Hello to all you pregger ladies!


I posted quite a while back... I'm due on 17th October with my first and I am totally up for meeting on Sat 30th June.


Daytime would be really great. How about lunchtime somewhere near Peckham Rye park- like The Actress, Clockhouse, or The Gardens? Then if the weather looks good we can go from there to the park for a nice walk or something...


How does that sound to everyone? I'm happy to help arrange once we get some numbers finalised.

Hi,

Our first is due on September 10th - and we're booked onto an NCT course in West Dulwich from early July. Still in complete denial and i'm hoping that the NCT or meeting other pregnant ladies can help me prepare for what lies ahead! Also starting Yoga this evening at Jags, so i'll let you all know what it was like. Can't make it on the 30th, but would like to meet up.

Hi all, ok if I gatecrash? I'm due with our 2nd on 12th November, and like you Shen, it feels like a first time all over again. I can't believe how much things have changed! My DS will be 5 1/2 when this little one arrives and has been extremely laid back about the whole situation. I really dont think he knows what's in store! I am with Oakwood and am toying with the idea of a home water-birth (had DS at Kings, not the best experience but totally not through any fault of theirs). Any advice/opinions/tips gratefully received. Hope you are all absolutely blooming and cherishing this wonderful time :)

Hello autumn mums - here's a summer mum gatecrashing the thread.


I'm trying to get enough people together for a seminar by Nic from childsleepsolutions (see more info here: Child Sleep Solutions), she has had some great feedback on this forum.


I've got a 2-year old who thankfully now is a really good sleeper but the thought of going back to 14 months of no sleep with number 2 fills me with dread. I could do with a refresher and some strategies for the first few months, so I thought I'd try to get a group together.


The seminar is ?20 pp and once I've got enough people signed up I will organise a mutually convenient time.


Please pm me if you're interested.

Hi All,


Just came across this thread which is great.


I am due on 11th Nov with my first and keen to meet with others in the area also due around this time.


Lots of useful advice on here. Thanks everyone. I used to be with DMC Chadwick and had no idea of The Lanes. I joined Melbourne Grove Practise. Anyone else with them? I'm wondering why the Lanes is so popular?


Would love to hear from others due around the same time.


Thanks,


Pinky

Hi all


Not sure if I will be able to make the 30th anymore...hadn't realised my husband was out for day, and not sure whether can find a willing babysitter. So I'll have to be a 'maybe' and if I can sort a babysitter I will hopefully see some of you at the Clockhouse. And if not, will definitely try to make the next meet.

Hi all,


We're moving to East Dulwich (finally!) in 3 weeks and expecting our first baby on 16th September. Very excited!


Would love to meet on the 30th but prob won't make it till about 2.30pm.


Can't wait, thanks for the suggestion :-)


Btw, does anyone know about NHS antenatal classes and whether they're available at King's?


Thanks!

Victoria

Hi everyone,


just found this group! I'm due on the 9th Nov with my first baby - our second scan is next week, excited!!


I live goose green end of east dulwich and would be keen to meet up too but can't make this weekend - hoefully will make the next one.


Victoria - if its any help I've signed up to a few nhs antenatal classes at kings/dulwich hospital. The sign up forms were from the midwife so just waiting for confirmation of which I'm booked onto.


I'm also planning a home birth and have my first hypno birthing class on sat - anybody used this before?


Thanks!

I definitely won't be able to make it this Saturday now, just in case anyone is booking a table. I'd really like to meet you all before the babies arrive though, so hopefully next time.


Now, back to my 'end of tenancy cleaning'. Really regretting not getting a cleaner in...

Hi all,


I booked a table for 9 people for 2pm at the Clock House (after spending a not insignificant amount of time searching for a pub in Dulwich called the Clock Face!)


The booking is under the name Victoria but I won't be there till about 2.30 so hopefully some of you will be there beforehand to bagsie our table.


See you all then!

Hi Autumn babies club


I wonder if anyone would mind if I popped along on Saturday too. I'm really a 'summer' mum as I'm due toward end August but I only recently joined the forum and I think a lot of the summer mums are now having their babies or are on maternity leave & I'm still at work - I think I joined a bit late. I only moved to the area last year & it's my first so would be great any new mums who live nearby.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Sue · Posted

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."

      Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
