Hi all - hope everyone is coping ok with their babies and bumps!


I've had an eventful few weeks with Milo who is over 4 weeks now - including being admitted to hospital with low BP. Hopefully things are ok now though.


I would have loved to meet up tomorrow (and am just about ready for it too) but i have to go to the tongue-tie clinic tomorrow...fingers crossed he doesn't have to have the 'snip'!


Will definitely join you on the next meet up though!

Hope you managed to meet up. It's been lovely to meet some of you and your babies.


Just wanted to let you know baby Samuel arrived on Thursday, we are mainly home at the moment, not very mobile yet but looking forward to meeting again once we are up for outings again.

Hi there


I am a mum on the forum, expecting my second baby. I am actually due in December, so that's clearly not the reason for writing on the Summer Babies Club.


But I thought I'd mention that I am teaching pregnancy and postnatal (mum and baby) yoga classes in Camberwell. See details below.


If anyone is interested in getting together to know each other and also do a session, I am really happy to try and accomodate a day and time that suits you.


I am mostly free on Thursdays and Fridays during the day. In the evenings, I could do most evenings at 6/6.30 but later only on Mon, Wed and Friday. Or Saturday morning.



Otherwise current classes are PREGNANCY Tuesday 18.15-19.15 + Friday 18- 19 + Saturday 9.30-10.30 / POSTNATAL Thursday 11-12 am.


Let me know.


Pregnancy classes are designed to keep you fit, mobile and energised so that you feel more comfortable within your skin while your body undergoes an amazing transformation. With active exercises we keep the body strong and supple to facilitate labour and aid recovery after birth and we relieve minor ailments common during pregnancy. We also work on the breath to connect you with your growing bump, aid relaxation, give you confidence to relieve pain, facilitate delivery during labour and nurture your emotional well-being.


Postnatal classes focus mainly on the needs of new mums who don't have many opportunities to look after themselves. So, while there might be songs and movements for little ones, we will concentrate on postnatal recovery by rebalancing your body, replenishing your energies, and working on those areas that undergo particular strain during pregnancy, labour and looking after a newborn - 'feeding hunch', back pain, etc. Breathing and relaxation nurture you and help you ride the roller-coaster of mothering which is equally full of love, fun and joy as it is demanding, tiring, and emotional. Yoga provides a positive approach to the prevention and management of these emotions, enabling you to respond with more confidence and grace to the physical and emotional demands of mothering as well as to help you feel more in harmony and at peace.


I offer these classes at home, so they are small with a maximum of 6 participants. This allows me, as a teacher, to offer more dedicated attention and guidance to each student, and offers students a comfortable and safe environment where to share this most wonderful experience of pregnancy and motherhood with each other, thus creating a supportive community. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes having tea and chatting, unless you need to rush off somewhere.


Classes are held in Camberwell, very near the swimming pool and cost ?7. Because of the limited number of places, please contact me in advance if you want to attend.

Congratulations on your new arrival Sarah. I also meant to say it was great to meet you the other week in the French Caf?. I was having a stressful time with the hospital pressing me for an induction and talking to you helped restore my sanity somewhat.


Anyway, yes I suppose I should have mentioned that I have HAD A BABY! Sidney was born by c-section on 16 July. I can recommend a c-section, no pushing, no waiting hours to deliver the baby: 15 minutes on the slab and they hand your baby to you. Easy!

Congratulations to the 2 newest additions! Hope mummy's are doing well and can't wait to meet up again!


Rebecca has become very clingy lately so we are working on it..lol...people tell me to let her cry but I find it very hard.. I have been trying though.. so far today has been good, she has been in her play gym for at least 30 minutes so hooray!!! The heat is also a killer when you have a baby in your arms..it gets so sweaty...never thought I would look forward to colder days... lol

Sounds good to me. I'm getting to the cabin fever stage here! God help me, have only had baby 3 weeks, already getting a bit claustrophobic being stuck at home all day with a baby plus my partner who is off work for the summer (he's a teacher).


Now, where is the Dog Free area? I had enough trouble finding the Japanese garden last time...

If the weather is good and people fancy meeting outdoors again, perhaps in that enclosed bt in PR Pk then we would like to meet up- my toddler is impossible when in cafes etc and the only day I don't have him is Friday. Anyone around next week? I think the second half of the week looks good weatherwise...

I follow but have not posted much on here but I had a daughter on July 10th and would love to meetup with some Moms! I am still getting the hang of getting the pram and her out the door myself, but practice makes perfect I suppose.

    • Good morning, neighbours! We have around 1,000+ glasses like these from a café that just closed down. Not sure if anyone would like to keep some before we send them to charity. Please feel free to come and pick them up at 22 Upland Road, SE22 9EF anytime before 31st Oct😉    
    • What "stricter" consequences could there be for shoplifting (or any other crime) than being put into jail, do you think? Though our prisons are of course full enough already, without more people being shoehorned  into them.
    • Returning to the original question, I had my jabs at Tessa Jowell yesterday. I was early and I was  seen on time, and it was a lovely pharmacist who did them, but the admin beforehand (not by her) was a bit iffy. I was given forms to fill in but not told what to do with them afterwards, so I  presumed I had to take them into the consulting room, as the rest was supposed to be filled in by a clinician, but no! After some time had elapsed and I had found a seat (there was no information on where to sit either, so people were sitting in two separate areas, neither of which had many seats) my name was called and  the forms were taken behind the counter. Be aware if you don't have an appointment - even in the relatively short time I was there, three people turned up without appointments having been sent there by a GP (I presume) or having  previously been  asked by the pharmacy to come  back at a different time, and they were all sent away again because the pharmacy didn't have enough flu vaccine until the following day. I have no idea if this was due to a misunderstanding on the people's side, their GP's or the pharmacy's, but none of them were very happy, and one lady said she "couldn't keep coming back" 😭  At least one of them didn't seem to understand what he was being told, possibly due to a language issue. I felt quite sorry for the pharmacist, who was giving jabs all day on top of her usual workload but still managing to stay cheerful! Though she wasn't the one dealing with the unhappy people! I have a sore arm from the Covid jab (I chose to have the jabs in different arms), but no other ill effects so far, touch wood. 
    • Line speed and the strength of your Wi-Fi signal are two separate things.  The first is determined by the type of connection (fibre/copper etc) to the outside world and the second is the connection between the device (printer/TV/laptop/tablet etc) and the router. If you are connecting a device to the router using cables (as Alec1 is) then this is will give the best possible connection but isn't practical for many without a degree of upheaval and even then not all devices (tablets for example) will allow a wired connection. So you relying on the quality of the Wi-Fi signal from the router to the device and this will depend on the quality of the router, the type of Wi-Fi connection (the frequency), line of sight etc - many different things.  This is why some people opt for a "mesh" type setup which is supposed to give a solid quality of Wi-Fi signal around the house with little or no blackspots.  It's expensive though and still requires the devices that send and receive the signal (like the plug-ins you have) to be wired to the router.
