There's also Sofie Jacobs who runs lovely classes out of The Mag. See here: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?25,916749,917027#msg-917027


Though both Xenia & Becky run nearby classes that are informative and a LOT of fun.


Sorry I didn't have anything available for you. I have spaces on courses from January but nothing before then. Sorry :(

Sofie has moved (to Hong Kong I think) and the classes at the Mag are now being run by Ariadna Sole. She posted about her course recently on here so search her name (I don't know how to add links, sorry!).


We're signed up for the Oct/Nov courses.


Edited to see if I can add a link: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?25,956548,956548#msg-956548


If not, it's in the Family Classifieds section 9 Sept 10.35pm!

Hi,

I am an Independent Midwife covering East Dulwich and offer private one to one antenatal classes in your own home and also run small group classes in my home. I have availability for coming months

I aim to offer a flexible bespoke service, with a variety of options available; for example, I provided antenatal classes for a group of friends who were pregnant at a similar time etc.

Additonally offer antenatal and postnatal midwifery appointments as full package or supplement to NHS appointments

Website www.midwifecare.co.uk

Personal friendly midwifery service!

In terms of the social side of NCT classes, I think sometimes people who join a class some distance from them because there's no space in their local class, find that they meet up less with the other mums in those early weeks / months in particular, when it's sometimes harder to get everything together and get on public transport or drive somewhere rather than popping down the road. (Of course the classes would still be v useful, I just have friends who say 'well I never really get it together to see the mums I met, they're all in Brockley and I don't have the car' etc

For this reason some of my friends who have not been able to get on an ED course with the lovely Sillywoman, have opted in the past to go the NHS classes at Dulwich Hospital so that some of the friends they make have been within walking distance.

Tho anecdotally it sounds like the classes themselves are quite different from the NCT classes - sure people who have done both or the NHS ones can contribute more on this? - I'm afraid I can't much as have only done NCT. Tho I did do the NHS breastfeeding workshop at Dulwich hospital which was ace.

I did both. I think the Dulwich one is a bit pot luck. For various reasons, we ended up attending the Dulwich ones over two courses, if you see what I mean? The first one only had eight couples and the second course a lot more. I think it would have been trickier to get to know people on the second course.


The sessions I went to covered much of the same ground as the NCT ones regarding labour and birth, and the midwife teaching was very good (the same one that did the breastfeeding one for me, although I think they chop and change who does what). We were all sent a contact sheet for each other but I ended up not being able to make the last class and sort of missed the boat a bit on that one.

    • Hey fellow cat owners! Was hoping that you would consider putting collars with bells on your outside cats? I’ve wee fledglings in a nest and at the moment I’m defending them against an orange and white dude (I call him Trump) and his nemesis, a lovely Tuxedo cat (I call Elon)… they are quite the double act in my back garden!!!! It would give the wee ones a bit of a better chance if a bell could announce their approach. And as a feline owner myself, I know cats will be cats, but every little helps even the odds. many thanks.

    • Whilst I agree, I have been thinking about this recently in relation to some of the other posts on here about anti social behaviour. We are all products of our upbringing - our experiences at home, school and beyond - plus whatever we have inherited genetically which might affect our behaviour (the nature/nurture thing). So in this case, if people haven't been brought up to love and appreciate trees and other wild things, plus as you say they may be deeply unhappy (or have other undiagnosed issues) it's easy to see how they could have ended up doing this. Also, it's possible they had quite low intelligence and didn't really grasp what they were doing and the effect it would have on so many other people. But that's just surmise and possibly completely wrong. From what I've read about it, they seemed to be two mates egging each other on, like two big kids. I'm not for a minute excusing what they did, and it's right they should be punished, but I really hope they might get some sort of rehabilitation in prison (it would  be appropriate to have them do some kind of community service like planting saplings, wouldn't it, or working in woodland conservation). And the same goes for phone robbers and shoplifters (rehabilitation, not planting saplings), though for SOME  shoplifters there might also be other issues at play, not excluding poverty. Sorry Jasonlondon,  I've gone off at a real tangent here, lucky it's in the lounge! Oh oops I've just noticed it isn't. Sorry admin. Oh, and then there's a whole philosophical discussion to be had about free will and determinism ..... 🤣🤣🤣
