Autumn Babies 2017 (due Sep/Oct/Nov)

[kasy17]

OMG Ellie Yes! I'm with you, I look 6 months already, my friend kindly told me its because our muscles aren't what they used to be to hold everything in!! Everything is happening a lot earlier this time round... feeling movements which is great but then also the back ache/sciatica which is not great!

I'd hope to be able to meet up an evening in the week, but hubby does shift work so will depend. A weekend afternoon also sounds good but would need to bring my 2 year old if hubby working.

Hi yes, I would be up for a meet up too! Weekday evening would be fab as I find it easier to talk when not having to keep my one year old under control!

Hi

I'd like to join if ok, I'm due with our first 31st October also! As no little ones flexible with meet ups:)

[Jaysaw]

Hi everyone, lovely idea. I work full time so evenings or weekends best for me.

Is someone any good at Facebook? I think creating a FB group works pretty well for these things but I'm not particularly social media proficient!

[Howl]

I'm not on Facebook....(just me?)

Could do a WhatsApp group.....?

Or if people could just regularly update the Edf page?

At the moment looks like week nights seem to be easiest for everyone. We could do something like a doodle poll (this is where I duck under table in the knowledge that there's probably something way more trendy than a doodle poll).

What can I say? I'm old.

Hi everybody

I would like to join the group too if that's ok? I'm due with our first 18th Oct 2017 and it would be nice to meet up.

Keen to meet up too. Weekday evenings work for me too. Also keen for a Facebook group (I always forget to check the forum), but am not great with technology so happy to let more of an expert set it up (if not I'll have a crack at it!).

Hi everyone!

Due my second on October 31st. My first is almost 2.

Would love to meet up with other mums or mums to be!

Hi everyone

I'd love to join too. Due with no 3 in early October. It would be lovely to meet soon. Weekday evenings good for me too, preferably towards end of the week so most of working week is out of the way as I am shockingly tired this pregnancy.

Hi everyone,

I'd love to join this group too - am due with my first 6th September so need all the help I can get! :)

Meetup sounds great - am still working full time so evenings/weekends generally better for me.

Cheers,

Bec

Amazing that there's so many people around to meet up (and I'm holding Kelly to the promise of being strangely-enormous-for-gestation like me - phew - so I don't feel like an odd one out).

Any ideas where will take so many of us in East D?

[newlywed]

East Dulwich Tavern?

Hi,

My second is due on 6th October. I already have a son who is turning 3 in August. I am in East Dulwich.

Easiest way to arrange a date is to use Doodle... someone (not offering, sorry) goes here http://doodle.com/en_GB/ to set the survey up, chooses a selection of dates and then posts the link on here for everyone to respond to.

Weekday evenings are best for me with a little planning so that hubby can cover son's bedtime.

As long as everyone has ticked the "send replies to this thread to me via email" box when posting on EDF you should be notified when someone responds to the thread.

Cherry Tree usually has lots of space, and the food is pretty good.

Hi all,

I've done a doodle (that sounds a bit strange!) with some June weekday evening dates. Here is the link:

http://doodle.com/poll/b32826irw2udmcym

You can reply, yes/no/if need be. Then we can go for the date with most yes & if need be answers.

Shall we give 2 weeks to respond and then select the date as I know peoples plans can change nearer the time.

Cherry Tree and EDT sounds like very good possibilities.

[Amanda1979]

Thanks Kasy - done :-)

[Howl]

Great! Thanks Kelly.

I think I might have accidentally entered all of my yes choices as 'if need be' - rather than yes. Oops.

[maress1]

Brilliant, many thanks for setting that up. Done the doodle and look forward to meeting you all.

[kasy17]

Wow, 16 of us so far :-) and there is a tie for Thu 8th and Wed 14th so urging few more to sign up and hopefully get a winner next week.

Shall I also set up a whatsapp group? (don't think everyone on facebook and I don't know how to do FB groups!)

Happy to do it if you all want to PM me your names and mobile numbers?

[Amanda1979]

Whatsapp group sounds like a plan.

I can't make either of those dates as hubby is out :-(

[JayMey]

A Whatsapp group would be great, i'll PM you my number, thank you for organising!

A Whatsapp group would be great, i'll PM you my number, thank you for organising! Jayne

[Linda B]

I have sent you my mobile number via PM - thank you for setting up a whatsapp group Kelly. It will be easier to communicate that way I think.

Does anyone in this group attend pregnancy yoga?

I tried the class at FC Wellbeing (above Fashion Conscience on Grove Vale) last week and plan to try the one at Goose Green clinic next Thursday... thought it might be a good way to try and meet some of you if others do it?

Also I have just booked on to this birth workshop and thought others might be interested: http://www.michelemyoga.com/birthing-workshops.html

[kasy17]

Oh great yes, I'm going to try and go to the Goose green one for the first time next week too :-)

Hopefully see you there!

[JRK]

I do the 9am on Saturdays- love it :) Hopefully see some of you there!
