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.....

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
