Hi all, Many congratulations on the births of your babies! My son George was born on sat 29th Jan and came home last Saturday from Kings after spending a bit of time in the special care baby unit. It has all been a bit stressful but I am glad to say that he is fit and well now. Hopefully we will be able to make the next meet. Love Kirsten x

Hi all, I'm so sorry I couldn't make it. I am feeling rubbish and am on crutches so a bit bed bound! BUT being induced on Friday so not long now. Many congrats to all who have had their babies. Penny hope you're ok - maybe I'll see you in Kings! Kirsten xxx

Congrats on the safe arrival of Zoe. What a lovely name. I'm around this week x

Hi Vickster, In the past the seasonal flu vaccine was only offered to pregnant women who had an underlying health condition. It wasn't offered to all pregnant women simply because it wasn't necessary - if they were otherwise healthy they would generally recover without any complications. This year the have combined the 'swine flu' and seasonal flu strains into a single vaccine and it is because of the swine flu component that they are recommending pregnant women to have it. If you had the single swine flu (H1N1) vaccine last year then you don't need to have the combined one this year. From the pandemic last summer it was shown that pregnant women were more vulnerable to developing severe respiratory complications from swine flu. The vaccine does not contain any live viruses and can't cause flu and has shown to have little side effects. Kirsten X

Arty many congratulations - how wonderful. Hope you're both doing well. Kirsten x

Hi it would be great to meet up. I can do either saturday. Kirsten x

Hi I'm free this sat too and would love to come along. Kirsten

Thank you. I didn't even think of getting a good signal!

Hi, I was wondering of someone could give me some advice about baby monitors.... I am utterly baffled as to which one to get. Is it worth spending a bit of money and getting an all signing all dancing one with video or should I just go for a basic model - or something in between?! Also is it something you need to get from birth (as our baby will be in our room for the first couple of weeks/months) or should I wait until the baby is born? Any advice much appreciated!

Hi all, I am due on the 5th of Feb with my first baby and would love to meet other mums and mums-to-be. I also work full time but could do the 7th or 21st. Kirsten

Moos - Today I ordered my DH The Road from Amazon (we're expecting no.1) should I intercept the post and bin it when it arrives?!

Fuschia, I'm so glad everything is ok. x

Hello all, Many many thanks for your replies. Sally81 and Yvi I'm PM'ed you. KittyKat

Hi Molly, Many thanks I will do.

Hello, My husband and I have just bought a house in ED are moving in at the beginning of Oct. We are having our first baby at the beginning of February and I am keen to start antenatal classes in ED rather than where we live now. I would be really grateful for any antenatal classes and pregnancy yoga recommendations as I don?t know the area very well at the moment. Many thanks.
