I'm going to ask to be shown around anyway but won't stress if I can't be. I just don't want the main emphasis to be the whole medical/intervention side of it.

Have been to Holywell (and in fact been to visit the holy well there) but am from opposite side of the country, Essex (born in London).

Yeah, should meet at some point, but I work full time and we are pretty full on with the house at the moment. But some time out would be great.]]> Fri, 27 Feb 2009 08:04:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23660&PID=624135&title=timaru-mums#624135 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23660&PID=623539&title=timaru-mums#623539 Author: Keoedy

Hey Gardengirl how are you doing, where abouts from England are you from as my hubby is from Holywell in North Wales born in Tamworth.
I think hospital are the best antenatal classes for your first bub because you get shown around the maternity unit and where everything is etc but after that I would say the parent ones as they tend to be more social and people stay in contact more.

We should all get together sometime have a coffee morning or something.]]> Thu, 26 Feb 2009 14:37:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23660&PID=623539&title=timaru-mums#623539 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23660&PID=620393&title=timaru-mums#620393 Author: Gardengirl

I've only just stumbled on this thread - hello! I know katep from the Aug thread (*waves*) and keoedy a little already but I'm originally from the UK, have lived in Chch and then Auckland until last year when we sold up and shifted here - DP was born here and we've intended to live here for a while now. Live out of town on a lifestyle block and LOVE it, although I do sometimes miss not just the shops but the longer opening times of bigger towns/cities. Don't miss life in the city though!

About antenatal classes - my mw said both are good but feedback from her ladies over time says that the hospital ones are more 'hospitalised' or 'medicalised'. As I think the whole pregnancy/birth thing has already become more of a medical problem to be dealt with than a natural process I'll be opting for the parent centre classes. Haven't done anything about it yet though. Apparently they like to have you booked by about 19 weeks.]]> Sun, 22 Feb 2009 22:16:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23660&PID=620393&title=timaru-mums#620393 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23660&PID=619251&title=timaru-mums#619251 Author: Keoedy

No both of the boys were born in Timaru I flew back here on my own whne I was 6 months preg with the first and then hubby flew over about 3weeks before he was due. We only lived in Timas though until our youngest was 3months and then moved to Tokoroa.
Heres my cell number 027 3734368 give me a text and we can get together at some stage and I will tell you everything I can remember lol.

Are you going to find out the sex? I have my 12week scan in a week n a bit looking forward to that cos that will be the first time I will knw for sure its there lol.]]> Fri, 20 Feb 2009 17:28:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23660&PID=619251&title=timaru-mums#619251 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23660&PID=618125&title=timaru-mums#618125 Author: Flanosau

Sorry Keoedy it's taken so long to reply. Baby brain has really kicked in! Yes, I'm working full-time, will try to until about 38 weeks depending on how I feel. I think I'd go stir crazy if I didn;t work! I know what your hubby measn about the pace change. So you haven't had a child whilst in Timaru I guess? I'd love to get some info about what it's like at the hospital and what the rooms are like. I'm booked in for a tour but not until April.

I'm 18wk 1 day today and my BF has asked me to slow the baby down as the house is not nearly ready yet, ha ha! I ahve a scan with Dr wermeister next week, can't wait!

Yeah I know the feeling when I got preg with my first I was living in the UK in Coventry and it was horrible I couldn't even get a doc to see me. The first time I had any help was when I moved back here at 25 weeks. My husband is from North Wales so he really misses the pace of things in the UK as compared to Timas. We have been back in Timas now for about 1 and a half years. Are you working here?]]> Fri, 13 Feb 2009 15:28:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23660&PID=613684&title=timaru-mums#613684 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23660&PID=613416&title=timaru-mums#613416 Author: Flanosau

hi ya no I'm not, moved here from London but originally form Australia. I've been in Timaru for less than a year with my boyf.

BIG change!!! I really miss the shopping. And the cafes. And the people. But slowly getting used to it...But I think the real secret is to get out into the surrounding area as much as possible.

Impressed with the amount of care you receive though. An MW AND an OB for free. And I guess having a kid here is good in a way as life is very easy so I won't have to worry too much about all the hassles I would have had in the UK such as trying to get from one place to another with a baby in tow.

It is quite annoying at the moment eh I am using up the last of my winter wood for this year tonight.

So far my pregs have always been late the first was three weeks over due and the second 1 week, very frustrating cos you are so over it by then.

Are you not originally from Timas then Flanosau]]> Thu, 12 Feb 2009 21:20:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23660&PID=613057&title=timaru-mums#613057 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23660&PID=613039&title=timaru-mums#613039 Author: Flanosau

thanks fellow timaruvians! And thanks for the advice, I think I will go with the hospital one.

You never know Katep you may be early then you'll def be July mum. I imagine I'll prob be late then end up in the August thread. Am looking forward to seeing the baby at the next scan.

It's too cold here today, is summer always like this??]]> Thu, 12 Feb 2009 21:13:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23660&PID=613039&title=timaru-mums#613039 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23660&PID=612429&title=timaru-mums#612429 Author: Keoedy

Hey Flanosau great to see someone else in Timas Kate and I were getting lonely lol. I went to the hospital for both of my last two, I think they are just as good as each other its really just up to you. The reason I went to hospital is they show you round the maternity ward and you get to know some of the staff there, but thats about the only difference. Ask your midwife when to go she will organise it for you and get you in with a group of people all due within about 2weeks of you. ]]> Thu, 12 Feb 2009 11:42:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23660&PID=612429&title=timaru-mums#612429 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23660&PID=611864&title=timaru-mums#611864 Author: Katep

Hi I am having my first due in July.... I'm in Timaru and starting to get organised with antenatal classes, should I go Parent's centre or hospital ones?

Not many mums in here considering the high birth rate here!
