Hi everyone!

I am another late newcomer to the thread - Aggie, mum of Archie born on the 5th of Sept :).

Congratulations to all ladies that already had their babies and good luck for still expecting ones!

I can't believe how could I have missed this thread for so long but I am totally up for a meet-up with other mums! Definitely IN for next Monday (or Tuesday ;-) coffee!

Hello, I can do this Mon, and will normally be able to do Tuesday's, but not this week. I think Mon 10.30 at the Gardens sounds great and look forward to seeing others then - perhaps we can start the same thing for Tuesdays at the Dish and Spoon? I have only the one child, but love to be out and about so welcome outdoor activities as well with toddlers.

I'm quite close to Dulwich park, which with it's cafe and outdoor play areas might also be an ideal place for future meets?

Take care,

Kate

Would love to join these meet ups but can't make next Monday. Dulwich park sounds nice, perhaps we could go there as suggested by Kate for the following meet up? Mon / tues both fine for me for the week after next. (not 8th/9th but 15th/16th)


Carine - could you please share where are these baby massage class on Monday? Think my 3 weeks old Sheldon would be interested too!

Sounds like a good plan ladies, sorry I can't make this Monday, but will hopefully be there next week depending on when my baby actually arrives (she's due this Friday, and after a few manic weeks of uncharacteristic domesticity, I'm certainly ready now to meet her!). Congrats to everyone on recent arrivals, xx

Good luck Lovelyrita!


I can do this coming Monday but not Tuesday, although Tuesdays are normally free so the following week Tuesday would work. So Kate, Bexterboo and Aggie, I will definitely be on for meeting up at The Gardens on Monday at 10.30am - looking forward to seeing you there.

Congratulations Caroline! I hope all going well.


I should be able to make it again this Monday, though I may be a bit late as I have the boiler man in (getting all the household chores done before baby no 2 comes!)


I will have my almost 3 year old with me again but she enjoyed the last meet with Kate (and Charlie) and Rachel (and William).


See you then

Dreamaholic, the baby massage I'll be doing is at The Vale - but I think the classes may be full already. There are meant to be some at the clinic on East Dulwich Road too. If you can't find anything I've got my handouts from first baby - it's not that difficult, I just wanted the excuse to socialise!

Hi all, have been following this thread but unfortunately not yet attended any of the meetups - hope to meet some of you soon! My second is due Nov 18. In the meantime, just a thought, for you ladies expecting no 2 (or 3 or 4..) in November..

As some of you may have already discovered, the NCT only has one session of their "refresher" course locally in all of the autumn/winter 2012 and it is fully booked! Luckily a very good local midwife (Ariadna Sole) who

regularly runs courses for first time parents, is now offering a short refresher as well.


Thought I would mention it in case there are others out there that would be interested - I thought it would be good to get back in the new mother mind frame (feels like absolutely ages ago), as well as meet other mums in the area. And best of all the course is short! (Hard to find time when you've got other kiddies to look after)


Would be really nice to get a good group of us together for the course +afterwards too! Hope to see you there.


Dates/details/contact info for Ariadna and the course are here:

Hi girls,


Congrats to Fiona on the birth of Esme - very pleased for you!


For those of us still waiting - have you heard about the new government directive re Whooping Cough vaccine for pregnant women? Due to a spike in cases they are now offering the vaccine to all pregnant ladies between 28-38 weeks to try and then pass on some immunity to the unborn baby. I called my surgery (DMC crystal palace rd) 10 days ago as soon as I read about it as I was almost 37 weeks by then. No one had heard of it and no supplies had at that stage been sent - I think the government had published the advice before communicating fully with surgeries/ midwives etc


Anyhow - they called me Friday and invited me in for a quick jab with the practice nurse. I also bumped into another Autumn mum to be who was having it at the same time.

Sorry - pressed 'Post' before finished!

Was just going to add it might be worth calling your surgery to see if they have got supplies in and how they are dealing with it - ie a walk in clinic or individual appointments.


Also - I think they are giving it to those over 38 weeks too to try and pass on immunity in the time we have left...



Louise

Hello autumn mums, I'm around tomorrow for a meet up so will waddle along to the Gardens tomorrow morning (can't figure out if it's 10am or 10.30?). I'll have my almost 3 year old with me, but no newborn - she's due today but no signs of her yet!).

Hello, 10.30 was the meeting time for Monday's so perhaps we can stick with that? I know I can always use an extra half hour... Also, would anyone be interested in sorting a meeting time for Thurs or Fri at Dulwich Park? Perhaps the aft?

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
