Expecting baby number 2 this spring? Antenatal Class for Second-Time Parents - Sun 26th Feb


Recommended Posts

If you are expecting your second (or subsequent) baby this spring or summer, we have spaces for you to join our February Refresher Antenatal Course.


The 4 hour intensive course runs Sunday 26th February from 09:30am - 1:30pm at the French House, 52 Lordship lane.


The session is led by practising midwives, one a mum of two young children, so is designed to offer lots of useful information for both pregnant women and their partners. The content includes:


- A recap on labour phases and options, practical coping skills for labour

- Help deciding where to have your baby

- Practical ways in which partners can be supportive, help labour progress and feel confident during the birth

- Breast and bottle feeding a newborn baby, troubleshooting common breastfeeding issues

- Preparing your older child for being a big brother or sister

- Introducing your older child to the new baby

- Getting organised for your new arrival

- Practical tips on coping with two: getting around, what to do with your older child whilst feeding the new baby, ideas for partners to help during and cope with the postnatal period, using slings and carriers.


The course is open to up to 4 or 5 couples and offers valuable protected time for you and your partner to plan together for the birth and the new addition to your family. Total cost is ?150 per couple (partner or birth partner/friend/relative welcome) and includes break-time coffee and pastries, plus lots of valuable materials to take away with you and follow-up email support from us too.


Previous attendees have said:


" Invaluable. A great confidence builder and reassured us of lots of things we had forgotten. Especially useful was the info about integrating first born with the new baby and how to do that and little tips of things to do to involve them."


"It was brilliant, gave us time together, that we had just not had in talking about the second child and gave us confidence too."


"Realistic, non judgemental and honest - given from midwife experience, but also as a parent too"

    • 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.
