Spring babies club (due in March, April, May 2011)

[alieh]

I can do Monday too. No toddler this time, just baby. He's nocturnal which is great for relaxed coffee mornings but not ideal for my sleep prospects!

[BellendenBear]

Yep, Monday good for me too. See you there.

[mrs f]

Ah I've just remembered I'm seeing the midwife at 10 so I'll come along after if you are still there, I'll give you a call / text Yak....

[simonethebeaver]

I'm still at work till Wednesday but if there's a repeat fixture next week, do count me in. I hope you have a lovely sunny morning for it!

[Al&Em]

I can do tomorrow morning too. Is it 10.30 that everyone's meeting? See you there.

[ClareC]

Can't make tomorrow, following week shoul work though if there is another :-)

[Karinep]

I should be able to make it tomorrow too... first day of maternity leave! 10.30 at Lucas if my understanding is correct? Looking forward to meeting everybody.

Baby feeding/toddler dependent we may get there around 10ish if anyone else is around early - feel free to pm me and we can exchange mobile numbers. I realise that with toddler and baby we may not be everyones favourite coffee companions - toddler prob won't let us stay too long anyway!! Sooo - I'll probably head for the courtyard if not raining, and am fairly noticeable - large phil and teds pram and in possession of sturdy blond toddler running amok...

Hi everyone,

I'm new and would like to join you tomorrow from 10 at Luca's. I have a 16 month old (who won't be with me tomorrow) and my 2nd baby is due at the end of April. Hope it's OK to gatecrash! Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow,

[alieh]

Hi. Change of plans for me as my older son is home sick. Hope too see you at the next one. Alie

Urgh... Still no baby, any tips on encouraging it out?

I'm drinking raspberry leaf tea, eating pineapple & curry (not together!), swimming, going on long walks, bouncing on the ball, bathing in clary sage oil....

Anything else I can possibly do? I really really don't want to be induced

Thank you wise forum ;-)

[snowboarder]

Hmm. Acupuncture? I had some the Friday before full on labour started on the Sunday...but was already in early labour really so no idea whether it worked! Drive around the side streets of Dulwich over all the speed bumps...Walk up and down stairs sideways (but be careful!). How many days over are you? Sending you lots of baby-come-NOW vibes...

[D]

Sex! (for the prostaglandins in sperm on your cervix and the contractions of your uterus during orgasm)

[mrs f]

I'm 6 days over now :-( I was planning on accupuncture on say tues, after a sweep tomorrow...

I'll do the stairs sideways today & see if I can face sex (it's just such a manoeuvre!)

Come on baby!!

[Yak]

Mrs F, why do I have this feeling that I'll be doing exactly the same as you in a week or two? Hope something works for you...

Come on baby F! You can do it!

[23charlie]

Sympathise with you Mrs F. I'm 2 days over now. I have just been for walk, been eating pineapple, had the curry - gonna jump on my other half this afternoon - hopefully something will work. Am in quite a bit of agony with a pulled muscle on my left side by ribs caused from a bad cough last week - so really want it out now!! Although not sure what labour positions I'll be able to get in with my pulled muscle!

Does anyone fancy catching up for coffee/lunch tomorrow or later this week?

[Mellors]

I promise to catch up with you ladies very soon (baby due 8 May), but am meant to be moving house this week (eek!) and then away till after Easter.

[mrs f]

Hi bellenden bear, yes can do.... I'm in need of constant distraction at the min! I'm seeing the midwife at 11am tomorrow so can do lunch or afternoon coffee or another day (I have no plans this week, funnily enough!)

especially if someone brings their new baby & let's me have a cuddle (get's the endorphins going apparently!)

[BellendenBear]

Coffee in the afternoon or later in the week sound good. Anyone else? Mrs F, I will PM my number.

[AnnaM]

Can I gategrash if I bring my new baby? As for tips for encouraging them out, my husband gave mine a stern talking to and he emerged a few hours later!

[Yak]

I might be able to make in the afternoon, too...if you let me know where you're meeting up, I'll try to make it!

[snowboarder]

We could poss do the afternoon too - will have (not so new) baby (5 weeks tomorrow!) and sadly again be encumbered with toddler....

[23charlie]

Hi Mrs F,Yak, Snowboarder etc who are planning tomorrow afternoon meet up.

I will try and get there. I need an appointment with midwife and post dates clinic - so it depends on that, plus depends on how well I can move with my oooooouch muscle pain.

Are you going for Lucas again or somewhere else? What time?

Thanks

[mrs f]

Does 3pm work for others? Can do another time if this doesn't... Don't want to get in the way of nap time

Was going to suggest one of the park cafe's, either Dulwich or Peckham rye if the weather is nice but I'm equally happy somewhere on ll... ?

Where / what time works for all?
