Not been there before and coming from dog kennel hill ... Is the cafe in the middle of the park and is it easiest to walk from college rd or cut through from lordship lane? Bus first? Not feeling hugely energetic! Thanks in advance

I would get the bus down Lordship Lane, I've only been a couple of times to the park but believe there is only one cafe which is by the lake? (well that's where i'll be heading) so follow signs to there, see you in a bit, Fi x

I'm at a table inside with 2 children and a bump. See you soon.

Hello,

Firstly, sorry for seeming to think everyone would want to meet at soft play - not really thinking that one through!

I knew I wouldn't make dulwich park, bit too late for me as toddler sleeps at 12. Didn't make it to Tumble either..... But did leave the house. It's day 1 on my own with 2 babies, (bye bye baby moon, it's been fun.....!) so feel like ive achieved something!

Next time....

Guess where I went today at 11.30?! PECKHAM PYE CAFE! Gutted...It suddedly dawned on me after I'd asked everyone in there if they were Spring babies....Can I blame baby brain?..Next time....xxxxxxx

[Katiesa]

Ha ha see my comment above...I went to Peckham park cafe too after the one o'clock club nxt door

!!! I too have massive pregnancy brain

[Kells]

Is it ok if I come along next week? If baby doesn't appear before then anyway! Is it a regular meet up?

Thanks

Kells

Hi ladies,

Tumble would be great for us, haven't been to date as I work Tuesday but off as of two weeks time with my nearly two year old.

I'm not due until the end of May so get the feeling that most of the babies in the group will have arrived by then too!

Morning ladies,

I'm new to spring babies and the east dulwich forum for that matter. So hope I'm doing this correctly. My first baby is due in early May and my midwife recommended I check this forum out now that I'm on maternity leave. It would be lovely to meet up as this is my first baby and chat about pregnancy and all things that is baby stuff! It's a lovely new experience but it would be nice talking with others going through the same things. Really just to get out and have a coffee, as my city work world has just ceased and it'd be nice to get involved in my E.Dulwich home world! Hope I'm also in the right forum and wondered if the group were meeting up anytime soon (next week?) and if you meet regularly? Looking forward to meeting you all.

Hi all,

We haven't made any meet ups yet - found it difficult to get out the house with a huge bump and a 19 month toddler once mat leave started. However, my baby boy arrived last week! Looking forward to getting to a meetup when we are able to get organised enough to get a newborn and toddler out at the same time! Would also be v keen on any meet ups at toddler groups to keep my 19 month daughter entertained.

Good luck for those who have yet to give birth! Looking forward to meeting you all soon x

Hi

I am expecting my first baby at the end of May and would also love to meet some other new mums in the area. I am in Honor Oak Park but East Dulwich/ Peckham Rye are near enough to walk for a coffee. I am off work early due to redundancy so I am around most of the time. Let me know if there are any plans to meet up.

Hi, really sorry I didn't make it today...baby brain made me forget until lunchtime! Sorry to have missed you. Will hopefully be able to come along to the next meet-up!

[GemmaBailey]

Hello all,

firstly, congratulations on your pregnancies and new borns to those who have already arrived! I hope you are all doing well.

I am new to the group and expecting my second baby on 4th May, my daughter is just over 3 1/2 and in nursery 4 days a week. I am now on maternity leave and would love to meet up with other mums-to-be. I won't being attending NCT classes this time around so I'm hoping this forum will provide a good opportunity for some socialising and support.....I am sure I have forgotten everything from the first time around though!

Are there any regular meet ups arranged or is this something we could do? Apologies if I have missed anything!

Really look forward to meeting you and your little ones soon!

Hi all,

hope yesterday's meet up went well... a few of us who were at Dulwich Park (and the EDT the week before) were thinking it would be good to set up a weekly meet at the same place and same day and time so that all our collective baby brains could cope! It would also be fairly relaxed, 'drop in' as it gets much harder to get out the house when the baby arrives (from memory - it was a result if i was dressed by midday...)

Not sure if it is up and running yet but I think the Clock House is starting a mother & baby/toddler drop in mornings Mon-Friday 9-12. It sounds like it could be a good venue as it would have activities for those bringing siblings, proper coffee and sofas etc and its near the park for sunny days.

I have to confess never been there but why dont we give it a try...?

What about Tuesdays 11ish?

Hope those who were overdue/due when I last saw them are doing well.

i think that sounds like a good plan - i doubt i will make next tuesday as currently three days overdue but based on how late i went with my daughter i could still be preggers on tuesday maybe a walk down there would help speed it along!

Great idea although the one o'clock club runs on a Tuesday morning in the hut in Peckham rye park and we always go to that at that time (10-12pm) A lot of mums go with their new baby and toddler as your toddler can run around and do all the activities so think will stick to going. What about doing the clock house regular meetup on a Thursday am? as I don't think there's much on then. Whatever the majority think i guess.

I'm due on Sunday and in unchartered waters as my first was a month early!!

Katie

[Blueskies]

Hi all

A regular arrangement sounds good. Either clock house or Peckham rye one o clock club works for us...what is the consensus? It will be good to have something for the toddlers to do too!

Katiesa - good luck, my first was just over two weeks early and second was a week late... Was climbing the walls by the end!

Looking forward to meeting up xx

[jnb]

Jude! Inspired idea! A regular meet would be great. Selfishly Thursdays also work for me.. Xx

[j-mo]

Hi ladies, I'm up for a regular meet now I am off work too. Tuesdays are fine by me (my toddler is staying on at nursery). Interested to try the clock house as that's new, but the cafe/club is always a winner too. Maybe we could try clock house next week and see what people think?
