Ms Christ said Allison was supposed to drive the children to camp in 2012 but cancelled because she wasn't well enough. #badenclay

And to have that on the public record. How many women suffer from post natal depression, but you don't necessarily want your children to associate that with their birth. It is all too sad, and barely day two.

Ms Christ said Allison was worried about her weight and had started walking in the mornings. #badenclay

The news GBC was giving her that his lover will be at the same conference. No way that wouldn't have caused a commotion. jmo

And that GBC seemed to have some odd bruising and a cut hand and scratches on his face at the time of her dissapearing on a 14km walk

It's so sad that someone talking about depression can be so damning in a murder inquiry. jmo

Especially when the depression was many years ago. Possibly post natal depression. Normal natural and a passing thing.
Should not be confused with Anxiety (which she should have been suffering; if living with so much horribleness over a protracted time frame.) Very de-meaning.

12:44pm: Mrs Christ last saw Mrs Baden-Clay on the day she disappeared.

The two mothers discussed putting their names on the Mother's Day stall. Mrs Baden-Clay also told Mrs Christ about the recent birth of her nephew "and she was very excited about that".

"Were you aware that Allison desperately wanted a male child?" defence counsel Michael Byrne asked.

Mrs Christ said she was not aware of that.

"She seemed fine and she seemed happy," Mrs Christ said.

I think a lot of women can attest to going through much the same experience as Allison in regards to the pressures of life with kids.

She doesn't sound like she was crippled by any depression or anxiety though and she was still very active in the community and working. She is a strong woman who was doing a great job!!

12:35pm: The seventh witness to take the stand is Fiona Christ.

Mrs Christ, whose husband went to school with Gerard Baden-Clay, became a close friend of Allison Baden-Clay when she started dating Mr Baden-Clay in 1996.
12:35pm
The women celebrated the births of their children together, Christmases, holidays and other special occasions.

She said Allison started her own ballet school at Brookfield State School where her three daughters attended.

"It was a dream of Allison's to have her own ballet school," Mrs Christ said.

"Allison loved her children dearly, she wanted the best for them and she was a very nurturing, caring mum."
