Duck egg cafe on northcross road? Eimear-we're busy that Sunday but from then onwards we don't have very many plans (for the rest of the year...!!!) xx

I won't have started mat leave but have the 31st off as holiday so afternoon coffee sounds good. But will have my 3yr old in tow so hope thats OK. Caroline x

Wow - congrats Jules. Brilliant news. Hope all is going OK xx

We were supposed to be going to this on Saturday but can't now due to chicken pox. Which is a shame. If anyone wants our tickets then they are for sale in the classified section...

Me too. Drinks on 21st sounds good x

AAAAArrrrgh - restless legs!!! They are driving me crazy. Sorry to hear you are suffering too but glad that someone else has it as I thought I was going a bit mental. SOOOOO annoying

I can do 31st x

I can't make this Sunday unfortunately. Have fun though x

Glad to hear you are feeling better. I work full time but I've got Fri 10th off as I've got some friends coming to stay in the afternoon. So could potentially do then (but not til about 11am). But don't arrange around me as my availability is a bit awkward until I start maternity leave x

Me too. See you then x

Good but v v v busy and hectic yesterday

I'm with the lanes and I'm having twins. But I was signed up with the lanes before I realised I was having twins (found out at 12 weeks). But I have to say that although the lanes are great, I do feel like I am wasting their resource as all of my care, scans, consultants etc is being done at Kings. BTW, The lanes have never made me feel like this, it's just how I feel. If your gone 12weeks then it might be difficult to get in with the lanes anyway as they do fill up quite quickly. Hope you work it out for the best x

1030 would work but pls don't worry about rearranging if its gonna be a pain for others.xxx

I can't do 1pm unfortunately. I can do later in the afternoon or early morning but lunchtime I'm busy. Sorry. Please don't reaarrange around me though as its gonna be difficult to find a time that everyone can do x

Lovely to see everyone and all the bumps. Had to stay up extra late getting my work finished.....yawn :-) I can do Sunday @ the gardens cafe also x

Hey, I can make tomorrow eve so see you all then. I might possibly be able to make the June meet up aswell but depends on childcare. X

We're looking over the other side of forest hill so not in the catchment of those two. Near Kilmorie primary school? Although I've never heard Of this school so no idea what it's like...

Hi, We're thinking of moving to Forest Hill from ED. Does anyone have any opinions on the primary schools there? I know it's best to go an have a look round etc but interested in initial thoughts. Thanks all x

Hey, my babies (twins) are due in June. And my son is almost 3. Would love to meet some second time mums x

Me too- I liked the big old meet up. Was lovely to see everyone and looking forward to meeting those who I didn't get to chat to also. Caroline xx

Mothercare do 12-18month pants. And so do asda but the fit and quality of the asda pants are not very good and although they fit round the waist they tend to be baggy on the legs

Claire, I?m so so so sorry to hear that. You poor thing. How horrendous. I?m so sorry there is no words that can ease your pain. Thinking of you at this awful time xxxx

Yes it was heart problems that were indicated, so good to know that your sister's initial worries turned out to be unfounded - thanks. When they are big enough then they'll have a full cardiac scan so we'll know more then. Booking an area in the EDT sounds like a good idea. Would be great if you could book. Thanks x

Sals12 ? where did you do pilates? I?d like to start doing yoga or pilates. In my last pregnancy I continued to run/jog throughout my entire pregnancy but this one I feel so rubbish all the time I haven?t really been doing much at all and I feel very unfit. Glad everyones scans are going well. My first scan showed up some health issues so we?ve got some worries. And with identical twins you have to have scans every other week so it?s gonna feel like I spend my life at Kings!! Looking forward to meeting x

We did NCT classes the first time round and I made some very good friends out of it who I still see a lot of. However, I know a few people who have been in groups with people who did not live nearby or who were moving out of the area (or people they simply didn't get on with). So I guess it's luck in terms of the people you are with. I found the information provided pretty biased and not that useful to be honest. It was very focused on the birth and didn't really cover anything about how to care for a baby. One of the girls in the group was having a planned c-section and so it was kind of irrelevant. And in fact I had a complicated birth and so it ended up being irrelevant for me too. It depends on what you are after. NCT classes are expensive but I'm still glad I did it just because of the great people I met. Not sure if that helps anyone decide....it's only one opinion and I think they vary quite a lot depending on your instructor.
