Oct Expectant Buddies

- Start date
Hi Everyone,
It was great meeting some of you yesterday, a very enjoyable 3hrs!
I'm sure we all could of kept talking all afternoon!
It seems that most people are keen to keep meeting during the week, as weekends seem to be busy for everyone.
We were thinking of maybe making the next one a late afternoon so that people can come after work. Maybe Thursday? 4ish?
XOX I can't remember what time you finish work.
Cheers,
Matty.
It was great to meet all of you who were able to attend the lunch on Friday. Thanks again for organising it Matty. I look forward to getting together again soon. Unfortunately I won't be able to make the Thursday afternoon get-together as I have an ongoing commitment every Thursday from 4pm. Hope you all have fun and I hope to catch the next one.
Hi everyone,
I'm new to this thread and very excited to see so many of you expecting in Oct. This is my first and I am due 15th Oct. It seemed I missed out on the big lunch on Friday but would love to meet up with you all next time. I teach 4.00 - 7.30 during the week so lunch is good for me. I am living out in Clear Water Bay but come to HK Island for working and can do weekends too.
It seems I've been lucky so far with no sickness just tiredness but nothing too bad. Slowly expanding and finding more things in my wardrobe I can't wear!
Look forward to catching up with you all soon.

Ladies,
It was a delight to meet for lunch last week. Thanks for the insightful conversation ... I can only imagine where the conversations will lead as we grow. I hope that by switching our meeting times around we will be able to accommodate those of you with less flexible schedules.
I've attached a link about the Bella Band that we discussed. It is a handy accessory that allows you to leave your pants unzipped and also fit into maternity clothes a little sooner. They look like the bottom of a tank top, so you aren't just stuck wearing long shirts. I bought two in the US and have only worn them a couple of times ... someday very soon they will become a staple in my wardrobe.

I don't believe that they are available here in HK, but http://www.marriagecarriageandmore.com/ ships internationally.

Hi everyone,
It was so nice to finally meet up and chat! It was amazing how the time just flew by.
Matty, Thanks again for organising it. I actually finish school at 3:30 and can meet you guys at 3:45. Don't worry about working around me. I understand that we can't find a time to suit everyone. I'll definitely come along when I can.
Bets & Rani,
Thanks for the info regarding the belt. I will definitely look into it in the next few weeks.
I'm feeling very nervous about tomorrow's 12 week scan / tests.
Cheers,
xox

Hi,
I have had 2 ultrasounds and tomorrow I go for nuchal test so that will make it 3 as well and I'm 12 weeks. I don't know if having so many is a good thing. I think if all is ok the next one will be the big one at 22 weeks.
If you are all meeting up on Thursday 13th after 4 I will be able to make it for a couple of hours

So far I have had three ultrasounds (I am 14 weeks today). 8 weeks, 10 weeks, and 12 weeks (nuchial fold test). So many scans because I moved here between weeks 8 and 10 and wanted to meet my new Dr asap. I've read in quite a few places that the scans have not been found harmful to baby. I'll bet that they help because they help nervous mom's to relax a bit.
Have we decided on a coffee venue for Thursday? Perhaps Pacific Coffee Company on Hollywood Road? I can be there at about 3:45 to gather some seats.
Rani, the Yummy Mummy Body Wrap looks just like my Bella Band. You are too good!
xox - All the best to you today!

Hi Guys,
Thanks Bets & Gift Queen for your warm wishes. Had the scan yesterday and everything seems to be going well. The scan quality / picture was not very good. Will probably try another doctor for a 3D / 4D scan later on.
Gift Queen - good luck with your tests on Friday. I'm sure it will all go well for you.
Meeting up would be great, but perhaps we should change the day as Gift Queen can't make it. I would love to see most of the original group there again.
Matty's our social rep., so let's see what she thinks!?!

Hello,
We can have it this Friday so giftqueen can join us. Actually i have a class on Thursday night, so i have to be in a hurry if we push thru on Thursday.
Have you had your nuchal scan, xox? what's the size? mine is 1.1, doctor says it's normal though i want to know other's number. He said below 1.5 is okay.

Hi Guys,
Sorry I have been a bit slack as social secretary this week, but we've had visitors and I've been flat out!
As it's late notice how about sticking with the Thursday afternoon this week as there seems to be a few that can make this.
Bets, Pacific coffee on Hollywood sounds great.
Shall we say Pacific Coffee at 3.45 Thursday?
next week we should go back to Friday as it seems better for most. Would people prefer lunch or afternoon?
See you there!
Matty.
