Summer babies club (due June, July, August 2014)

[Yellow99]

I could do either 21st or 28th. Happy to see which one most people can attend

[Tworler]

I can do the 21st or the 28th, again happy with either,

Emma

[AnneBowers]

I can't do the 21st but should be ok for the 28th clients permitting and would love to come along

[juliemidwife]

Hi all

do you guys know about the East Dulwich positive birth group? That's a lovely place to meet other local pregnant women. I think the next one is on March 6th in the evening - there's a whole thread in the families bit about it

[missyelliott]

Hi ladies. I can do the 28th now x

[rougepamplemousse]

Hello ladies

Congratulations on the pregnancies!

I had a spring baby in 2011 and one in 2013 and this forum is great!

I am having a massive clear out and I have joined one of the NCT s nearly new sales (on 8th March from 11 at St Laurance Centre, SE6 2TS if anyone wants to go have a look) and I am only allowed to bring 100 items ... I realized I have over 300!!!

So I am hoping to sell some here - clothes, toys, playmat, reusable nappies, double buggy, swing etc

So if anyone needs anything for a newborn please PM and ask, I might have something I haven't mentioned.

Everything I have is new or nearly new.

Thanks for reading

[AnneBowers]

And now I can also do the 21st

Hi Ladies

I'm new to this discussion...I'm 13+5 due August 19th and am desperate to find some decent Pregnancy Excercise classes/groups... any recommendations from anyone?

Thanks so much :)

[AnitaOG]

Hi,

Are we still meeting on the 23rd (next Sun).

If so, I suggest the clock house but only if it's handy for everyone.

I'm based in ED so happy with anywhere local. Say 3pm for a drink?

Anita

[pinkglitter]

Hello - yes i'm still around Sun 23rd, 3pm at Clock House sounds good. I've not been there before - i'm assuming we don't need to book?

And Jen - I go to pregnancy yoga at JAGS on a Thurs evening (you can pay as you go if not a member) and i love it! very chilled hatha yoga.

Looking forward to catching up soon!

[AnitaOG]

if any of you first time mums are considering ante natal classes I highly recommend

Ariadna Sole (I did her classes with baby no1!).

I know we don't know each other yet but this popped up in my inbox and I thought it might be a great thing for some new (and newish) moms to do together ... oxfam are having a 'mother to mother' appeal and asking people to host events before 31 March and Oxfam will double the funds we raise. If people were open to rocking up to a stranger's house i would be happy to host an 'in for a penny in for a pound' evening or afternoon tea. Basically we do potluck food and then we donate what we would have paid going out to the cause (plus whatever we might want to add). I've room for about 10-15 of us seated and I do love a good crust-less cucumber sandwich.

I was thinking we could also invite last year's summer babies moms ... they might have some hints and tips for those of us new to this

What do you think?

[missyelliott]

Hi ladies. I know a few of you are meeting this Sunday. With regard to the Friday catch up shall we do the 28th? X

[missyelliott]

Ps. Struggling to find a good preggers yoga that starts at 8. My husband doesn't get home from work till gone 7pm. I can't wait to put two babies to bed!!! Eeeeek

[petra_29]

Hi,

I'm in in for Clockhouse on Sunday - see you then

Anna

[MeltingPot]

Hi

I will do my best (in between nauseas and the rest ;))

[Yellow99]

Bit confusing organising two meet ups at the same time but I'm up for the Friday meet on the 28th.

[Bright_Star]

Morning everyone

I've just found this thread - due mid-August and so later than most of you... I can't do the Friday or Sunday dates unfortunately but am around generally the next few weekends so will keep my eyes peeled for dates going forward.

Thanks!

Kate

Thank you Anita!! Lovely to hear you are expecting your second!!

As Anita said, I am a midwife and I offer group antenatal courses for 1st time parents. If you are looking for a course to gain knowledge on labour, birth and early weeks with your newborn baby and to meet a lovely group of expectant parents due around your dates who live in the area, then do not hesitate to give me a call at 07598 293 625 or email me at ariadna@ariadnasole.com for an informal chat.

You can also check my website for further details: www.ariadnasole.com

Here you find comments from previous couples who attended the course: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?25,1238496,1238496#msg-1238496

I wish you all a lovely pregnancy!

Hi everyone,

I'm due with my first on 13th August, BrightStar sounds like we're around the same time. I'd love to meet up but can't make this Friday / Sunday. I will come along to future meet ups and keep an eye out for dates in the meantime.

JenWren, have you come across any good Pilates classes on your hunt for exercise? The yoga at Jags sounds good but I'd like to do Pilates too (bad back).

Hope to meet you all soon,

Em

[AnitaOG]

Hi all

I'm sooo sorry but I can't make Sunday now as my husband has a work event & I need to stay home with LO.

I really want to meet you with you all so I'll definitely come to the next one.

I'm not sure how many are keen for Sunday but if it's only a coulpe maybe we should rearrange so more can make it??

Or you go ahead & we get another in diary.

Xxxx

Ps thanks Ariadna, hope you're keeping well x

[buffys]

Hi all,

I'm due with my first on 19th Aug, so Em and BrightStar I'm in the same camp as you! I can't make it on Friday or this weekend either but would be keen to come along to a future meet up, around over the next few weekends, so will keep an eye on the thread.

Thanks and have a good time on Friday/Sunday!

Evening all,

I'm due with my first on 3rd August. Would also love to meet up to get to know some local mums/mums to be. Can't make Friday or Sunday either unfortunately but will keep an eye out for the next one. Anyone else doing Ariadna's antenatal classes starting June 5th?

Thanks,

Isabelle.

[pinkglitter]

Was anyone else around Sunday? otherwise which weekend dates suit people? I can't do 2/8/9/22/23 MArch xx

[AnitaOG]

I think only a couple are free but I'm not sure. Pink glitter, What about 29/30 mar?
