Hi all


Great to read about all your goings ons over the last week. Sounds as though you've all been busy!


Well, my little 'Sprout' finally made her grand entrance on Monday night (her due date) after 5 very long days of labour and induction. She weighed in at 7lbs 9ozs, so not the MASSIVE baby they were expecting. We're still in hospital for at least tomorrow, by which time we're hoping to have picked her name. Has all been a bit of a shell shock and we can't quite believe she has only been here for 36 hours, but I'm sure once we're back at home, things will make alot more sense!


Good luck to those due this week.

Great news Nicky, we were wondering whether there was news when we met yesterday. Glad to hear she has arrived safe and well, although sorry that you too had to endure a long induction (you weren't in bed 26 were you? It's jinxed!).


Take care xx

Congratulations Nicki! 5 days wow! You need a medal.


Sorry to miss the meet up. I was back at Kings for the breastfeeding consultant who thinks that as well as reflux (baby), I have oversupply (I knew). So tomorrow my partner is working from home so he can take the older one to nursery while I stay in for 4 days and lay back at every feed and try to space out the feeds... wish me luck that this might improve things and I can have a happier baby and some sleep!

Hopefully up to meet next week.

Well done Nicky.. Looking forward to name update!!


Taking toddler to DiddiDance at East dulwich constitutional hall at 10am tomorrow. It's very cute, music, ribbons, scarves etc

You can book a free trial if you fancy checking it out..


And I've been thinking about a regular weekly meet up?

Mondays are my toddler free day so coffee/cake would be lovely. Green and Blues was very quiet at 10am this week.. Is that good for anyone else?

Let me know if anyone has better suggestions.

Hi all. I'd also love a weekly meet up but will have my toddler all the time other than wed and Thursday mornings... Maybe we could have a couple of options to include toddlers or not!

W would probably be happy for a bit in G&B but I probably wouldn't get a chance to chat! It seems like most people are toddler free at the beginning of the week though by the sounds of it.

Hi all - I keep meaning to come along to one of the meetings and haven't got act into gear! Daughter turns 2 the week I'm due in 3 weeks time. Now on mat leave so will aim for the next day time meeting with toddlers hopefully before I pop. Will keep an eye on thread and hopefully see you all soon.

Hi all,


Mothercourage and I are deffo meeting up on Monday morning for coffees.. Venue to be confirmed but The Garden's do lovely breakfasts...?

Green and Blues didn't seem to offer anything but drinks last week.


So I'll suggest The Gardens from 10am on Monday if anyone else is interested.. Lots of space for buggies too!


Then a more toddler friendly option could involve park too.. I'm happy to meet up with toddlers later on in the week..


Keep us posted Laura ;)


Have a good weekend x x

Count me in for Monday.


Kate and I were discharged by our midwife yesterday which is great, but as she left I realised that having had her visit me weekly (sometimes more) since 19 weeks pregnant I'm going to miss her! On the plus side, my little fatty weighs a whopping 2860g now :)

I may drop by tomorrow morning. I need to go my Gp at the gardens in the morning and hubby will take toddler to the park. I had totally forgotten how much newborns can sleep, so I'm trying to make the most of it before she wakes up just in time for me to be left alone with the two of them!!

Hi All,


I will try and make it tomorrow morning for 10 too. Will have my first with me plus bump, which I wish was a baby by now but just doesn't seem to want to move. That said my due date is still not til Wed so I guess I can't really complain yet.

I will try to trundle along with bump tomorrow morning (assuming seriousbaby doesn't make an appearance tonight after 3 sweeps in 3 days) - am booked for induction on Tue morning, so may be one of my last peaceful mornings for a while!

    • I've just had James from Trelco round doing taps and hot water.  Prompt, efficient and pleasant people and the cost came in under what we thought it would be! Will definitely use them again.
    • Yes - adult care is a large part of the CT bill.  That does not mean the council spend our money well or wisely.        
    • “What do councils spend all the money on?” Is, in my view, one of the most profoundly emblematic of our times  we go about our lives, backed up by councils and governments and complain they aren’t needed  reform win elections based on “we’re gonna go in and slash all the waste!” Only to later admit there effectively isn’t any oh and by the way we need to increase council tax   Now all we have to offer is racism and ineptitude sorry about that  https://www.gbnews.com/money/reform-elon-musk-doge-failed-savings So where does the money go? On a multitude of services - but the increasingly aged population and the care provision required is a large part of it  the government could give councils more money to avoid council tax rises  - but the we would have to pay more in jewels taxation  and as a country we tend to pay less than other similar countries  so we end up with an expensive mend and make do approach  I don’t see any political parties offering a solution   Starmer is obviously lacking in many areas but he is the result of a hostile media and a reluctant population willing to hear truths  (wait until we hear how much we will need to increase defence spending by in the coming years) If a party stopped pretending all the money was wasted but published a list of costs, projections and proposals that wasn’t gutted to suit the landscape of needing to not bemonstered by the press or deemed too expensive by voters I would be very interested      can’t see that happening tho  (also worth reminding ourselves of all the brexiters who said things like “I don’t care how much it costs   I don’t care if I lose my job  it’s about taking back control!” And yet now we find them complaining about increasing costs. As they always will complain about everything  because it’s always someone else’s fault)   
    • I wouldn't be going all the way to Dobbies  just to take flowerpots! 😀 It's a very good garden centre with a wide range of well kept  plants and helpful staff, at least it was on the only occasion I've visited it, last year!
