Hi there, I'm due beginning of May - about 2 months after my sons 2nd birthday (I also have an older daughter who will be nearly 4).


So that's at least 3 older brothers all around the same age!


Has anyone looked into NCT classes in the area for second/third time parents?

Ah, congrats all... so glad I'm not the only one - was starting to worry there!


And sounds like we're all in similar boats. I did look into the NCT refresher course but was so sick when the deadline for paying came that I just didn't follow up my booking, and haven't got round to it since.


Still can't believe how much worse I felt this time compared to last time. Hope you're all feeling well by now?

Hi Everyone and congrats!


I'm also due my 2nd at the beginning of March. My son is nearly 3 and there has been a bit of chatter about the little one in my tummy. For those of you with little ones already have you mentioned the next arrival?


Don't think I'm going to do the NCT class, hoping that it will all come back to me!

Beginning to get excited, feeling the Buba kick, so it feels more real. So much I want to do though, a long list of curtain making, DIY and generally getting some sort of order around here!! X

Hello! Another one expecting number two. Due at the end of May so still very early days - scan isn't for another three weeks. Our son will be nearly 21 months when he/she arrives and hasn't been sleeping very well recently - feeling terrified at the thought of going back to newborn sleep patterns! Very excited though.


Haven't decided yet about an NCT type class as too early still and, after last time, I'm not sure how helpful it will be.... Like the idea of meeting other people in a similar situation though.

Hello! And congratulations to all you second time mums!


Are there any other first timers out there?! I'm expecting my first at the start of March, and despite a growing bump am struggling to get my head round the fact that we'll be a family of 3 come the spring.

It looks like there are quite a few of us around to form a group and meet and refresh our memories... no need for NCT ;)


izzybob - quite terrified myself of going back to newborn sleep patterns! hopefully I will manage it better this time!

Hello all and congratulations on your pregnancies.


I am due in May with my second (my daughter will be almost 3). Very exciting although I have felt my share of nervousness too, especially around sleep and combining looking after a toddler and a newborn at the same time...


If anyone is interested in Active Birth classes I was trained by Janet Balaskas and Michel Odent and run workshops from my home in Camberwell every 6 weeks or so (including a section on Waterbirth). So far every mother I have taught has had a 100% natural, positive birth and only one mother has torn (it was tiny and didn't require a stitch). All home birth mums got the home birth they wanted and everyone else was very happy with their experience in hospital too. My next workshop is on December 16th and one of my home birth mum and dads are coming by for an hour to share their story and answer questions. The day costs ?35 per person and includes lunch, snacks, cake and beverages. Please PM me if you are interested.


Looking forward to meeting those of you who would like to meet up with our newborns in the spring!


Charly.

Hi ladies


I'm new on here so hope you don't mind me joining.


I'm 36 and pregnant for the first time. At 15 weeks now and will be having a C section around 25 April (although this little one is already massive so maybe a little sooner if it carries on this way!).

Hi everyone


I'm a (very excited!) first timer, due on 9th of May. Have booked myself in for NCT at Lammas Green in Upper Sydenham since the class days worked out best.


Have got lots of mummy friends in the area - one meets up with her Dulwich Forum Spring Mum's and the other 2 with the summer mum's from this year. So thought i'd check it out and see what's happening for 2013 babies.


I think they all met up at The Plough.


Hope everyone is doing well.

Hello all!


I'm due with my second in May, and we will have a two year gap. I don't think we will be doing any nct refreshers or anything, although might get a bit nervous nearer the time and retract that! Activebirthcharley, watch this space!


Good luck to all of you and I'm sure we will all cross paths at some point in the next few months

Hello again,


Welcome and congratulations to everyone!


Speaking of Active Brith Charly, would anyone be interested in a weekday class? For various reasons, even though I've 'been through' the process before, I'd really like to go to a workshop Charly is putting together. I work full time and have a toddler, and am loath to lose another day of the week from her even if the cause is as good as this!


Let me know so I can see if its worth putting a big enough class together to make it worth Charlys time. I have spoken to her via pm and she is willing to do a weekday class subject to numbers.


Have a good day everyone!

      I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience

      Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
