Hello! I'm expecting our first at the end of Sept, would love to meet other new mums!

[Specklemum]

Hi, we?re expecting our third (eek!) in November. I really enjoyed being part of one of the baby groups with my youngest and be great to meet others expecting at a similar time this time around. :)

Hi, I?m expecting my second in November and enjoyed the meet ups last time round from this group. Would also be great to meet people expecting similar time as I don?t think i?ll do any antenatal classes - unless anyone can recommend a good one for second/third time parents...

[Specklemum]

Hi Waffo, last time we did a refresher antenatal course with an independent midwife called Ariadna Sole. It was a much smaller group than the NCT classes we did first time around and only 2 sessions. It was nice to meet parents in a similar position and I thought the advice on adjusting to family life with an additional child was very handy. I?ll probably just do some kind of pregnancy exercise class etc this time around though.

[Waffo]

Thanks Specklemum, I've heard that Ariadna Sole is pretty good from other people. Where are you thinking of doing a class? I'm thinking of doing the pregnancy pilates again at ESPH, I thought that was pretty good first time round (if a little expensive!!)

Hello all, my wife (Jade) and I are expecting our first on 2nd November. Jade would love to be involved in any future meetings etc. We're pretty new to the area and don't have any immediate family near by (having moved to London from Liverpool around 5 years ago). Peter.

[Waffo]

Hi Peter and Jade, welcome to the area!

I?m happy to set up a whatsapp group for us. If you want to PM your numbers over i?ll Get one started

[LinneaL]

I'm expecting my 2nd towards the end of September. Would love to meet other moms in the area as we just moved here a year ago. Will send my number to Waffo in case a whatsapp group is being created. Thanks!

[Gribling]

Hello,

Also due baby number 2toward end of September and Id like to join what?s app group.

Thanks for organising Waffo.

[Specklemum]

Ooh, I?ll check out ESPH Waffo - presume you have to be a member? I did a taster yoga session at Goose Green clinic last time which was great, so might try to do a proper course of that. Would love to join the Whatsapp group - will PM you my number.

Hi all,

We are due our second in November and would love to join whatsapp group/meetups.

I did some of Michele?s yoga classes at goose green and also Jelly Bellies which I really liked so might do a bit of both this time round.

I think Adriana was on MAT leave so we did classes with ?The Group?. Would recommend them and might do the morning session for second time parents if anyone is keen to join?

Hi Everyone,

Hi Anne and Hannah, I?ve set up a whatsapp group, if you?d like to join send me your numbers.

[gingermccullum]

Hey all,

Thanks for setting up this thread! I'm expecting my first end of September and have been in Nunhead for 3 years. Am considering doing the Dulwich NCT but any other connections are always welcome! I'd recommend pregnancy yoga at Yogarise in Peckham too which I've been attending, really nice space and a class that still challenges.

Hi all,

Baby number two due in September for us. We?ll have two under two so I would love to meet others in the same boat and discuss coping strategies! I?ll pm my number. Hope everyone is feeling well!

[[email protected]]

Hi - a what?s app group would be fantastic maybe one for those expecting there first and one for those with number 2 or in my case 3 ;)

I?d be happy to set up the group for those already with a toddler, just text me your number:

07970299412

Or respond to this thread and I?ll keep checking it.

It would be great to have some baby friends, the first part is always a bit tough.
