Hi everyone!


I'd love to join this group please! I'm due on the 14th of Nov, at King's. It's my first and i'm very excited, but also quite scared!

I can't make your picnic on the 17th (sounds fab) but would love to come to any other meetings/ gatherings you're having. Please add me to the list!

It's so nice to know there's lots of mums (first time and more experienced!) around to ask for help, share advice/ problems, and to eat cake with!


Look forward to meeting you all soon!

Hi Ladies,

Hope the sickness is now under control? I've just hit the 3rd Tri (yay!) and the nausea is creeping back in (might be the stress of whats to come now that i'm rapidly running out of trimesters!!)

I've now cut down my days at work and have wednesdays and thursdays off so if anyone is around and fancies meeting, let me know. I'm about to start the wednesday morning yoga class at the Dulwich Therpay rooms too - anyone go to that one?

Hi all,

I'm due Nov 22nd with my second. Will PM my email address, would love to join in any future meet-ups - unfortunately I can't make July 17th. My son is now 15 months old so slightly nervous about coping with two under two!

Hope you are all feeling well and hopefully meet up with some of you soon!

Hi there,


I also have that slight fear of the two under two effect. My little girl is just about 17 mths. I'm also around on Wednesdays and Thursdays (although not for much longer because we have to move out next month while we have an extension sorted - all being well we should be home a couple of days before due date!!). If you and anyone else who's around fancies a last minute picnic in a local park tomorrow, say aye! Peckham Rye? Dulwich? Somewhere else?


Ta, Eilidh (funny spelling is pronounced Hailey without the H!)

Sorry Eilidh, I've been running around doing yoga / midwife and things today and didn't see your message in time! Although these days-off are supposed to be my down time, I'm out doing bits and pieces all afternoon! I'm around tomorrow though! X

Can't believe how many of us have joined this thread! Really looking forward to meeting those that can make it on the 17th and big thanks to sunlover for getting us organised. Also would be great to meet up with anyone who's around during the week. We can do most Mon, Tues and weds afternoons. We've been to the new sandpit and waterjets at Brockwell Park which are fantastic for little ones and there's plenty of space for pic nic blankets etc. What about Monday 27th or Wednesday 29th?


If anyone's about, my email is [email protected]

This sounds like a fantastic idea! I went along last week - it was absolutely brilliant. My wee girl had a cracking time in the water and then played about in the sandpit area for ages afterwards - and I particularly enjoyed the picnic part! The Monday works for me too...

argh I can't make the picnic on the 17th...my mum has organised a party for my nana's 80th birthday on the saturday night (oop North). I'll be 34 weeks by then so it would probably be a bit much to come back down for the sunday picnic.

Really gutted as I was hoping to meet some other local mums before I head off on maternity leave!!

If anyone fancies meeting mid-week let me know. xx

Hi All


I am due 5th Nov with my first and would love to be added to the mailing list (will PM my email address).


Really up for meeting up but have a mass of weddings over the coming months so wont be able to make 17th... hopefully the next one.


Speaking of weddings, does anyone have a good suggestion for where to buy a nice maternity dress to wear to them? I thought I had a dress that would last but trying it on tonight it seems the bump is already too big!!


Look forward to meeting you all soon,

Zoe

I am also up for meeting other moms during the week, albeit from next month. Will be off on Wednesdays and Fridays. This is my first, so don't have a little one to take along to water park as yet... But will also definitely be coming on 17th.


Zoe - Tiffany Rose has lovely dresses. They are a bit on the expensive side of things but super comfortable and stunning. You might be able to bid for one on ebay...

I bought a dress by 'Butter by Nadia' in Questionnaire in Dulwich Village for a wedding pre pregnancy - it was quite dear but this amazing design which means you can wear it in about 100 different styles - anyway, it's one size and have recently worn it to a wedding with bump, with success! Might be worth it if you want something you would wear again post baby? I also in my last pregnancy had a million weddings and bought a Ghost dress which was short with an empire line, it even coped with a 7 mth bump and being a non maternity dress I've worn it between pregnancies too.


I can't now come to the water park because my son has a hearing test in town now that day, but wd def be up for meeting another time and will come on 17th.

Check out www.lushmummy.co.uk. They're based in East Dulwich and will drop off your order or you can pick it up. They have some lovel dresses, all unsized and suitable for post pregnancy too, some even have discreet breastfeeding openings. I'm really happy with mine!


I have a Topshop Maternity Dress you're welcome to borrow, I only wore it once to a wedding last time I was pregnant. It's a pink, floral pattern, size 10.

Thanks for all the fab suggestions ladies... and for your offer Crystal - unfortunately I am less of a size 10 and more like a size 14/16!!


I trawled all the websites and in the end found a purple dress in Pretty pregnant which i think will do the job, just need to try it on again with all the accessories etc. First wedding is in Malta so will be nice to get some sun, if only for a weekend!


Hope you are all well and having a great weekend

Zoe

    • https://chng.it/YXCH5XXVMY We live near and it’s absolute hell. The noise of the people coming and going from Peckham is the worse. They are so loud and obnoxious. This is my 5th year of this nonsense. People vomiting in my front garden, urinating in my neighbour’s gardens, throwing food into my garden. Screaming waking up my children while waiting for their Ubers. The people that organise this festival are 100% obnoxious. They told us there would be security along our road (there wasn’t). I asked them to put up my family in a hotel but they wouldn’t. It’s actually a human rights infraction for all of us this badly affected. Over the years I have spent so much money trying to be away this weekend but none of us should have to. The data also shows that most people coming are not local residents - so of 3000 tickets sold, hardly any to residents; it’s easy to argue that it disadvantages us residents way more than any conceivable benefit. My elderly neighbours are besides themselves. Every year the setup and striking of the festival blocks off the park during half term, plus the antisocial behaviour and loud noises mean actual children that live here are prevented from using the park and playgrounds. The police initially rejected the license last year… then suddenly changed their mind with no apparent reason… seems legit. Also the GALA team lie and make false statements in their advertising about consulting with us (they don’t they just tell us what is going to happen then are extremely obstinate and rude). My neighbour runs Friends of Peckham Rye and has been totally distressed by all the damage done to recent planting initiatives funded by the local community. GALA do not repair this, GALA pay off Southwark and then Southwark refuse to confirm what they are paid, or how much (if anything) is spent to repair the park.   This needs to be stopped once and for all!!   Petition asking Southwark to stop providing the license to GALA once and for all.    I mean I am sure they will listen to us just like they did about the LTNs…   https://chng.it/YXCH5XXVMY
