Expecting Moms Get Together

Hi ladies,

I am a FTM due at the end of May and was wondering if anyone would be interested in getting together to chat about pregnancy/how things are going? I am relatively new to the area and don't have a large social circle in the city - especially not other moms-to-be. This little group could take any shape people need but I'm thinking we can share our experiences and offer additional support to one another throughout pregnancy. I'm also interested in discussing natural parenting, hypno-birthing, prenatal yoga, etc.

Feel free to reply here or email me at: lacash@gmail.com

Best,
Lisa

    Where in the suburbs are you ladies? I don't have a car but if I can get there via CTA I'd happily make the trip :)

    I'm also planning to attend the Chicago Bump Club dinner in January if you're interested: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/january-bcbumps-expectant-mom-dinner-whats-up-doc-bcbs-pediatrician-panel-tickets-14847558447

    @nbuczek would you be interested in attending the bump club dinner? It would be a nice place for a few of us to meet and decide on future meetings/meeting places :)

    I definitely forgot to come back to this board to see if there were other responses after I posted, I only bump mobile so I don't get notifications and what not.
    I will not be available for the dinner in January but I am also into BF, cloth diapering, natural and organic, prenatal yoga and pilates.
    @LAO12‌ , where did you find prenatal yoga in naperville? I found a pilates place but not yoga... I am about 30 minutes west of Naperville but used to live close to downtown...

    Universal spirit yoga in naperville. By the high school. I am in Geneva and this is the least expensive place that I have found (on a super tight budget) that looks nice. You have to be 14w so going to check it out February.

    I am planning on doing hypnobabies and right now we are working with the instructor to add a class based on scheduling issues, if anyone is interested in the area, she is based in crystal lake and I could host in either McHenry or Yorkville...

    nbuczek  - OMG you are right next door!!! How awesome!  So planning right now at Delnor but considering transferring to CDH (and switching OB/MFM) b/c of the twins (I really want a NICU available).  You?  CDH offers a multiples baby class which I am going to sign up for.  I am also going to sign up for prenatal yoga at CDH ($10 a class!!!).  I haven't gotten any farther in the plans yet. lol.  13w today :)  PM me and we can chat more!

    Hello Ladies,

    I am also a FTM due in May.  I live in the suburbs too...think its a great idea and welcome the idea of getting together. 

    Thanks. Helen

    Ooh! I'm a FTM and I've signed up for the prenatal yoga class at CDH on Saturdays beginning in February. I'm due in early June and my partner convinced me to try it out. Anyone else?

    calsurb   I go to the Wed night class at CDH.  I have done yoga in the past and was not always fond of it.  Prenatal is more stretching than anything.  I enjoy it but I will not be re-signing until March when I am a little further along.  Hope you like it!
