Sorry, I can't make Friday either - but I will be at the wooden circle playgroup this afternoon. Like BB I have rather given up on having a baby. In fact I am just coming round to thinking I'm not pregnant at all, and have just eaten a rather large amount of cheese this winter :)


But I could do Monday - again, assuming no Yaklet. If there are newborns around who need cuddling while toddlers are kettled I'm happy to volunteer!

Finally, I have a baby! After making me wait for 10 days, she didn't mess around when she finally decided to make her appearance. Very speedy labour resulting in water birth at home yesterday morning.

Look forward to catching up soon. Good luck to those that are still waiting.

Hooray for the new Bear Cub! The Yaklet made an appearance after 11 days similarly at speed.... born five past midnight after about 3 hours established labour. It's a good job we stuck with our home birth plan....Looking forward to meeting up wih the new arrivals soon, and best of luck for those waiting probably more patiently than I did!

Go out for dinner, eat icecream then sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep & sleep some more!


Yes BB how great we all managed a home birth in the end!

Hope you all manage to get out over the weekend, even if it's just in the garden

Your ahead of me and I am booked in for the 3rd!


It's all been rather hectic and Ive not been able to do all the prep Ive desperately been wanting to do until this week (we had building work done so have had very limited use of Kitchen and lots of brick dust!).


Anyway......... house now clean, carpets clean (still damp as I type), babies clothes, bedding and baby gym etc all washed. Just need to fill the freezer and pack bags. Was planning to use Mike (Bon3acre?)of Bellpepper fame but the website doesnt seem to be working so may have to attempt a cookathon (no mean feat with a 15mth toddler).


Ho hum.... all the important stuff done thankfully and although bags not yet packed I have my list (MUCH shorter than first time round!!)

I'm so very jealous as not due until the 15th May and feel huge!! Via Home birth.


Also had a bit of a moment today as although I have a 15 month old I haven't done much reading/prep and worried about having a new born at home!! I suppose it will all come back to me!!


Really look forward to meeting up with you all and the new babies :)

I was a bit worried there were no May babies :)

Does anyone wants to meet before having the babies? Or someone with their newborns?

Maybe next week at some point?



mrs f - I am so impatient now that I can't even sleep :)


ClareC - I wanted to book on the 3rd too but they told me there were already quite a few people booked for that day... I guess you were one of them. What was your due date?


alieh - A picnic sounds good but I guess if we want to wait for everybody to have their babies it might have to be end of May/ beginning of June, right?

How about a bumps and newborns picnic? I think we will be up for something on Thursday or Friday of next week- are others free then? I am of course assuming that this lovely weather will continue


Bb, the yaklet is a boy - 7'10" so totally, totally normal and healthy!

Thursday afternoon? We will look like impostors amongst all the new babies though - baby snowboarder is nearly 8 wks old and weighed in at 13.5lb at his 6 wk check this week...must have gold top milk....! Where can we go that is toddler containable?

By scan 7th May but I'm certain it's actually the 4th.


Waiting til the 3rd is a bit close for comfort given my daughter was born only 1 day after her EDD! My waters broke within half an hour of going to bed on the due date!


I'm up for meeting up on Friday, Thursday no good as I am having a pamper afternoon whilst I still can!

    • Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ? 
    • Sadly, a lot of businesses didn't invite reviews on the EDF at that time due to a number of "negative nellies" that would take delight in posting unfavourable comments, often despite never being to the business in question.  No matter how good the place was, some posters would find fault that wasn't there "don't lile the colour of the bidet set in the private bathroom, avocado 😅" Can hardly blame businesses at the time for not wanting reviews on here, thankfully that has mostly changed now.   
    • Was that the Hare Krishna place? I can't remember exactly where it was (or maybe still is) but it was somewhere around Oxford Street.
    • The "for sale" section on this forum lets people offer things for free or cheaply. And the "wanted" section let's people ask for things they want or need, for free or cheaply. There are also existing schemes like Freecycle, and also local  food banks. And there is (or was) a local scheme where you can bring things to be repaired free. I think it is/was based in Nunhead. Isn't that simpler than having a barter system? You might have something to give away, but the person who wants it might not have anything you want. Or have I misunderstood how it works? I can see that offering services free might not fit into existing schemes, but depending on what they were, what would happen if things went horribly wrong eg someone wrecked your house? Sorry if the above sounds very negative.
