Hi Everyone


Congratulations Laura - that sounds like a dream birth experience... you lucky thing!! Must have been a bit of a shock coming two weeks early but at least it was a straight forward one... and out the same evening too - impressive!


Subject to getting toddler looked after I'm up for the 14th Vanessa - would be good to catch up. Franklins works for me!


I'm working from home tomorrow so up for a Dulwich Park cafe get together as weather looks like it'll be nice.... I won't be able to make it until a bit later this week though as got to see diabetes police at 11.30 which may take a hour or so.. so could be at park around 1pmish realistically. Anyone else around?

Congratulations Laura - and welcome Sam number 3!


Jane - possibly around tomorrow but juggling appointments with both community midwife and health visitor so not sure can commit to specific time for the park. Frank and I will make it if we can though. Good luck with the diabetes police.


Franklins on the 14th sounds good - count me in.

Congrats everyone on the additional babies and sams! Just to say I'll probs be venturing to bumps and babes at st faiths on red post hill (just by north dulwich station-20 min walk from lordship lane) with newborn this friday. Starts at 10 and is a really good/ friendly new mums group I went to with baby 1. Would really recommend it if u want to get out and about

X

Nikki - I'll see you outside the cafe in dulwich park tomorrow about 1pm. I'll PM you with my mobile number in case you need contact me for any change of plan.


Jenny - hopefully catch you tomorrow between midwives, health visitors and diabetes clinic... forgot how time consuming this baby lark is!!

Congrats Laura and great name!


I might make the park tom although I've totally overdone it lifting my toddler and really hurt my scar so not sure if I can walk that far again yet. Am pottering around in herne hill ok so if any of the herne hill mums are up and about let me know.


Rosie I'll take Sam to bumps and babes on Friday, we went the other week and it's so lovely. 9.30 till 11.30 although sometimes not on in the holidays.

Great news Laura! Looks like the Spring Babies Club is doing its part to raise the name Sam through the ranks of the popularity charts. And you're not alone with finding the breastfeeding tricky. Have a look at the breastfeeding homepage on Mumsnet for some advice and tips, I found it really helpful and reassuring. http://www.mumsnet.com/babies/breastfeeding


Caroline - you are totally normal! My little guy has generally been a dream compared to my first one, but this weekend he seems to have turned the tables on me and is playing the "crying all the time, feeding non-stop, never happy" game. Charming. I'm ready to play the "throw the baby out the window" game! ;-) Seriously though, just muddle through as best as you can and remember that it will settle down and become more manageable - there is light at the end of the tunnel!!


I'll try and make it to Dulwich Park tomorrow depending on the mood of the little monster. x

Congratulations Laura and Sam...


I can't make it for 1 tomorrow was hoping it would be more like 11... I have booked a hairdressers appointment for 1 (might be a while until I get the time to go again)!


I would be up for next week ( hope the weather keeps up) an also the 14th...


Hope everyone in well xxx

Hi ladies and bumps!


I've not been on here for quite some time as little Elliot has been keeping his mummy very occupied!

Congratulations to all the new mummies....seems that boys are ruling at the mo!

I may well be able to make the 14th but it may have to be without Elliot as his daddy gets very overprotective of 'their time'.

I would have loved to meet up in the park today, but I have a friend coming round. Do let me know if anyone fancies meeting up during the days at all as we're getting cabin fever!!!


Hope everyone's keeping well,


Emily

Hi all,

Thanks for the breastfeeding advice. We've just found out he's tongue tied so that explains his incessant feeding. It's a relief to find out that was not normal!


We're around on 14th too so would love to join. Perhaps Sam could meet one of his fellow Sam's.

xx

Goodness how many of our babies our Tongue tied? My sam also is as was his brother. We've not had the snip this time though as he's happy on the bottle but am amazed by the high number. It often seems to be in the early babies.


We re at a wedding on the 14th (ambitiously taking Sam!) but see some of you tomorrow at bumps and babes. Lots of parking there at st faiths on red post hill, 9.30 till 11.30 and bumps very welcome as well as babies!


Xx

4 days to go till due date for me and instead of feet up and relax I'm paint brush in hand getting our new home ready to move in next week 2days past due date hoping my little man holds on till we're in there ' I've gota be one of the only mums to be hoping for a late arrival although I must say my back is hoping otherwise.

Is it normal to be really worried about the size of baby ? I'm not worried about the pain (at the moment) just that he is going to be huge and nobody will like him :( am I just being awful ? What if he is 17lb or something crazy ! Starting to wish I had ate a lot better but too late now.


Welcome to the world spring babies and wow lots of SAMs xx

Hi all


After the most stressful 2 weeks of my life after being told in a late scan that there were abnormalities, our little one was born a week early via a planned csection (as he was breeched). He is HEALTHY and adorable, we are over the moon.


Another boy! He name is Arlo James. I am am still in hospital recovering but am hoping to be let out this evening.


Love to all

Hi all,


Sion William Dennis (Sion pronounced like Sean or Shaun for anyone not familiar with the Welsh spelling) was born on 24th March, one and a half weeks early due to my pre-eclampsia. I was admitted to hospital quite suddenly and induced - all a bit of a whirlwind! He was already 7 lbs so quite glad he arrived early as he might have been quite hefty had he stayed in til his due date or beyond!


We are both fine and hoping to make it to a meet up soon.


Congratulations to all the other new mums!

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
