Hi Everyone


I'm so sorry not to have made the recent hook ups.


Hector is doing well and putting on weight as he should and sreaming the house down with colic. O.M.G.


Like the idea of a lordship land meeting as it's very near me! How about East Dulwich tavern? - it's roomy for prams and bumps..or......the caff in peckham rye as we all know it?


Shall I take lead ..? Are we after weekday or weekend? xxx

Hi all, would be happy to meet up during the weekend and the week.

Jess, good to hear little Hector is doing well :)

Jude, perhaps we should go ahead organising a weekend meet up and a week one as well.

My due date is very near so I wont be organizing the meet ups and I'll join you as long as I can. If I'm not around at some point soon is that it could all be happening for me.

Look forward to see you all,

Hello SBC:)


I'm hoping to come along on Friday with my 3 week old, Iona. It's still a bit of a mission leaving the house (or even getting myself together in the morning!) but will give it a good go! It'll be lovely to see/meet some of you then.

Hi lovely mums to be


My name's Hollie and I'm a local mum with a 2 year old little boy. When I found out I was pregnant I was pretty terrified at the thought of giving birth, and on a friends recommendation did a HypnoBirthing course with my partner. It changed everything for me and I actually found myself enjoying every second of my pregnancy and feeling calm and confident - even excited - about the prospect of birthing my baby.


I went on to have the most wonderful birth experience and can only describe it as the most peaceful, calm and romantic experience of my life (really!). It was beyond all realms of what I though was possible, largely due to the way in which we in the western world are conditioned to believe that birth must be this excruciating and sometimes traumatic experience. My partner and I were equipped with simple but specific self-hypnosis techniques, along with breathing and massage techniques that made our birth an experience we could share and enjoy together.


Since having my son I have trained as a HypnoBirthing practitioner and have equipped many couples with the skills they need to have a calm and comfortable birth - the way birth should be. I run weekly classes at my home in East Dulwich which cost ?285 per couple for a 4 week course, including the accompanying book, CD and all class handouts, plus ongoing support for the rest of your pregnancy.


If anyone is due towards the end of May there's still time to enrol on my April HypnoBirthing course which starts on Wednesday 3rd April, 8.00-10.30pm. Please visit http://www.londonhypnobirthing.co.uk or email me at [email protected] for more information.


All the very best to you all for lovely births.

Yes - that's noon this Friday at the East Dulwich Tavern.


Congratluations Suzie! I hope it's going well and that we can meet Iona on Friday.


Esther - hang in there, it would be great to catch up before you pop! :)


Hope to see a few of you then! As there are only a few people coming, please let everyone know in advance if you can't make it.

Hi there,


sorry to have been a bit absent from the thread: we have been housesitting back in Islington whilst the worst bit of our building work is done (we hope). I have found it a bit much commuting across. But i think I have to get my daughter to nursery tomorrow (in PR!) so will try to come along and catch up with those who are going.


Will be lovely to see you all

Might be quite a few away on Easter weekend - we are, God help us!


But the following weekend? 6/7 April


And going forward, there was talk at the last meet of setting up a weekly, almost drop in, session on the same day/place... Maybe a Tuesday or midweek, maybe at the EDT... Easier for all of us with baby brain not to forget we thought. sound like a good plan?

Hi everyone, I met some of you at the Victoria inn a few weeks ago. A few of you were due end of march so hope those of you who have produced already are doing ok, and those who are due any day have a good birth experience! I am now on maternity leave - hooray - and so am looking forward to meeting up with you again. I'm not due till end of April so hoping for plenty of time to rest before number 2 arrives. Weekday meet ups def better for me and I'm all for a regular drop in slot.


On another topic, has anyone found any daytime yoga sessions?


See you all soon, Jennie xx

Weekly drop in session on Tuesday sounds great to me. When everyone has had the babies I think there will definetly be many of us. I just wonder if there are enough of us that would regularly go right now. I'm due very soon (today!) so might not be able to make it for some time, but after I was settled with baby I would defenetly go. Tuesdays would be great for me.


Anyone else thinks Tuesdays is ok? And how many of us could start going there regularly?

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
