Special Chocolates

Ah brilliant thanks- poor ds2. I was about to book ferry tickets to France in July and TOTALLY forgot that he needed one!

Hello Apologies if this has been posted before - did run a search but couldn't see anything. Does anyone know where to get baby passport photos done now that the place next to mrs Robinson has closed? Thanks :)

I had planned section for breech baby and it was nowhere near as bad as I expected. The theatre staff at kings were lovely, the theatre was bright, sunlit and everyone (bar me and husband!) was very relaxed and recovery was quick and fairly painless. Walking even short distances was very tiring for at least 2 weeks but I was able to look after baby chocolates without issue from day 1. Everyone is different and you may find physical recovery harder, I guess it is partly due to luck and partly due to being in reasonable shape before you go in, but for me the worst part was being on ward for 2 days, that was pretty grim! however I found Ecv very unpleasant and if number 2 is breech I will just let nature take it's course. however your babies arrive will be totally amazing so try not to worry too much - Good luck!!

I would be keen to get involved in a petition or similar but like you say there might be something underway already by Barry rd RA...I bet there are members lurking on EDF who could clarify...

As someone who lives on Barry rd I disagree with comment about people knowing there are some blackspots. Local drivers may but as Barry rd runs paralell to LL but with no traffic lights etc it is often used as a cut through for a) people going way over 30 and b) lorries/coaches who want a quick route to a205. I get why there are no speed bumps as emergency services use it and it's a main bus route but I have often though speed cameras should be installed. Am generally very anti more ways to make driving expensive in London but I think speed people drive down Barry rd is incredibly dangerous and am surprised that it's not site of more frequent accidents. I was even going to write to council about it but scared of becoming a nosy old biddy as it is without a bit of local campaigning!

It really does get easier around 12 weeks! I speak from recent experience as my baby is now 16 weeks but spent first 9/10 weeks of life crying and i never thought it would end, but it slowly got better and things have been so much easier in last month or so... Mine spent 90% of time in a sling - especially when indoors as i could potter around and generally just feel like i wasnt destined to spend rest of my life on the sofa...do you have one? there are probably loads for sale v cheaply on here if not. I found it to be total lifesaver as he would chill out for hours in it. Early evening is the worst as it feels like day has dragged on forever - have you tried feed/bath/story/bed from about 6? baby will probably take a few weeks to cotton on that it means bedtime but doing this every night really helped me feel like i was making (some) progress. :)
