Hi all, Thanks very much to lucyjessica for alerting me to the correct thread - I came to the June Green and Blue evening (thanks to Anna r for that tip off!) and would love to come to the July 7th one but was writing on the wrong thread! Haven't got my diary in front of me but think I'm free! Hope everyone is really well - I'm counting down the days this week - 3.5 days to go and I'm all done fingers crossed! Available to meet in the day too from next week on if any of the earlier due dates are on mat leave too by then! Lucy xx

Just thought I'd update - we called the maternity line and got our answer - the Thursday evening ones are currently ay 6.30pm. Although by the time they called us through it was more like 6.50pm. Not the most uplifting experience, although glad to have seen the ward in case we end up there (planning a homebirth ideally). Also, we should have followed the midwife's advice at the NHS parenting class who said Monday at 4pm is much less manic; for the Thursday night tour there were 40+ people squashed into one birthing room with no air (and having to stand!) - so not ideal for the heavily pregnat - and I think the Monday option would be a bit calmer!

Hi everyone, Think this is the right place as I gatecrashed the Green and Blue meet-up thanks to a tip off from Anna R! I can't make today unfortunately but start maternity leave next Monday (yay) so would love to join in daytime meet ups from then onwards. I'm nearly 35 weeks now and my due date is 28th July with my first. I met a lot of ladies at the Green and Blue evening which was great! Lucy (long brown hair, there were two of us and think the other Lucy was a week or so further on!) x

Thanks!

Hi all! Just wondering if anyone can help us - we are planning to go to Kings tomorrow for a tour of the labour ward and cannot find the time in any of our notes... does anyone know? I have found a few references online on various forums but they range in time from 3.30 to 7pm! Would be very grateful if anyone who has done the Thursday night tour recently could help! Pretty sure the Monday one is 4pm but confused re: Thursday night! Many thanks, Lucy

Hi everyone, Just found this thread - oops a day late but then again I couldn't have made yesterday! I am 21+2 with my first baby and have found out today that I got a place with Brierley - so pleased as left it quite late to get on the waiting list and they sound so good. I would love to come along on 16th April if the group isn't too full already - I will be madly revising for my final exams but an hour or so to talk babies/homebirths in this area sounds fabulous! See you soon I hope! Lucy x
