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

Weekday would be great, have failed to make any yet...well just the one I organised at green&blue so it would be good to try and squeeze one in in the few weeks left.

Weekdays are good for me too

[MM22]

Weekday mornings would be great! X

[Saand]

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! I hope you're all well and getting excited now, if you've not popped already! :) I would love to catch up with everyone. I can do lunch time on weekdays (except Thursday) or weekends. How about this Friday at noon at the EDT?

[Saand]

Hello there! :-) Yes, I'd be able to come this Friday for lunch (if you don't hear from me at some point it's that I've popped). Edt, it's that East Dulwich Tavern in Lordship Lane? X

[sdurham]

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,

I'd like to come along on Friday at the EDT too - would love to meet your 3 week old Suzie! Hope everyone is feeling well.x

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 all, I'm very sorry but something has come up and I won't be able to make it this Friday. Look forward to the next meet up. X

[fknox1]

Hi Victoria, we met on Monday at pilates, hope to see you on Friday at noon. Fi

[Saand]

Hello again, well, I've actually been able to rechedule my other appointment so I can make it to our lunch! :-) see you on Friday noon then. E x

[Piaf]

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

[Saand]

On my way there, just running a bit late! X

Hi,

I moved to East Dulwich a few weeks ago and am expecting my first baby at the end of May. I am now on maternity leave and would like to come to your next meet up. Please let me know.

Gemma

[jnb]

Hi guys can the next meet be a weekend?! I'm do gutted I keep

Missing them.. Shall I pick a date? Xx

[Vic]

Go for it Jess! Although I can only do next Sat morning... xx

[Piaf]

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?

Jude x

[Katiesa]

A regular meet up would be fab as I keep not making/forgetting the ones that have been planned at different times and somewhere with space for our toddlers to run around would be great. Katie x

[MM22]

Agreed! Regular meet up (toddler friendly!) would be great! Hope you are all coping with the final hurdle - a bit of sunshine would be welcome however! X

[j-mo]

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

[Saand]

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?
