I'm planning to have a water birth at kings, gonna use TENS machine for 1st stages of labour then go for water birth at hospital, that's then plan anyway?


Yeah I've heard 1st borns are normally late, I'm kinda hoping he will be a bit early (38 weeks would be grand!) As they say he'll be just under 9lb if I go all the way to 40 weeks? Which in a way is quite reassuring as I've not put a lot of weight on, it all seems to be boobs and bump! Lol, but at least I know all the goodness has gone to baby!! :-)

I found the Tens machine good for early stages. All I would say is do keep an open mind and don't be too disappointed if it doesn't go how you envisage. I delivered a 9lb baby and lived to tell the tale - I'm sure you'll be fine. Lots of luck to both of you katy and simone. Would love to meet you and your little ones.

Hello all - I'm also expecting my first baby - its a girl and I'm due on 24th May so a little longer to go...I'm off to St Thomas' all being well, to the Home from Home bit of the birth centre. Would be definitely up for a meet up with local new mums once the little ones arrive...

    • It's not far from Lordship Lane if you cut down Ashbourne Grove/Melbourne Grove. Depends where you start from, I guess!
    • I doubt if it was something special - it has been full a few times I've been recently and when I have been able to get a space I've been lucky and bagged the only one available. I think there are only around 15 general spaces. Others are for staff, blue badge holders or EVs. I guess in winter people are more likely to drive, it wouldn't take much to fill all the spaces with the different things going on at the surgery/pharmacy such as blood tests, picking up prescriptions. It's possible a lot of the cars are in and out in 15 mins, i've not monitored it closely. This morning with all spaces filled when I arrived there were a couple of cars loitering in the hope of a space becoming available. I didn't want to risk it. As has been said, you can drive in and out and be caught on camera and not get a ticket but I'm not sure what the grace period is, if there is one.  Like you, I don't think a significant number of people are parking there to go shopping - it's too far from Lordship Lane as I found out this morning when i had to run from LL to Tessa Jowell! i guess the car parking spaces just can't cope with the number of legit drivers using Tessa Jowell and if that's the case not a lot can be done about it.
    • Wanted near Bellenden Road: firewood. If you have any spare or unwanted firewood (e.g. left by previous owners), please let me know. Thanks!
    • I go there quite regularly (don't ask), on my own behalf and as a chauffeur for family. I have never noted people parking up, going in and then straight out again once registered. Some times of day (and some days) are much busier than others, as you might expect, especially during winter vaccination season.
