Perth IVF, Mums, and Mums to be

**bourbon11646** · 25-01-2011 18:53

Hi Everyone!

I thought i would start this thread for us Perth girls who have babies born or due in 2010 or 2011.
It will be for us new mums (or mums already with children but with new babies) to share our experiences and help each other emotionally as we watch our children grow up together.
The idea is to meet up once a month in a child-friendly environment of our choice for a drink & a chat while our children either sleep (if still young!) or if a little older play together.
There will be some times where not all of us will be able to come to the monthly get together (for instance if we are too sleep deprived or our child is sick!) but hopefully if we form a big enough group there will be some people still able to catch up with at that time.
Let me know on here if you are interested and we can contact each other via this thread and once we get to know each other we can share more contact details then.
It will be nice to share experiences with each other of our ttc journey and our little bundle of joy that resulted from it

Hi Bourbon

Sounds great. I am due with #3 in early March 2011. I have an almost 2 yo and a 5 yo who will be starting school next week. We moved to Perth early December for DH's work. DH has family here (not close) so we don't really know many people and would be very keen to meet some people. I'm based in Trigg but don't mind where we meet.

Looking forward to catching up with you and any other Perth mums!

Sonja - that's great! I'm due early April so a month after you :-) where did you move from? I live in Beldon not too far from Trigg. Wow 3 little ones - you have your hands full! You can give us some tips & tricks of the trade.
Looking forward in meeting you all x

Hi Bourbon - great idea!

I was actually thinking of suggesting it for the Perth girls in our due in Apr/May/June thread, so well done for getting it off the ground. I think your idea of extending it to New Mums in 2010/11 is much better, as there are lots of girls who we have cycled with last year who have had their bubs already.

I'm in North Perth, but am fairly relaxed about where we meet...

**bourbon11646** · 26-01-2011 09:08

Babydreaming - I thought the same thing, I wanted to include the girls we cycled with who's babies have already arrived.
It's exciting to meet everyone & their bubbs after so long in this journey together.
And we will no doubt all have similar worries & concerns we can share & help with. We seem to live around the same area & can mix up where we go each time :-)

ROLLCALL: PERTH NEW MUMS 2010 - 2011

Bourbon11646 - 14 April due, gender surprise, Beldon

Think ill do a roll call so we can keep track of everyone who is joining:
Can everyone please add their details or ask someone to do it if you arent sure how

If you can please include your BH name, then the due date or arrival date, followed by the gender (& name of baby if its born already - just the first name), followed by the suburb you live in.

Thanks
