Congrats-- Expecting Better is an informative and easy read. You could also join one of the antenatal clubs on Mumsnet. The veteran moms provide a wealth of insight and information and all the new moms can ask 'is this normal for this stage of pregnancy' questions.


There are also meet ups organised here on the forum depending on the season your baby is due so Summer Babies, Winter Babies etc. Do a search of this section.


ESPH do good pregnancy yoga and pregnancy pilates classes which I can definitely recommend.

If you are interested in doing birth preferably without hospital intervention then the best ever book in my and quite a few Mum friends of mine is Ina May's Guide to Childbirth. This was the book that convinced me I could do this... Even if you'd prefer a hospital birth it can really help one understand the whole process and what our bodies are actually capable of doing naturally.

Hiya

My book Pregnancy the Naked Truth is a good read. I teach Pregnancy Pilates in SE15 and if you sign up for a course you receive a free copy of the book. Let me know if you'd like details. Or check out the book on amazon Pregnancy: The naked Truth by Anya Hayes if you'd like to see more about it.

My good friend Zoe is a hypnobirthing teacher in Nunhead and Peckham, and her website is a great place to find inspiration for a positive birth www.hypnobirthingplace.com, she also does taster sessions at Bellenden Therapy Rooms.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! xx

    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.  
    • Yes thanks that's exactly the choices I get.  I will block and if somehow they find a way back I'll report.
