Hi there,


I'm due mid June with my first. I moved to the area earlier this year and would really love to meet other mums/mums-to-be as I am a little worried about feeling isolated and lonely during maternity leave as I am the first of my group of friends to be having a baby. Family is not close enough to just 'pop' round either.


Can anyone recommend local activities or classes other than the usual NCT? I am early thirties.


Hope everyone's pregnancies are going well!

Hello Holwil86 - welcome to ED and congratulations!


ED is a GREAT place to have maternity leave - I am sure Andypops will agree. I have made some really good friends from a previous EDF group and hope to make some more through this group.


Shall we start up a whatsapp and facebook group now there are 3 of us? If people PM with their mobile numbers me we can add people who want to join, when they find this thread.


I recommend this class http://bumpandbabyclub.com/antenatal-classes/east-dulwich/


Book soon though.


Its also significantly cheaper than the NCT classes and covers a lot more. I found NCT focused far more on just the birth and not the after bits - like keeping the tiny human alive!

Hey Holwil86! I agree with Catherine, ED is the best place for mum friends and activities...there is so much going on and so many groups you will never struggle for someone to hang around with (and for solidarity when up at 3am). I moved here when i was 7 months pregnant with my first (who is now 22 months) and some of my best mates are people from my first mat leave - lots of classes, walking around the parks, coffees, wine, mom and baby exercise - whatever you?re into, its there. You will love it.


I think whatsapp and fb is a great idea. Will PM you my no. for the whatsapp...shall i set fb up and send you all the link?


I also agree on the NCT. Its not bad if you want to make a few local friends due around the same time (im still in touch with mine), however it is largely focused on birth and not the important stuff after.

The more the merrier! PM me your mobiles and I will add.


I am with the home birth team - they are lovely. I may not get a home birth due to my stupid blood pressure but they will still stay my midwives. Plus even if you are well enough to have a homebirth you can always change your mind and opt for a hospital birth, even in the thick of it.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's.

      When does a family run business become a chain?

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
