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.

    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
