Congrats-- Expecting Better is an informative and easy read. You could also join one of the antenatal clubs on Mumsnet. The veteran moms provide a wealth of insight and information and all the new moms can ask 'is this normal for this stage of pregnancy' questions.


There are also meet ups organised here on the forum depending on the season your baby is due so Summer Babies, Winter Babies etc. Do a search of this section.


ESPH do good pregnancy yoga and pregnancy pilates classes which I can definitely recommend.

If you are interested in doing birth preferably without hospital intervention then the best ever book in my and quite a few Mum friends of mine is Ina May's Guide to Childbirth. This was the book that convinced me I could do this... Even if you'd prefer a hospital birth it can really help one understand the whole process and what our bodies are actually capable of doing naturally.

Hiya

My book Pregnancy the Naked Truth is a good read. I teach Pregnancy Pilates in SE15 and if you sign up for a course you receive a free copy of the book. Let me know if you'd like details. Or check out the book on amazon Pregnancy: The naked Truth by Anya Hayes if you'd like to see more about it.

My good friend Zoe is a hypnobirthing teacher in Nunhead and Peckham, and her website is a great place to find inspiration for a positive birth www.hypnobirthingplace.com, she also does taster sessions at Bellenden Therapy Rooms.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! xx

    • Nice to see the property is going to reopen with a Newish business, good luck to them.
    • Of course they do, watching cookery shows and buying cook books is a national pastime. However you raise a good point that some people claim they are time poor and end up eating out / takeaways as sometimes a quick macciedee is cheaper and easier than making a quick nutrious family meal.  However to put it in balance, not many people have the knowledge, confidence and time to cook Persian so good luck to team persepolis on this venture. 
    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
