Really great to meet everyone this morning - a big table of preggo ladies is quite a sight! sorry didn't get to speak to everyone!!

I'm around next Saturday if anyone fancies hooking up, however I'll be on toddler duty as other half working so may have to opt for somewhere like Dulwich park if anyone else wants to bring their little ones along for some duck feeding /lunch/coffee etc.

Equally if anyone is up for a cheeky wine one evening then I could have my arm twisted ;-)

[RhubarbGarden]

Hello! I'd like to join in if I may, bringing up the rear with a baby due on 28th May. I already have a little girl who will be nearly two when this new one arrives. I don't know what it is yet, will find out in a couple of weeks.

Hi Ladies

A few of us were discussing the labour ward tours at Kings when we met up last Saturday and a few of us had been told that these tours were stopping/have already stopped.

Just letting you know that they are still giving the tours as I went on one yesterday (they are Monday at 4pm and Thursday at 6.30pm - I think), but they are stopping them at some point in the near future, so if you want to go then probably better to do this asap and I would suggest you call the labour ward on the morning of the tour to make sure it is still going head.

Also, does anyone fancy meet for either another breakfast next weekend, either Saturday or Sunday (21st/22nd)? Or perhaps a drink or food on Wednesday evening 1st February?

Emma

[Lingonberry]

Hello girls,

I am booked for St Thomas'. Does anyone know if they organise similar labour ward tours?

Thanks!

[jj55]

Good tip about the tour.

I can do breakfast Sunday 22nd and drink/food on the 1st!

Jo

[midivydale]

Hi all,

Im up for breakfast 21st or 22nd. Finally got antenatal class booked, lets hope baby doesnt turn up before it has started:). Best of luck with scans everyone!

Caroline x

[Lingonberry]

Caroline,

Same here. I just booked my NCT class today. Going on the Feb weekend one in Nunhead that finishes on 1 March. A bit early for me but nothing else was available anymore! Is anyone else booked for the same class?

Sanna x

[Jenifire]

Hi all,

Breakfast 21st/22nd and/or drinks on the 1st are fine for me. Final scan this morning and everything good - baby seemed a bit bored as he yawned through most of it!

I've got fingers crossed for on time arrival so I don't miss antenatal classes as well. I'm booked in to the ones in East Dulwich with Sofie Jacobs finishing a week before my due date (is anyone else going to these?) - NCT was booked up by the time I got organised except for intensive course one week before due date which I decided was just too close.

Jenny

[jessrm]

Hey all

Hubby and i are going along to the Kings Tour this Thursday (thx for the tip Emma) - it starts at 6.30 and you just have to turn up at the labout ward - well that's what i was told.

Breakfast 21st/22nd and/or drinks on the 1st work well with me. The breakfast at Franklins was great, very civilised.

I am booked to attend NCT at East Dulwich starting on the 20th Feb with Tessa Dailey. I think Sophie is also booked for this one. Is anyone else??

Jess

[SJK]

Hello all,

Thanks for news on the tours, Emma. That's very helpful.

I can do 21/22 Jan and 1st feb too for our next meet up.

And yes, I start NCT on 20th Feb with you, Jess.

I think Emmy who came to previous breakfast is on the same course. Spring Babies Group is taking over!

Hope everyone is feeling well.

[Missjojo]

Hi all

I'm with the NCT starting on the 20th too, see you all there!

Next weekend suits me for a breakfast, so count me in.

Thanks for the tip about the hospital tour Emma, much appreciated.

[janegoodland]

I'm up for breakfast on either 21/22nd....perhaps we could try the Magnolia at the top end of LL. Am also around on 1st x

[jj55]

Hello

Went to our first antenatal class at Dulwich Hospital tonight. We thought it might be super busy and a bit hectic as it's the free NHS ones - it was really good, a nice size group about 10 couples - just in case anyone else had similar worries!

Jo

[midivydale]

Jennifer, glad to hear your scan went well! I have booked the antenatal at Dulwich Hospital as well Jo, ours start on the 20th. Glad to hear it sounds like a good one!

C xx

[Widdy]

Hello

I'd love to meet up again as I missed the last one - I'm around on 22nd (but not free on the 21st or 1st unfortunately), but if everyone else prefers to do one of the other dates suggested then I'll hopefully make the next meet up instead. I've never eaten at the Mag, but have heard they do good food!

We started our NCT classes last week in Nunhead and for those also doing the Nunhead ones, if it's the same place (Consort Rd I think), the first one was quite fun and the lady taking it seems really nice - nothing too cringy so far!

Catherine

[jimnem]

Looks like Sunday 22nd is a good morning for most of us.

I have never been to the Magnolia, but happy to try somewhere new. Shall I give them a call next week to book a table when we have a better idea of our numbers?

Glad to hear quite a few of you are also free on the 1st, we can arrange something a bit nearer the time.

Good luck with the scans and classes this week!

Emma

[embo71]

Hi all,

Can my name be added to the evergrowing list of SpringBabies?

I am due on 26th April with my second. Already have my hands pretty full with my 2 year old girl so I am not quite sure what I think I am doing having another one!!

Would love to meet up with you all, I work part time mon to wed, and so am around (with toddler) on thurs and fri or can do weekend days.

I can do Sunday 22nd..?

Cheers,

Emily

[janegoodland]

Hi Emily - you're due the day before me! I also have my hands full with a two year girl... my sumpatheies to you ;-)

Am going to try and get away for a weeks holiday so probably can't make 22nd afterall but I'll up up for drink on 1st x

[janegoodland]

Sorry - clearly I meant 'sympathies'!

[lucyclarke2001]

Hey guys,

Sorry i missed last saturday i woke up with a really bad throat and ear infection so tried to stay in bed and get rid of it before it got worse...

I would love to meet for a drink on the 1st but can also be free on the 22nd..

Just wondering if anyone is starting the NCT in Nunhead on the 22.02.12?? Catherine thanks for the info on the course leader that will make my husband happy!
