I started with a home birth but ended up going to hospital as I was exhausted and stressed (was a long long birth ) however I wish I had been able to finish at home and will be looking to give birth to second one at home , southwark has great midwife teams to support , I went with briley midwife's , they were great , they also do meet and greets on Saturday mornings with other to be mums considering at home , as well as having a mum there to talk about their home birth and answer any questions you have.

Clois maggorie (may be spelt wrongish!) in covent garden is lovely for a romantic meal for two, or galvins by spitalfields is stunning venue too

Hi, DandySandy - Congraulations!! Is everyone else still fancing a catch up next Weds 18th March? Ginster did you book the table @ the EDT? xxXXxxXXxx

Wednesdays work well for me, hows about Weds 19th March samed time (7.00pm) at EDT? but can do any day xxxx

Hi Everyone, Hope you are all well, and had a great weekend - wasnt it lovely and sunny - and officially the first day of spring! Ginster I dropped you a PM as would love to catch up with everyone again, as there was so many of us - and if you needed a hand arranging - please let me know xxx

Hi, nothing organised, happy to give hubby a nudge to set up if there is interest x

Hihi, nothing organised yet but happy to give hubby a nudge to organise if there are any takers x x

Thanks again Ginny for organising, was a great night - Sorry didnt get to see you and thank you , or get around the table to meet more of you xx Cant wait for the next one for sure xx Hugs to all teh mums and bumps J

7pm cool, I will start getting my socks on now, as seems to take forever to get them on these days!! ;-)

So sorry to hear you are unwell, I know what you mean about being susceptable to everything at the moment! I missed out on the first meeting due to a bug caught at work (I am sure my boss is host zero for everything, and I told him so!) Touch wood nothing has started splattering or falling off today so I think Im good for tonight tho! Feel better soon - sending you and bump hugs. Its 7.30pm kick off isnt it? J

Chloe at the galleon, does a fantastic job, any of them there really.

Hi Everyone, Hope you and bumps are doing well!! Looking forward to the 18th Feb xxx Would anyones other halves fancy a first timer dad beer/catch up before the babies start coming? - discuss the mindfields of pram selection, and car upgrades amongst other things!! There seems to be so much for mums in terms of meeting others in the same boat but not alot for the dads?

Thank you ! Cant wait x

18th is good for me too x

Don't know if anyone else is going to this or has been previously http://babyshowexcel.seetickets.com/event/the-baby-show/excel/823448 baby show at Excel at end of Feb, enter code PB0002 to get tickets for ?10.50 each (instead of ?20.00) or they do other ticket packages on the above link (bottle warmer package and things) Im thinking of avoiding eh crowd where possible and going on the Friday (around 11/lunchtime) my other half will be driving and carrying purchases! so if anyone wants a chauffer and a shopping assistant as well let me know J
