[supergolden88]

Congratulations for all the new arrivals! Millsa - I'll have what you're having - 90min labour(!!!)

[kerry.finlay]

WOW -congrats to you all.

and may the speedy labours continue!!!!!

And might I also say what wonderful taste in names this board has! Incredibly beautiful and original choices ladies :-)

[jollybaby]

Oh fantastic news Millsa and Buggie! I'm still waiting . . . . bit resigned to induction tomorrow but I suppose anything can happen in 24 hours.

[ladywotlunches]

Millsa and Buggie - Congratulations!!

[Smiler]

Congratulations ladies! Am envious of the speedy labours, but hope that there are many more!

Hope the early days are going well, and that the waiting isn't too hard for those whose little ones haven't yet arrived. Had forgotten how full-on feeding a newborn is!

[jollybaby]

Baby Beatrice finally arrived on afternoon of Saturday 25th. Labour a bit more drawn out than hoped- induction ending in emergency section but recovering well now. Can't wait to get out of kings and start prowling the streets of East Dulwich again.

Congratulations jollybaby - I hope you are feeling ok and don't have to stay in hospital for too long. Welcome to the world Baby Beatrice :) Another beautiful name.

[supergolden88]

Congratulations everyone! Would love to see pics as well...

Congratulations Jollybaby - Beatrice was the name we were going to choose if we had a girl!

Hi,

My babies due mid December but been told now that it's likely they'll deliver early - mid November! I'd really like to meet some people with babies due at similar times. Is it still ok to join Autumn babies?

Thanks

Baby Imogen arrived yesterday 12 days early weighing in at 6lb 14. We had a straight forward delivery and were home four hours later, so far so good! She is beautiful but I might be biased!

[HollieES]

Congratulations on all the little beauties being born - it's lovely to see some of the photos on Facebook.

Just a reminder that we have a Facebook group that you can join - just search for Dulwich Autumn 2010 mummies, request to join, and either Kerry, Lucy or myself will let you in.

Hello! I've just joined this forum (recommended by a pregnancy yoga friend). My baby boy is due on 21 October. Would love to meet up with other mums due at similar time in the near future. I'm based in Brixton so not that far away and I come to east dulwich lots at the moment.

[kerry.finlay]

WELCOME!

hope to see you wednesday night!

Hello everyone

I'm afraid I wont be able to make it for drinks this week but I have a brilliant reason - my baby has arrived! Daniel was born on Wednesday evening (on his due date!) weighing 7lb 9oz and he's absolutely gorgeous (although I could be slightly biased)

I look forward to meeting up with you all soon - perhaps a with baby meeting could be arranged as there are beginning to be quite a few babies about now!

Have a lovely time on Wednesday and if I don't see people before hand - good luck with your births!

Love

[HollieES]

Congrats Penny - fabulous news!

Just a reminder to everyone that there's a first-time mums meet up tonight at Green & Blue on Lordship Lane, from 7pm onwards - would be lovely to see some new faces.

No need to confirm, just rock up with your bump!

A few first-time mummies - a few with bumps and a few with babes - are meeting at Luca's on Lordship Lane this morning for a coffee.

I haven't visited this thread in a while, I've been a little busy with my little guy. Lewis was born at home 2 1/2 weeks early on the 5th of September. Before we collected (~let alone set up) the birth pool or hired the Tens machine. My water broke at about 1:30 in the morning, at 6:30 after the contractions had slowed a little the midwife pronounced me to be only 2-3 centimetres and so we sent her home and tried to get a little rest. At 10 I sent hubby out to try and buy a tens machine, but he took too long (apparently they are hard to come by on a Sunday morning) and the baby arrived (at 11:33) before he got back.

The midwives had been picking me up a pool, so they called an ambulance which arrived at 11:13 and they came about 10 minutes later so it was all a bit hairy there for a while, I was by myself, pushing involuntarily, wondering how I could catch it myself so it didn't hit the floor!

All good though, with an apgar of 10 10 we were pretty happy. So much for long labours and late first babies!

Congratulations to all the other Autumn Mums who have had their babies, and good luck to those who have yet to pop!

[supergolden88]

Congratulations and my gosh that sounds scary! You sound as if you did it all by yourself and without pain relief which is pretty incredible. I am due in 10 days and hoping for no surprises or early arrivals!

[fearnpw1]

Au'lait - I'm so impressed! Fancy doing that all by yourself - you must be one strong lady! You give me hope that somehow I might get through my labour.....totally dreading it at the moment. Huge congratulations on your baby boy - I hope you've had a good couple of weeks with him.

[kerry.finlay]

coffee and cake at 3pm tomorrow (thurs 28th), at Luca's on Lordship Lane, if anyone fancies it??

[supergolden88]

Now 3 days past due... Not fed up exactly but certainly wondering if every twinge means labour is starting. How is everyone else doing?
