About
The idea for this site occured to me a few months back when I found out I was pregnant. Pregnancy here in Shanghai and in China in general seems to be viewed as a time when women not only have to totally lose their sense of style but also a time when taking care of oneselves involves drinking lots of milk, overeating and not doing any exercise; of course this view does not spread to the expat community which I belong to.
For me pregnancy has become a time to celebrate my feminity and feel truely alive and I would love to share some of my views with other women and parents out there.
I have been slowly finding out about the support network available for women during pregnancy and early parenthood and thought it might be a good idea to collect and share the information on this website. I’m also hoping that this space will develop into a discussuion forum for any issues mothers and fathers wish to discuss with the local community.
Please get in touch with me if you find that any of the information is incorrect or if you have any activity you’d like me to add to the lists. Enjoy!
Hello Bettina!
We finally opened our shop in Wukang Lu (please see comment on 23rd of June 2009) and it turned out really nice. We are all very excited about it.
Would there be a possibility to advertise our shop on your website?
Please let me know! Thank’s in advance for your help!

Hello,
We are starting group reformer classes in our studio in the Fall. We have purchased 5 reformers for our studio designed for group classes. Do you think there would be some interest in a pre/post-natal class?
Hello Mummies,
I just wanted to grab you attention!
The next time you are holding a birthday party for your kids, look at doing a ‘KIDS TENNIS BIRTHDAY PARTY’.
I’m a aussie tennis coach and can come to your court or you can come to the Hilton Hotel where they will also make a cake there for you.
The kids will have a lot of fun
Cheers
Liam
