Smile 2 Mums from Brisbane looking for same

Hi to all

We are a lesbian couple with one daughter, Sarah, from brisbane and we are looking to meet other couples like us. (with or without children). We never really did the scene thing so we dont have any gay friends and we would like it if sarah could meet other families like ours.

We would love to chat

Hi Belinda

Glad to hear you are feeling better now.

I was very sick for the first 19 weeks - by then i was starting to show and was really enjoying pregnancy. At 28-29 weeks i got high blood pressure and started to swell and I was hospitalised and Sarah was born (via c section) at 30 weeks.
She was tiny but so perfect and now is a happy, active and loud 3 year old.

Unfortunatly we won't be at pride next weekend due to prior engagements but our email is jblee8278_bigpond.com (that email is connected to messenger so you can contact us on that if you are connected too.)

Have you picked out any names for your little man?
How far along are you?

Chat soon I hope
Belinda and Jeanette

Hi Girls,

My partner (Belinda) and I are planning to start our family next year and are keen to chat to you all about the process and options. We have done a small amount of research but there is nothing like actually chatting to others in the same boat.

We live in Paddington, Brisbane at the moment.

Hope to chat soon!!

Amanda

Hi Amanda

You're certainly in for a thrill ride. (Lots of ups and downs).
My partner (jeanette) and I have a three year old daughter and we are trying later this year for a sibling for her. We are using an unknown donor at the queensland fertility group. They are lifesavers
If you ever want to know anything about the process or the fertility group (or which doctors to go to) i would be happy to have a chat.
You can email me at jblee8278@bigpond.com

Good luck
Belinda

My partner and I have been together 11 and a half years and we are expecting our first next Feb (fingers crossed as it is still early days).

We are in Bray Park on the north side of Brisbane. If a Brissy get together is on the cards, we'd love to join in. Or if the Sunny coast ones are going ahead, message me please.

Hey... I'm lesbian but not in a relationship - can I play too?

I'm TTC as a solo parent - 2nd cycle with an unknown donor in November at QFG. I'm near Caboolture/Redcliffe - northside Bris.

Would love to meet other lesbian mums or mums-to-be... Even if I am the odd one out!
