ok sounds good, yes I was going to walk to one of the parks anyway for my daily overdue waddle to try and bounce the baby out....

See you all then in the cafe, fingers crossed the weather is nice still, it would be lovely to meet your (big) little one bellenden bear!

Hi girls :)


Only just joined this thread.


I am due 6 May, having a c section at Kings... and having a girl!


Anyone due around the same date?


It is my firt and I don't know many people in the area so happy to meet for morning coffees, lunches, walks ect.


I could meet anytime on Friday 8 April or Monday 11 April.


Anyone around? With or without babies ;)


Alexa

Hello, I have a two week old baby boy, my first. I'd love to meet up with Mum's in the area, please let me know ... Alexa I am going to Townley Road Breastfeeding cafe thing this Monday, but I could meet up the week after ... not on a Monday. I am up for any coffee mornings etc.


Jenni

Hi Jenni and Alexa,


I think the silence might be down to a few people giving birth at the moment or being induced! But subject to any surprises, I should be around this week. I could make Tuesday morning if that's good for others?


Looking forward to meeting you, and congratulations Jenni on the new arrival!

Hello spring baby ladies, just to let you know baby f arrived yesterday, 13 days late after 3 sweeps, 2 acupuncture sessions, gallons of rasperry leaf tea, too many curries & pineapples to count, lots of long walks, driving over speed bumps, twice daily clary sage oil tummy massage etc. I gave up on it all on sat & accepted we were going to have to be induced on mon so went out for fish & chips & mushy peas & low & behold along he came yesterday in a lovely home birth! Yey!

Hope to catch up in a few weeks, with hopefully some of our other new arrivals x

Me too...!


Anyways - would any of the toddler encumbered amongst us (or anyone else who doesn't mind keeping their beady eye out for small rioting people) fancy a take away coffee park meet one afternoon after nap? My coping strategy for life with two is to get out as much as possible but I am struggling on my own at the parks with toddler and baby (imagine runaway small boy with ball/need to chase/baby in pram scenario) and feel that strength in numbers may help....

Snowboarder, I could possible do Friday (unless I have a baby of course, something which I have just about given up on). I am still a bit traumatised from waddle-chasing my runaway toddler across Peckham Rye last week and trying to carry her, bag, football, dolly in pram etc to get to my midwife appointment. But I will give it a go, perhaps more effectively as a baby watcher rather than toddler chaser. Or perhaps they behave better in packs?

Will also be at the Wooden Circle thing tomorrow, weather permitting.

Thanks ladies, I feel so lucky to have had him at home & truly thought we wouldn't make it which makes it all the more special

don't worry bb, she will come in her own good time, just relax and don't reply to all the messages from well meaning friends & family asking if she has arrived yet! Oh & perhaps try the mushy peas at sea cow !-)

Thanks again snowboarder for all the pillows etc! They were really handy!

Hope to get out & about at some point over the next few weeks & hopefully we will have a mini yaklett & mini bear as well by then :-)

Good luck ladies x

    • They’ve overhauled the kitchen and I gather they have a new chef. Also, a new menu is on the way.   What with Norbert’s arriving soon on Melbourne Grove, there’s going to be an Interesting offer down there.   
    • I watched this BBC expose on the news a week or so ago and wasn’t surprised at what they found although ii’s shocking when you see what the Police uncover. The amount of nail bars in London appearing almost daily is also cause for concern. What I can’t understand is the places that were raided had thousands and thousands of pounds of unpaid gas, electric etc bills. 
    • GPs are general practitioners, hence the name; they are not specialists.  Specialist doctors only work in hospitals.  Each GP surgery has a catchment area; you cannot just choose a GP because you think they are the best match for your health condition, you have to be in their catchment.  If you are not happy with the one you are currently with, ring round the others nearby and find an alternative who is able to take you.  Then, work with your hospital clinic and the GP together to maintain your health. As an aside, I have a chronic autoimmune condition and have had no problems with the shared care of my GP (The Gardens) and hospital consultant ( I am under Prof Heneghan).  I visit the clinic twice a year, they advise my GP of any changes and the GP does my prescriptions (which include a controlled drug) and my blood tests in between.  When there has been any queries about compatibility or suitability of a treatment, the GP contacts the team at Kings for advice.  The system works perfectly.   Good luck with your change of GP and give them any hospital letters when you sign up.  A GP along cannot manage your condition, so you will need to ask your hospital specialists to set up a new shared care agreement with your new GP (this has to be done this way; a GP cannot set that up).
