Try a Hypnobirthing session or course with Lisa Toth. I read the book but also did a weekend course with my husband a few months before I had my son. I used LOADS of the techniques during the labour and birth. I did the course at the Sunflower Centre, but she also runs one day workshops at Yogarise in Peckham (where she also teaches pregnancy yoga). I also found the yoga helpful but the visualisations and mindset (from listening to the various meditations) were defo from the Hypno stuff. :) Lisa's website is: https://www.anjaneyayoga.co.uk/pages/hypnobirthing.html Good luck mammas-to-be! xx

Hi there In July we are moving to Honor Oak Park and sadly will probably have to move the childminder for my little boy, as they are Peckham based. Does anyone know of a reputable, loving childminder in or near Honor Oak Park? I know this is a forum for 'East Dulwich' but maybe you have a friend in Honor Oak who raves about how great their childminder is, or perhaps you yourself have moved there from East Dulwich? Any help gratefully welcomed. Thanks Em

Just a quickie to say many thanks to those of you who got back to me about dates/times for Pregnancy Yoga at Yogarise Peckham. I appreciate how tricky it can be to juggle work and other family commitments so great to get a few opinions. We have now moved the class from Saturdays at 3.30pm (which was proving difficult for people to get to) to 6.15-7.15pm Tuesdays. For more inf?, prices etc, please refer to my post in the What's On section, or email me [email protected] with any questions. Many thanks Em x

Thanks for all your replies! For now, the class will stay at 3.30pm but I know that this may not be the most convenient time. When we have a timetable re-shuffle, I will be sure to try and reposition it in the morning (10am if I can!) Yazmin Low (Mez / @YogaWonderUK) is one of the most popular teachers on our timetable (teaching Yin and Yin-Yang), a mum herself and hugely experienced in antenatal yoga. Here is a little more about the class if you are able to join us: A slow and flowing sequence integrated with specific ante-natal postures to help you stay grounded, light and energised during pregnancy, while also helping to relieve many common pregnancy ailments. Breath and visualisation exercises will enhance your experience by creating physical, mental and emotional well-being, cultivating courage and wisdom. The class will leave you feeling relaxed, nurtured and empowered having made a new network of supportive friends. Suitable from 12 weeks of pregnancy to birth. About Yazmin... During her pregnancy, Yazmin went on to study with some of the pioneers of prenatal yoga and birth, further training as a Doula with the world renowned obstetrician Michel Odent. She leads pregnancy yoga classes and private birth preparation sessions, feeling both passionate and privileged in being able to support and guide new mums and dads through their journey from pregnancy into parenthood.

Here is our website if you're interested: http://www.yogarisepeckham.com We currently have pregnancy yoga with Yazmin Low on our timetable for 3.30-4.45pm, Saturdays If you'd like any more info, please do ping me an email: [email protected] Many thanks

Hi there I am Emma, a yoga teacher and local studio owner, and I just wanted to get some general feedback about when our pregnancy yoga class should run? We don't (at the moment) have any weekday evenings free (but this could change), so do let me know if this is what you would prefer. For now though, we are looking at weekends. This week, our first week, we are running it at 3.30pm-4.45pm on Saturday (which works with our schedule and our teacher's), but we are not sure if this is a good time???? Would Saturday morning be preferable? And if yes? Would 8.30am be too early? Or is it good to get it out of the way first thing? Any feedback and preferred times welcomed as I would rather have it on a day/time that suits most people. Many thanks in advance Em x
