Hello...had my first booking apt today which has made everything quite exciting! I just wondered if anyone had any advice re NCT courses? The midwife recommended them but also mentioned a lady called Ariadna who does classes but I know nothing about either as this is my first, so any advice would be great. Ideally we would like to meet new people to stay in touch with as none of our friends have babies yet and also get some advice on what's to come!

Have first scan on Friday, can't wait! Looking forward to hopefully getting to know some new mums in the area!

Hope everyone is feeling well x

Thanks Astrid! Yes would be great to meet up with everyone at some stage...clueless together sounds great! I reserved a place on an NCT course but haven't confirmed it yet. Me and hub both clueless so all the help we can get is a relief. Sashabella I'm due 5 days after you!

Not yet...I only know that the husbando and I will probably argue about it! Also he wants to leave *everything* till like the end of May as he firmly believes in that 'you shouldn't count the chickens before they are hatched'...

I disagree, not that I need to go out shopping now but I don't think that it's anything wrong with thinking ahead. :)

There seems to be so much choice so if I was you I'd do what I'm doing and narrowing it down to the top 3 each with reviews to back them up! I'm ensuring one is far too expensive and one seriously flawed in some way (eg it only comes in pink or something) so I get my own way! Also I am pretty sure some pushchairs need to be ordered well in advance (that's what I am telling my husband anyway!)

Hello,


My hubby's been reading this forum for a while, but I just signed up today when I saw this topic as we're expecting baby number 1 on the 24th of June.


Similar to you guys I have no idea what to expect so it would be good to meet people in the same boat.


Had my scan at King's a few weeks ago and everything went well. Similar to Clofty, the baby wouldn't stop moving :)

    • Good luck with this - there have been several requests over the years by students needing to do infant observations.  I was lucky when I did mine  - way back in 1994 at a local nursery. Have you tried contacting the NCT to see if there are any local groups who would be willing to participate? As a mother of 2 - found the observation very informative - mine was a 2 year old child as my course stated a child under 3. Got my highest grade for this project so was very happy.
    • Happy birthday! I've just read a bunch of your reviews and really enjoyed it. You write Interestingly without being too ornate, and you manage to give a really good insight into the "vibe" of a place as well as the food. Totally agree with your review of Rocca - it's simple, great food in a friendly atmosphere at a completely reasonable price, esp considering the location.
    • Hello,  I am a 52-year old mother and an integrative counsellor who lives and works in West Dulwich, SE21. In mid January I am starting a new training in Parent Infant Psychotherapy (helping parents to bond with their babies), and a key component of the course is a 24-month infant observation.  I’m looking for someone who will be giving birth ideally in January or February and who would allow me to observe their baby for one hour a week until the baby’s second birthday. The baby can be awake or asleep, playing, feeding, eating or interacting with carer/s and family members - whatever they normally do at that time.  The purpose of the observation is to enable me to gain a thorough knowledge of very early infant development and to develop the capacity to maintain an observationally minded and non-judgemental attitude in my work as an infant-parent psychotherapist.  I will provide enhanced DBS clearance and I’m happy to answer any questions.  Please forward this email to anyone who might be interested, email me at [email protected] or call me on 07949716043. I would be extremely grateful for any leads. Many thanks,  Millie  Millie Burton, MBACP Integrative Counsellor [email protected] millieburton.com
    • I keep my promises...had the Sweet & Sour Chicken.  It was great - the best sweet and sour dish I've ever had. The chicken itself was good and the sauce seemed home made with real vegetables and pineapple - it is NOT the red sugar sauce goo you get elsewhere.  The Korean fried chicken was very good but the sweet chili sauce was much more chili than sweet - just far too spicy for me. There is a honey something sauce that I will get next time. Egg fried veggie rice was good as a side.  We also ordered the chicken katsu curry which was polished off so quickly I didn't get to taste it. It looked very good tho. SD is not like Magic Wok used to be - cheap and filling but junk food. (Don't get me wrong - I went often to Magic Wok). SD's food is much higher quality, real ingredients, chunky portions, freshly prepared. I'll be back, for sure.
