! Thats fantastic! How long have you been with your fiance? What does your dress look like? i love weddings! Can you tell? lol
Sounds like you guys have really set yourselves up! Good work! I do work for a law firm, I'm a paralegal in mostly commercial litigation though I have worked in all different areas. I'm very jealous you get to work from home! lol
What kind of dogs do you have? My partner and I are going to get one when we move into our new place :)
I've been a bit bad and bought a few little jumpsuits and booties from punpkin patch already! Even my mum has bought little bonds leggings that she couldn't resist! Its all very exciting!
Is this your first?
hahaha!!! Thanks!! It seems weird that we are actually getting married Friday to be honest!! We have been together for 6 years and we have just been too busy until now!! We eventually had to organise it because we wanted to book in a holiday that needed almost a year's notice... so it was a good excuse!! Dress is a gorgeous a-line strapless ivory dress... gathers over one hip with a brooch... very simple, very classic wedding dress!! We are getting married here at Shorncliffe overlooking the jetty with just close family... very intimate!! :) Will be fun!
hahaha!!! Yeah I know, working from home rocks... I love it!! Perfect for morning sickness and for when the little one comes!
We have one medium/small sized bitsa and also a Hungarian Vizsla... here is a link to a few photos of him on the breeder's page... they have been our "children" for so long now lol!! Vizslajoy - Family Any idea what sort of dog you want?
hahahaha!!! Yeah I don't blame you for already having purchased things... my future mother-in-law has been buying up stuff for years in anticipation for this lil one hehe!!
Yeah this is our first! Time was right... tried for three months before one caught... first few months were a bit crazy though because my hormones coming off the pill went nuts lol!! My acupuncturist/naturopath ended putting me on Vitex (chaste tree extract) and I fell straight away thankfully! :) Really really excited!! How about you? Is this your first too?
Sounds gorgeous! You will have the best day!
Ralph is beautiful!!! I love him! lol I really want a bullterrier as I grew up with pig dogs so I like loyal dogs you can rough up! My boyfriends wants a husky..we might end up with two!
Yes this is my first lol.. Wasn't planned at all but was a lovely surprise. We're both over the moon. Tim (my boyfriend) is so excited, its hilarious. I'm only 21 so I'm quite a young mum but a bit of a homebody anyway so it won't be a huge change for us!
So where are you going for your honeymoon/holiday?
haha!! Yeah Ralph is a bit of a clown!! And I bet you do end up with 2 dogs!!! hehe!! You guys will find a way to justify it!!
Yeah we are the same as you guys, homebodies lol!! It seems the "time was right" whether it was planned or not hey!! :) Very exciting!! And there are actually quite a few 21 year olds in our Belly Buddy group!! :)
We are off to Bedarra Island, up off Cairns and on the reef... we have a private part of the island all to ourselves, private beaches, staff leave us alone... perfect!!! We can't wait!! We have been looking forward to this holiday for soooooo long!!! :)
Oh that sounds sooooo good! I want a holiday now!
I have to save my money to buy myself some clothes though! I can't believe I dont fit into my jeans anymore :( Its a bit depressing lol
haha!! Yeah I know, very depressing!!!
Heidi ~ Firstly congratulations on your pregnancy. I too had noticed changes early & i deffinatly started popping at 7 weeks. I'm now constantly getting comments as i'm apparently rather big for 11 weeks :rolleyes: I had to start using a belly belt at 7 weeks.
Thankyou - you too!
Yes sometimes I think I'm subconciously sticking my belly out but then I can't do my pants up so it must not just be me!
We're lucky its coming into the warmer months! That means loose flowy maxi dresses and bikinis yay!
Is this your first? Are you going to find out what you're having?
Yes this is our 1st baby & no we won't be finding out the sex of bubs.
Well i must say that you're very strong willed! I'm dying to know what my jellybean is!!
Hi Heidi!
Welcome to BB!! I am glad you have forund your belly buddies group! There are quite a few young parents and parents to be around here. I am 22 and pg with my 3rd. My oldest was born just after my 20th birthday.
Here is the younger couples chat thread
Thanks for that alioops! Wow very impressive! Onto your third child! Did you have natural births? Did it hurt? lol
I've always felt this way & DH feels the same to. We both want the surprise at the birth of finding out if we have a son or a daughter. Wow that felt strange to type, i just can't wait to meet our precious little baby.:
Our bubs will arrive not only just in time for Mothers day(fingers crossed) but also just before my 35th birthday too. So i'll be blessed with a child for a early birthday present.
Heidi, yes I had natural births, drug free water births. It does hurt but it is a good pain. Dont worry, you will be able to make the choices you want for your birth, and you will do just fine. It is not the means, but the prize that matters most.
Blueiris - What a fantastic present that would be! My boyfriends birthday is about a week before my bub is due, he's kind of hoping it will be early so he can have the baby as his birthday present!
Alioops - What exactly does a waterbirth mean? I'm a bit confused?
Heidi - a waterbirth is when a baby is born in a bath or bithing pool.
Is that safe? How much water? Is that so that its clean?
Sure is! Here is a an article from the main site! Waterbirth Article
hi girls,
Heidi: do you have foxtel? theres a show on the health channel called house of babies.This show has mostly natural water births.Its quite interesting, the nurses also explain things as they go along.:D
Hi Heidi
Congratulations! Have you found a yoga class yet?? Try Yogababy they do after hours classes. I can also highly recommend Active birth yoga, not sure if they do after hours though, they didn't when I had my DS in 06, just day time, but Jane is a fantastic teacher. They both have websites.
