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

*This is our first course trialling our brand new refresher format. It will be held at Midwife Rachel?s home in East Dulwich for a reduced fee of ?75.

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

    • Well sure someone will correct me but years ago, in Singapore and I was quite young so not sure if it is true. but if you were caught stealing, your little finger or just the  tip part with nail was chopped off.  Stigma for  life as all know that was punishment for stealing… no questions asked.Totally agree it is barbaric but equally putting people  into overcrowded prison for minor offences is also not right. Tagging I guess would not work or maybe does… no idea at all.  Not so long ago, heard a talk about how European’s cope/deal with prisoners and how the suggest rate is higher and offences lowered greatly as in not going back to prison for same  or another offence.  The general gist was their approach was each prisoner mattered , was heard and listens to and a suitable package was tailored towards their needs. Not  b one package for all. Not cooped up for the majority of the day - encouraged as an example to cook, garden, grow food, other household stuff  plus study if wanted for courses, languages etc. and mental health, dependency on substance abuse also addressed. Can’t remember if they were paid c pocket money which clearly accumulated or could be used to  I purchase whatever in prison. If they can do it by experimenting and I think but not sure, at the time an English prison was learning why can’t this sort of program be rolled  out throughout UK - cut backs not an excuse - think of the millions lost by govt during Covid…  Maybe it is - no experience in the matter at all.   
    • Why have things got so complicated? I suppose a cat flap with a timer might be useful for people out all day but can't really see the point of them when its so easy to flip a simple mechanical lock. This is how my last cat flap operated but had to be replaced when cat wearing cone of shame tried to escape and broke it. The cat flap I have now is one of those linked to cats microchip but even then there is just a four way dial which allows different kinds of access - or not. Not that cat is bothered, refuses to use it and demands i open the door for her. This is bit of a rant because along with a new boiler I got a new electronic programmer which is really annoying as it takes 5 minutes to change a simple temperature whereas with old programmer it took 10 seconds. Hope you get sorted @oglander and enjoy your future servitude to your feline master.
    • Did you have the same covid jab as you have had over the years?
