Hi all,

We were advised of confusion over previous threads and the title. All amended now and previous thread removed to avoid confusion. Apologies, we are still finding our feet since taking over from our previous and much loved moderator. Thank you all for your patience and congratulations on your pregnancies!

Hi, I'd like to join too! It'd be great to get in touch with people in the local area having babies at the same time. I live in West Dulwich and I'm due in October with my second. I'd also welcome any advice on how to prepare for baby number 2 (my daughter will be about 20 months when baby comes) - can anyone recommend any good books?!

Me too! Due with my second on 14th October (snap on the due dates JRK!).


Jaymey, no good book recommendations I'm afraid, although I saw a second baby class advertised on the East Dulwich Mums facebook page which might be worth looking into if you're after some helpful tips xx

Anyone due in September? I'm thinking I might potentially sneak into this group, as my next child is due on the 27th of August (and my 3 year old was 6 days late) :-)


I'm hoping for a 1st September arrival date, but I know that in reality, babies come when they feel like it :-D

Hi!


I'm due end of October with my second and keen to meet up with others in the area. My son will be 5 once this one comes along so I feel like I'm a new mum again to be honest - forgotten pretty much everything about the early months....


Looking forward to saying hello

Hi all, I am part of the Autumn Babies club 2016 and loved it so thoroughly recommend!

We have also recently set up a blog and Twitter account to share all of our crazy stories and advice if you live in the Peckham Dulwich area. Good pubs with changing facilities, good events etc.

I hope it helps you and feel free to ask for any advice!

I'd be up for that. I can do weekday eves, although they are harder with babysitting issues etc. Definitely cannot do Wednesdays as other half doesn't get home until much after 10. My preference would be weekend afternoon, but obviously will fit in with what the majority can do.


(Glad there's someone else in the larger than average age gap, Alison! We told ours last weekend. He's 'processing' - i.e. didn't really have a reaction apart from saying he wanted a brother, has since not mentioned it.)


Anyone else enormous already? Only c. 16 weeks but looking more like I did at 20+ with the first one. People are asking the twins question, even those who know I've had two scans: no, seriously, I don't think a high ranking research centre like the FMC at Kings would actually miss one at 12 weeks. C'mon.....

    • Gosh, that all sounds so familiar!  Southwark are constantly holding up their Outdoor Events Policy as proof of process, but then constantly allow exceptions when things aren't quite done correctly. Point in case, Gala's licence application - extract from the Consultation Findings Report - "The GALA team formally submitted their application to hold GALA 2025 to the council on the 7 October 2024. It is usually a requirement that applications for larger scale events are submitted with a minimum of 9 months to process them, but discretion can be applied if there are mitigating circumstances. 8.4 of the Outdoor Events Policy clarifies that processing applications received outside the stated lead-in times is at the Council's discretion. In this case: • The council were aware that Assembled Gala were preparing an application for the event to take place in 2025 in advance of their submission date, with operational discussions already taking place • GALA festival has been taking place in Peckham Rye Park since 2018 – less time is needed regarding event planning than if it were a new event • The GALA team already have a Premises Licence in place for this event (this is a pre- requisite for the Event Licence to be issued), so no time needed to be factored in for a premises licence application and decision-making process"
