Pregnancy Yoga

The Tyssen Children’s Centre on Oldhill Street, N16 provide some fantastic services. I attended the first of a new pilot in pregnancy yoga yesterday. The class runs weekly and they need to spread the word in order to maximise attendance and sustain funding. We have an hour and a half of yoga followed by an opportunity to chat with Lucy a local midwife over tea and coffee.

Yoga instructor Carmen: Wednesday’s 10am - 12pm

Hunger ache
I’ve just eaten ‘spaghetti mama’ (not a concious association at the time) with a glass of red … Deep fried mushrooms to start. I need, I mean NEED!! to eat. Everything about the food is sensuous, satisfying, fulfilling YUM. Trouble is, my stomach gets packed way before my mouth is ready to stop. End up in the difficult position of still looking at the temptation in front of me but not being able to accommodate it…

It’s a bit disappointing when even small bite-size sandwiches feel like a brick has landed but I suppose this some how brings some control into the management of hunger pangs. If I were always this hungry or lets say keen to taste, I’d be HUGE. Baby helps limit the amount I can physically consume by stealing all the space in there.
