Hello I'm new to this thread and am around Friday be great to meet other mums. I've got a 2 year old boy who makes me tired so Christ knows what the next one is going to do to me!! Look forward to meeting you all Friday. Claudine

Ah Nina you are ncg? Its Claudine here!! Are you going to drinks on 20th and where is it?

Hi Helen I found the thread!! I will be going to the meet up on the 6th at Clockhouse so see you all then if you can make it. Claudine

Hello Snap I also have a very energetic 2 year old and am expecting mid August so would love to meet up!! I'm also on the original summer babies group worth posting on there as I know there a few second times mum on there. Claudine x

oh how exciting lots of august mums!! I'm around this bank holiday weekend as well, shall we do a meet up at 10:00 at the Gardens http://www.thegardensdulwich.com/index.htm I've just been diagnosed with gestational diabetes (again!!) which means I'll be induced at 38 weeks so will be more like first two weeks in August now that i give birth I can give more detail around the epi-no if anyone wants to know more :) Am around on 21st as well Claud x

Hello HC75 :) I'm also due mid August and am a second time mum (he is 2 end of May) I also think Emma was who I met at the east dulwich tavern meet up a few weeks ago is due August and currently has a bubba too. (Emma if I've got your name wrong apologies I can't even remember my own name some days!!) Is there anyone else due August? Let me know and I will try and arrange a coffee?? Oh I totally forgot to tell the ladies I met that night about the Epi-no I used for first birth. It's not that elegant to use however I swear that it stopped me Tearing and mates who have used it also didn't tear. It's ?90 worth every god damm penny I say . It's basically a balloon that you put inside you and gradually pump up to 10cm (size of baby head) and then muscles and skin are used to this size when giving birth. Claudine xx

Hi everyone I am very late to this thread but I'd love to join you all on Tuesday if I can? I'm due in August . Im called face as funnily enough my face is round so you should be able to recognise me :) Real name is claudine!!

congratulation sarah and queen man well done to both if you!! Audrey sorry didn't make Wednesday just too tired! the 8 week tiredness has peaked!! hope to see you all at next meet up claud x

Hello!! I might have to go to Essex to see my dad but if not I'll be there!! Claud x

Sounds good to me too and it's just by my house!! Claudine

Hello all Thought it was time i stopped staring and let you all know that Alfie Cater was born on 29th May at 5:09am in Kings!! I would have posted earlier but after 2 days at home sniffing and staring at Alfie i had to go back in with swollen feet and headaches and was made to wear those sexy stockings for another 2 days in hospital whilst they worked out i had post natal hypertension, bit of a shame as feel like have missed out on time with Chris and Alfie at home but never mind better to be safe than sorry. Kings were amazing so anyone going there rest assured you will be looked after :) i was induced on Friday and had Alfie on the sunday and had a doctor and midwife for the entire time, advice to anyone who gets induced sleep as much as you can before they break your waters as it's very tiring i was made to walk up and down camberwell for 8 hours to get things moving (at times like that you wish they had good shops and not just peacocks!!) by time it came to pushing i was asleep!! So as of Monday im on my own and i must admit it's quite daunting as Chris has been such a help the days seem to fly by and just going out takes me about 4 hours of planning!! Audrey soz didn't get back to you about walk in park i have had to have midwives round every day to monitor my blood pressure and they don't tell you when they are coming so its difficult to leave the house and at night times im normally sititng there with a madonna like boob/bra contraption strapped to my chest expressing milk which im sure Darren might find a bit odd on a first get together so i need to get my milk sorted into a routine (how bizarre that you need to train your boobs) but you do or they bloody hurt!! Not sure if you guys sorted out a meet anywhere but I'd love to get out on my own on Tuesday to get over this first hurdle so how about Tuesday in the Chandelier about 12:00ish on Lordship lane it's a cute place to go and have tea and cakes? or if you have sorted somewhere else ill attempt to get there so you can meet Mr Cater junior Claudine xx

Hello What sort of time are you thinking on Wednesday i was presuming because everyone is preggars it would be early and i have reflexology finishing at 6.30 so can do after that time? Claudine

Sounds like a lovely idea! i can do Monday 23rd, tuesday 24th, thursday 25th and Friday 26th so as you can see im also rock and roll and am out partying every night ....NOT!! Claud x
