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.

Hi,


If you do a search for 'sillywoman' and send her a private message she should be able to help - she is our local NCT antenatal tutor.


There was also a thread on here recently about antenatal classes, I'm sure if you search (top right hand white box) for the word antenatal you will find it and I think it had some handy info in it.


Welcome to the area!

Kattykit, I second Molly's suggestions. Signing up for the NCT antenatal classes with sillywoman will not only stand you in good stead information wise, but also put you in touch with lots of local ladies having babies at the same time as you which will be invaluable if you are new to the area. Having said that, this forum has lots of opportunities for meet ups, and I am sure there will soon be a thread in the Family Room for Winter Babies to organise meet ups for those due in December/January/February.


With regards to pregnancy yoga, I know of classes at ESPH, Push Studios and Dulwich Therapy Rooms in East Dulwich and also at Brockwell Lido in Herne Hill (you can google all of them I believe), but do not have personal experience of any.

I do pregnancy yoga with Sitaram at King's hospital on a Saturday morning - Jo Harrison who takes the class is very good. They also do evening classes at Brockwell Lido as someone else mentioned. I'd definitely recommend Jo's class on a Saturday!

Hello,


I am a qualified yoga teacher (Satyananda Yoga) and teach in ED from my home studio. I am myself 8 months pregnant and have found yoga invaluable during my pregnancy. I offer private pre-natal classes of 1h 15min at ?18. (I might start group classes later in the year too).


If you are interested please let me know how many weeks you are, you yoga experience and when you would like to start classes. I am due in two weeks but am currently still teaching so you could have a trial class at reduced rate. Obviously when the little one arrives I will stop classes for a month or so but will continue as soon as I am fit again.


Meanwhile all the best for the two of you!

Hi KittyKat.....my baby is due at the end of Jan so not so far away from you. I am also looking into antenatal and am looking/hoping to meet people who are pregnant and due around the same time as I don't know any mums nearby!

There is a discussion elsewhere in the family room about NCT vs NHS antenatal....I am assuming you won't do the Kings one if you're not in the area? I'm not sure I can justify the cost of the NCT courses but if you want to meet mums to be in the area PM me for coffee sometime if you fancy it as it seems our babies are due very near to each other.

    • Familiarity is important, I lived near Brixton in the old days and was fairly comfortable, but for many years avoided Peckham.  That has reversed in the last 15 years.   I recall around Dalston and the A10 and burned out cars.  Now super trendy. Pub violence has largely gone but that was groups of men getting drunk on Saturday night and brawling.  Similarly little football violence, East Dulwich/West Peckham was edgy last century.
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️   Rod comes highly recommended. He recently completed a challenging job in my garden, fox-proofing an outhouse using a large amount of hardcore and slate. The work involved a great deal of effort, but Rod handled it with professionalism and care from start to finish.   He specialises in working with stone, and it really shows in the quality of his work. He is also an incredibly hard worker, tackling the project with determination and skill. Throughout, he was responsive and reliable, always keeping me updated and communicating clearly.   I really appreciated the practical advice he offered along the way, which showed both his experience and his commitment to doing the job properly. On top of all that, his pricing was very reasonable, and he was an absolute pleasure to deal with.   If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, hardworking, and knowledgeable, Rod is an excellent choice. His number is 07739180197
    • Central London, partularly Soho and Fitzrovia, seems to be more about sneaky crimes like hugger-muggering and pickpocketing rather than anything violent these days. I'd never wear a decent watch if I went into town in the evening. There are a couple of places, like Tottenham, Hackney'and Harlesden, I'm particularly on my guard in - mainly because I don't really know them too well. Bits of New Cross and Deptford can be a bit hairy, as well. The parts of central London which were dodgiest twenty or thirty years ago, King's Cross or Shoreditch for example, have changed beyond recognition.  Statistically, London is safer than it was thirty years ago. Wobbling around the Elephant after a heavy night in the Ministry of Sound wasn't a great move around 2000; it wouldn't seem as idiotic these days. It's still not pleasant though and you have to keep your wits about you in Camberwell after midnight, even now. Overall, most of London is far safer, statistically, than the smaller provincial cities and larger towns. Middlesbrough is genuinely scary after dark, which is strange because the people are lovely during the day. Likewise Bradford and Hull. Apart from the lovely people caveat, clearly. Other than the 'Unite the Kingdom' march last week, I've never really seen the drunken flag waving you mention. Not in London, anyway.  I'd avoid the Medway towns, if I was you.
