Hello All!

Just to say that if there is room i would love to join the Spring Babies club too! I have only been in the area since sept last year, so it would be lovely to get to know people.

My first is due on March 11th and we live in East Dulwich, having moved from hackney.

Hope all is well.

Thank you

Alex

[El Pibe]

We're expecting a boy in mid may, is this the right place?

La Piba and I might be interested in popping our heads in, especially as I'll be SAHD from September for a while.

Hi all

I hope you all had lovely weekends.

Great that so many people are up for the 1st Feb, I have counted 20 so far!!

Please let me know if I have forgotten anyone or if you would like to join us on the 1st. I was thinking of the Actress on Crystal Palace Road, however, they don?t take bookings so i am looking for another venue! I am going to make some calls later tonight and tomorrow so will update you all on the venue as soon as i can.

Really looking forward to it

Jessica

HypnoBirthing

hello,

I'm afraid I can't join you with a bump but wanted to post a quick message in case any of you are interested learning HypnoBirthing techniques to make your pregnancy and birth easier, calmer and more comfortable.

I won't bore you with too many details now but please do contact me if you'd like to find out more. I always focus on teaching you how to make your birth positive, whatever route your baby takes and offer a range of classes to suit all budgets and availability .... short affordable Practical Workshop, Evening Classes, Private VIP course and even an online course for those wanting to keep costs down.

Next Practical Workshops are running on Sat 4th Feb and 2 evenings Mon 6th/13th Feb.

I can also run a Workshop / Course for a group of you at a convenient time / place if you're interested in this.

I'd love to tell you more, please just give me a call, (I could also briefly pop in on Wed evening but only if it's appropriate - I don't want to intrude!)

warm wishes, Kristin :)

Hi Kristin

Many thanks for getting in touch and for sharing your details, I am sure this will be of interest to a number of us.

I don?t think it would be appropriate to come along on Wednesday as we like to keep the meet-ups as social as possible ? it?s all about getting to know each other. However, if anyone is interested in exploring Hypo birthing, I am sure they will be in touch.

Thanks again

Jessica

[jessrm]

Hi all

So I think we should just stick to The Actress, despite not being able to book. I really can't imagine it will be that busy on a Wednesday night and it's a good venue for quick food. I will also try to get there as early as possible to reserve seating for 20 - no one is going to mess with me!

If you need to reach me my mobile it's 07974 161217.

See you on the 1st at 7.30pm at The Acress, Crystal Palace Road.

[emmylondon]

Thanks Jess for organising the meeting this wednesday night at the Actress.

Hi Girls,

Can you add me to the list too please?

I am looking forward to it :)

Thanks

Aysh

[jessrm]

Alex and Aysh: glad that you can make it tomorrow night, I have added you to the list.

On a separate note, I was thinking that maybe we could invite husbands/partners to one of our next meet-ups? We could get a private area in one of the pubs and do some drinks and nibbles. You might think it?s a terrible idea but thought i would throw it out there for discussion!!

Hi ladies

Im afriad I am going to be a no for tommorow evening as my mobility completely gone downhill and am still going to attempt to do my parents eve. Hopefully will be able to make another daytime meet if husband can drop me off but if not good luck to you all over the next few weeks. My section is scheduled 5 weeks today although after seeing my midwife and physio today it looks like they may have to bring things forward a week so at least not long to go.

Jenny

[MelissaVF]

Hello,

I may actually be able to pop along for a bit tomorrow night as well.

Our for my bday tonight and if husband stuck at work will be good to get out for a bit + the actress just up the road from me so will see what the day holds. Def a good idea to get husbands along at some point too.

Good luck surviving the parents' evening jenny!

[Clio731]

I think it's a really good idea to invite husbands/partners to one of the meet-ups.

Jenny - hope you are feeling better soon, best wishes for the weeks ahead.

[lucyclarke2001]

Hi jess,

Can you add me to the list Tomorrow too?

See you all there,

Lucy

[Lingonberry]

Hi all,

Hope you feel better soon Jenny! Strange to think that many are getting close to their due date when I am not even 6 months pregnant yet (due date 17 May - long way to go)! And I've only recently got my bump.

I have been a no-show in the recent get-togethers but will try to make it tomorrow. Work is taking all my energy at the moment and just want the sofa when I get home.:-) But would be lovely to meet you all (even if it means missing out on One Born Every Minute - my hubbie will appreciate this!).

Sanna

[midivydale]

Hi all,

I am afraid I will not be able to make tomorrow night either. I am just in too much pain in the evenings after work so will need to give it a miss. Roll on maternity leave - not long now.

I hope you will all have a lovely time - welcome to the newbees- and I hope to see you on another meet up soon. Can not believe that very soon some of our bumps will be babies - gulp

Jenny - I have sent you a PM

Caroline xx
