Expecting baby number 2 in the New Year? Half price refresher antenatal class Sat 17th December


Recommended Posts

The Group (www.thegroupantenatal.co.uk) are changing the format of their refresher courses, designed for parents expecting their second (or subsequent) baby.


We are trialing our new format on Saturday 17th December 12.30-16-30 and offering this at half price (?75). We have just one or two spaces left for this date and would love to welcome you to join us!


Please email [email protected] if you would like to take part and start preparing your older child and getting organised for your little one's arrival.


The course will remind you about what happens during labour and birth, with an emphasis on what might be different second time around. The course will give you and your partner an opportunity to plan for the birth and postnatal period together and to think through how you will prepare and care for your older child at this time. It covers feeding (breast and bottle), expressing breastmilk and basic newborn care, all with an emphasis on how you might balance the baby?s needs with those of your older child(ren) and yourselves.


Classes are run by practising midwife Rachel. Her first-hand experience in caring for families, as well as being a mum to two young children, means she can offer honest, evidence-based advice to help prepare families for life with more than one child.



Subsequent courses will run from 9.30am ? 1:30pm one Sunday per month at the French House at 52 Lordship Lane (find us downstairs) and cost ?150 per couple. This includes:



-Attendance for two adults


-All course planning materials and a ?Refresher? handbook


-A coffee and freshly baked French pastry during the break


-A 10% discount at the French House on the day and thereafter

Thanks so much for the recommendation Ebeb2 :)


We have one more space for a couple to join our Saturday 17th Dec (12:30-16:30) Refresher Class. Any second time parents-to-be of winter babies 2016/17 that might be interested? We would love you to join us!


Only ?75 (half price for our first re-vamped course) and covers so much useful prep including:


- How will we prepare my older child for having a sibling?

- What is different about birth second time?

- Reminder about how to care for a newborn

- Tips for juggling two (getting out and about, bath and bed time)

- Breastfeeding a newborn (with a toddler underfoot!)

- Lots of advice and tips for partners on their role during and after the birth/ during paternity leave


Useful time for you and your partner to think through and plan childcare for during the birth, and what you would like to do similarly/differently this time around.


All led by a local practising midwife and mum of two (under 2) Rachel

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
