ok sounds good, yes I was going to walk to one of the parks anyway for my daily overdue waddle to try and bounce the baby out....

See you all then in the cafe, fingers crossed the weather is nice still, it would be lovely to meet your (big) little one bellenden bear!

Hi girls :)


Only just joined this thread.


I am due 6 May, having a c section at Kings... and having a girl!


Anyone due around the same date?


It is my firt and I don't know many people in the area so happy to meet for morning coffees, lunches, walks ect.


I could meet anytime on Friday 8 April or Monday 11 April.


Anyone around? With or without babies ;)


Alexa

Hello, I have a two week old baby boy, my first. I'd love to meet up with Mum's in the area, please let me know ... Alexa I am going to Townley Road Breastfeeding cafe thing this Monday, but I could meet up the week after ... not on a Monday. I am up for any coffee mornings etc.


Jenni

Hi Jenni and Alexa,


I think the silence might be down to a few people giving birth at the moment or being induced! But subject to any surprises, I should be around this week. I could make Tuesday morning if that's good for others?


Looking forward to meeting you, and congratulations Jenni on the new arrival!

Hello spring baby ladies, just to let you know baby f arrived yesterday, 13 days late after 3 sweeps, 2 acupuncture sessions, gallons of rasperry leaf tea, too many curries & pineapples to count, lots of long walks, driving over speed bumps, twice daily clary sage oil tummy massage etc. I gave up on it all on sat & accepted we were going to have to be induced on mon so went out for fish & chips & mushy peas & low & behold along he came yesterday in a lovely home birth! Yey!

Hope to catch up in a few weeks, with hopefully some of our other new arrivals x

Me too...!


Anyways - would any of the toddler encumbered amongst us (or anyone else who doesn't mind keeping their beady eye out for small rioting people) fancy a take away coffee park meet one afternoon after nap? My coping strategy for life with two is to get out as much as possible but I am struggling on my own at the parks with toddler and baby (imagine runaway small boy with ball/need to chase/baby in pram scenario) and feel that strength in numbers may help....

Snowboarder, I could possible do Friday (unless I have a baby of course, something which I have just about given up on). I am still a bit traumatised from waddle-chasing my runaway toddler across Peckham Rye last week and trying to carry her, bag, football, dolly in pram etc to get to my midwife appointment. But I will give it a go, perhaps more effectively as a baby watcher rather than toddler chaser. Or perhaps they behave better in packs?

Will also be at the Wooden Circle thing tomorrow, weather permitting.

Thanks ladies, I feel so lucky to have had him at home & truly thought we wouldn't make it which makes it all the more special

don't worry bb, she will come in her own good time, just relax and don't reply to all the messages from well meaning friends & family asking if she has arrived yet! Oh & perhaps try the mushy peas at sea cow !-)

Thanks again snowboarder for all the pillows etc! They were really handy!

Hope to get out & about at some point over the next few weeks & hopefully we will have a mini yaklett & mini bear as well by then :-)

Good luck ladies x

    • I think it's a good idea and follows the example of other towns/areas. As it says in the article, the area around the main tourist attractions in Southwark, that is The Globe, Southwark Cathedral, Tate Modern and the whole walking route from London Bridge to Blackfriars, takes a lot of maintaining and it shouldn't be a burden on regular council tax payers like us.
