Good to meet you on 1st. Unfortunately i can't make 18th but I would be keen to do something in March (perhaps boys included).


Thanks for posting the link to Kings. I was hoping to visit the maternity ward in a couple of weeks but it sounds like they've stopped them.


I start my maternity leave on 16th so I can do Tuesday meet ups after that... looking forward to my 32 week scan on Monday :)

Hello,

I can't make 18th either but 5 more weeks of work and then am free on Tuesdays (my last day is 15th March) and around on Mondays and Fridays in the meantime. Can't believe all these babies are soon going to pop out! Have my 32 wk scan on Monday, looking forward to seeing the little guy again! xx

Hey ladies


Hope you are all keeping well and bumps are growing beautifully.


Can't make 18th unfortunately but I go on mat leave 24th so very keen to meet up during the day from then on. Am also starting to look at some local nurseries so will put some feedback up On them once I've seen them. Any recommendations very welcome!


Got my 32 week scan on Wednesday and our boy (the lead twin) hasn't turned yet so c-section looking like a real possibility. Just had our tour of st Thomas maternity ward - was short and sweet and dint cover anything that nct classes cover (we've just done a couple at the hospital).

I still feel as though i have a long way to go and my maternity leave doesn't start till end of March! Anyway looking forward to catching up soon,

Emily

Hello ladies,

Hope you're all feeling well!

OK breakfast is booked at Franklins at 10am for this Saturday 18th - the booking taken by none other than Mr Rod Franklin himself! He is a very nice and jolly man and did make me chuckle as he announced in surprise that we were all 'rather pregnant last time we booked for breakfast'! He asked whether I was sure we wouldn't be having any babies arriving before the weekend!

Anyway, I've booked for 18 people as this is what I can count up from the forum.

If anyone else can make it, just give me a little shout and I'll amend the booking.

Looking forward to seeing you all.

Speak soon,

Sophie


ps I would like to come to the meeting on 29th Feb, just seeing if the other half is free...

At a toddler bday party on Sat morning so will have to miss that one - will be able to come along for the 29th (first day of maternity leave so will allow myself my one unit a week allowance to celebrate!!) but not sure I'll be able to bring the OH unless I can sort a baby sitter.


Rhian - for the Tues meet up's, we could do 11am or maybe over lunch? Can sort on the 29th :-)


Glad all 32 wk scans are going well, mine next Mon, will be taking raspberry leaf tea at every opportunity after that as helped a few of my mates have very nice (if you can call it that!) quick labours!

Hi Hannah,


I just thought I would add a line here to say we're having a breakfast meeting this Saturday morning.

It's 10am at Franklins and there will be 18 of us going along.

So if you're free, please do come along!

The more the merrier.

Hi all,


I am currently in "talks" with my employer regarding their maternity policy and conditions and to assist me I could really do with some examples of what conditions other employers in London offer. I would REALLY appreciate if you could share this info with me by sending me a PM. Just company name and a brief explanation ie "ABC Company, 30 weeks at full salary". No need of course to give me any names or personal data. I am interested in hearing from all sectors but in particular if you work in banking/financial services in the city. And for those with husbands in the city - if they would like to share the maternity policy of their company as well I would be very grateful.


I would really appreciate your help on this.


I hope you and your bumps are all well!

Morning ladies,


I hope mums-to-be and bumps all doing well. Nearly the weekend...!


Sorry to have missed the last couple of catch-ups. Sophie, if it's not too late I'd love to see you all again for breakfast tomorrow.


Emma, Jess - baby Jones still breech so that makes at least three of us! Still time for babies to turn...


Look forward to you seeing you all tomorrow,


Sal

      How oversubscribed are the local schools? Will they be able to take on students who are currently privately-educated?

      By lollol · Posted

      Southwark and Lambeth may have some spaces but this is not the case of other London boroughs nearby particularly at secondary level. Also this is not just a London issue. There are many regions throughout the UK that have no school places available (eg Kent due to new housing developments, rural areas, Surrey, Guildford, Edinburgh etc). Just because you feel it doesn’t affect you, does not mean it’s right.  You also need to consider the proportion of foreign students in many of the private schools in the area which distorts the impression that local people can pay private school fees and suck up an additional £4-5k per child and per year. And sadly, the psychological and emotional impact on children is not even being discussed.

      Education not taxation - please consider signing this petition!

      By lollol · Posted

      Step in a child’s shoes just for one moment and think what it would be like to have to move schools in the middle of the year away from your friends, teachers, community etc. due to a political stunt. I doubt the money will even go into education. The UK will be become the only European country to tax education. Primary schools have some capacity where I live but I have enquired and there are currently no places for secondary school where I live. Again, so easy to be smug and say we should have pre planned a potential outcome 5 years ago when you live in your £2-3m homes next to the best state schools in Dulwich (like Keir Starmer!)

      By malumbu · Posted

      Birth rate collapses sounds a bit like Armageddon.  It's a mixture of a decline following a bulge, where many schools had to increase intake, and families moving out of the capital due to high cost of housing.  Now that is an irony, that only wealthy families, many who can afford private schooling, can afford to live in many parts of London.
