As a follow up, I realise it makes it sound as though the Kings experience was bad! The staff were nearly all absolutely lovely, caring and did their best. I guess having scans is always going to be worrying and hospitals always involve worry and waiting around as more urgent cases are seen etc.

Hello there. As a seasoned survivor of the Kings system, I'd say don't worry. I had a string of 'problems' with my first baby on scans - cysts on the brain and abdomen, placental problems, hormone problems and possible Edward's syndrome (babies do not usually survive for long with this) etc all of which added up to a not very positive probable outcome. My baby was off the scale small - 2 centile to 10 centile until over 30 weeks and then grew. As a result I had 10 or so scans and grew to hate them as I wasn't 'signed off' as probably OK until about 38 weeks. When my baby was born he was, guess what, TOTALLY average size, weight etc. I guess I'm agreeing with some of the other posts which say try not to worry. I know how hard it is not too - it haunts and gnaws at you! At King's the staff are great but its almost as if the scans these days can see too much and they feel obliged to tell you what they can see but don't always know whether or not what they see is significant or not. Also, centile measurements do change and ALL babies grow differently. Mayby your baby is growing a lot taller at the minute rather than putting on mass and fat around the middle? Mine grew substantially around his abdomen in the last 5-6 weeks or so. They're all different. Good luck and look forward to enjoying your baby!

Hello there. I'll also be dragging two little boys around Peckham Park for some of the summer (and most Thursdays and Fridays all year round). We're sometimes to be seen at the one o'clock club or venturing as ar as Dulwich Park if feeling adventurous! Would love to tag along if anything's planned or anyone meeting up. My two are aged four and one. Helen P

Yes - don't always go by appearances. Try looking at the hygiene reports on William Rose and other 'posh' cafes nearby like Le Chandelier and you might get a shock. They only get one or two stars out of five! Check out: http://www.scoresonthedoors.org.uk/business-detail.php?business_id=155665

Ditto - second the mention of Fourways in Herne Hill - bit like Macey's used to be. Really miss the pharmacist - what a star! New lady pharmacist hasn't been too helpful when I've had questions for her.

Did the owners find their cat does anyone know??
