A few days later after Christmas Niamh wakes rather early as she has her first yoga class which specialises in pregnancies.

She finds her gym outfit that she brought since being pregnant since her old one doesn't fit anymore.

Niamh changes into her gym clothing and ties her hair up into a quick bun and goes to check on Matthew who is fast asleep.

She smiles to herself as she sees him still fast asleep.

She closes the door slowly and quietly before heading downstairs and having a light breakfast.

She heads into the kitchen and sighs as they have run out of the cereal she has.

Niamh looks at what Matthew has got left in cereal and decides to have a small bowel of coco pops.

She finishes that off and tidies the kitchen. She makes sure she's got her bag and grabs her keys.

She drops Joe a text to tell her she's at the gym because he is still asleep.

She puts her phone back in her bag and heads to the gym.

When Niamh arrives at the gym she books herself in and gets directed towards a sports hall.

She's introduced to the instructor and is told where to put her bag.

Niamh sits and waits and before long another woman joins her and starts to speak to her.

"Hi, is this your first?" The lady smiles.

"My first yoga lesson In a long time, but my second baby" Niamh smiles.

"This is my first" she lady smiles.

"Oh lovely, boy or girl?" Niamh smiles.

"Were not finding out, what about you?" She asks.

"Same, I'm too nervous to find out. I've already got a little boy, who turned six on Christmas Day" Niamh smiles.

"Oh a Christmas baby, how special" the lady says.

"It really wasn't, he was a week overdue, and I went into labour the day before. The bloody sod wanted a Christmas birthday" Niamh laughs.

"Stubborn boy, oh I'm Lisa by the way" Lisa smiles.

"I'm Niamh" she smiles happily. "He defiantly was and still can be stubborn, just like his dad" Niamh chuckles.

"Two peas in a pod?" Lisa smiles.

"Defiantly, I'm glad my husband has a son... I'm just praying for a little girl" Niamh smiles as she watches the instructor walk in.

"Are you planning to find out or waiting?" She asks.

"Waiting, I'm almost seven months now. I don't look it but I am" Niamh smiles.

"Really, you've got a cute little bump" Lisa says.

Niamh laughs and smiles "yeah, it is, my husband finds it cute too" Niamh smirks.

"I bet he does, I feel like I'm ballooning" Lisa smiles.

"It'll get easier, I miss seeing all my feet, I just see toes now" Niamh laughs.

"I'm passed that now" Lisa laughs.

"When you due?" Niamh questions.

"I got about 3 months left" Lisa smiles as the instructor calls everyone to start the class.

Niamh stands up and walks over a little unsure of what's happening. Everyone is told to stand in the middle, as the instructor starts to talk about what the class is about.

The instructor tells everyone to get a yoga mat and to set out around the hall.

She tells them all to sit in the middle of the mat as she does the same.

As she does it she has to sit herself down on the floor, something she hasn't done without Joes help, these past few months. She slowly lowers herself and then wonders how she'll get herself back up.

The instructor starts them off by doing some light stretches.

They do a few more light stretches before getting into the swing of things "so if you put your feet facing together and push your knees down before leaning slightly forwards so you feel a slight pull in your lower back" the instructor smiles.

Niamh does it and pauses for a moment as she can feel it in her legs.

She takes deeps breaths as she does it and the Leans forwards a little more.

She gets them to then stretch to each side. Niamh takes a deep breath as she's rather uncomfortable as the baby is moving also.

She gets them to lay on their back with their knees up.

"This is the most painful thing going" Niamh laughs as she looks at the woman she's been speaking to next to her.

"You can feel it then" Lisa laughs.

"Oh definitely" Niamh laughs. It's only an hour class and Niamh's really feeling it.

She puffs as she manages to get herself back up and she do some more stretches before the five minute break.

She slowly stands herself back up and has some of her water. While on the break the instructor goes over to see Niamh and introduces herself.

"Hi I'm Victoria, I haven't seen you here before, first day?" She smiles.

"Well I used to do the yoga lessons on a Friday evening around six years ago... but it's been a while" Niamh smiles.

"What's your name?" She smiles.

"Oh sorry, how rude I didn't introduce myself. I'm Niamh" she smiles.

"Hi Niamh, I run two classes each week if you like this one" Victoria says.

"I'll have to see about another class, my husband is very busy and I've got my son to look after" Niamh explains.

"Would you husband be able to make next weeks class? It's prenatal themed and he would learn a lot" Victoria smiles.

"Oh that sounds good, I'll have to check with him when he's free" Niamh smiles.

"Most partners will be coming next week. Or there is the Tuesday class if it's any easier" Victoria explains.

"Great I'm sure he'd love to come" Niamh says.

Victoria gets up and calls the class back. She calls everyone back on their mats and demonstrates move poses for them.

For the rest of the class Niamh seems to enjoy herself and finds some positions really help her lower back pain.
