Hi

I'm due on saturday and haven't found a beautician in the area yet for a good bikini wax - any recommendations??

Also - just moved here from hackney and don't have any pregnant mates in the area, or in fact pregnant or mum mates full stop - first one out of all my friends to do the family thing - can anyone recommend a mother a baby group to go to - what age does the baby have to be? Is there a breastfeeding group round here too?


thanks you very helpful people you!

Hiya - welcome to ED! In terms of breastfeeding groups - there is a great Breastfeeding cafe in Peckham library, I think on Thursday mornings [unless its changed since January]. Also, there is a La Leche League group that meets once a month in SE6. You can catch the 185 bus there from ED. Both are great for breastfeeding. Hope the birth goes well - exciting time!

Karen is right. I had a bikini wax at 37 weeks and although I have had them all my life the pain bought tears to my eyes. It's all very sensitive down there. And I didn't think of it at all on DD. Surprise surprise.


The NCt bumps and babes friday morning drop in at Red Post Hill is relaxed and new mums drop in and out all the time, often looking for a chat.


Enjoy! Kate x

Yeah, I know.. but worth a try, nonetheless!

We are also getting ready for a birth, my daughter is due in 2wks, a little girl. Through all the excitement as it gets nearer I feel the biggest thing to remember, especially with first baby, is that every birth is personnal and diffrent, don't set standards for yourself instead try to acknowledge a freedom about choice as it is the beginning of being responsible for another. JKJ I hope your baby arrives gentley into this world, enjoy.

Yes, Mondays at 10.

I never went to this one, but the one I did go to (Deptford, not sure if it's still running) was brilliant - not so much for the advice, although that was perfectly good, but for the really nice, pragmatic, funny women that used to go. Scary baby concerns lose all their power when shared with a sympathetic, informed and interested audience... and one day you get to be the one that says 'Oh yeah, mine did that' and suddenly you feel as though you know something at last.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
