I can make the 19th (unless something crazy happens at work) - thanks for organising. I am booked on the NCT class at Maria Pinter's house in Herne Hill on 3 and 4 of May. We thought we'd just hit it hard for two days, hopefully learn something and make some friends (bonding through shock no doubt - I hear these classes are quite graphic!)


Geez saw this today - definitely something to avoid! - http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2013/mar/07/baby-born-on-london-commuter-train


See you all soon, Lou

Oh gosh that really is something to avoid!


Having said that. My friend gave birth to her daughter in a hotel bathroom last year.

She had been sent home from hospital 2 hours earlier as midwife thought it was going to be a slow process...

She and her husband didn't fancy the long journey back home so checked in to the nearest hotel as they were booked in for an induction next morning.

All of a sudden she got strong contractions, asked her husband to have a look and he could see the baby's head! So...he delivered his own baby.:)

Hi all,


I'm new to this entire concept (forum and baby group). We're due our first baby in August and I would love to join this group too! I don't know if I have to do much more than this to participate more actively?! Ha...techno-phobe, preggo brain!

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.


There are a few places left on my April & May courses, which would be perfect timing for those expecting summer babies. Places do fill up quickly so please get in touch to avoid disappointment. You can have a look at my website http://www.londonhypnobirthing.co.uk for more information, or email me at [email protected] if you have any questions.


All the very best to you all for happy and healthy pregnancies.

Hi there,

Thanks for the post Hollie!


How is everyone doing this week? A few people have mentioned a separate June meet up so I thought I would see who would be interested and get the ball rolling on picking a date and venue. What sort of thing works for June mums-to-be or mums-to-be again, would an evening or a wkend be better?


How about towards the end of next week or the wkend of 23/24th March?

Hi Everyone

Congratulations to you all.just a quick message to let you know I am starting Daisy Birthing classes in Honor Oak from Monday 18th. Daisy Birthing has a unique take on birth preparation and is so much more that a breathe stretch and relax or a pregnancy yoga class. Classes include a range of more conventional techniques combined into a 1hr 15 min class which allows mums to learn as they move.


Daisy birthing has combined :

* Yoga inspired movements

* Traditional Active Birthing

* Birth Breathing Education

* Key Birthing Education


Classes will build muscle memory and help you find intuitive techniques to help you enjoy a more comfortable birth experience. We run for six weeks at a time and each class is 1hr and 15 mins.

Please contact Nadine on 07554 762 933 on [email protected] if you'd like

to join us.

Take Care

Nadine

Hi there... I have just come across this thread and am keen to join in! I'm due on July 10th with my first, and I'd love to meet some people in similar situations in the local area. Is it ok if I pop along on the 19th March? What time will you be gathering in the EDT if so? Thanks

Hello ladies,

My friend told me about the summer babies group on the Forum and i'm delighted to have found you all!

I am expecting my first on 17th June and would love to meet you all.

If it's ok, i'd like to try and come along to the EDT on Tuesday?

If work gets in the way, then perhaps I can join the June babies group, but i am away the weekend of the 23/24th which i think was the date suggested.

Hope you're all well and looking forward to meeting you soon!!!!

Looking fwd to tomorrow! It's anytime from 7pm.


For the June meet up, I'm good for Sun 24th too if that works for most of the June ladies, and we can arrange another one soon after! Caroline, maybe we should pick somewhere child friendly and those already-mums can bring their little ones, what do you think?

Lovely to meet you all yesterday, I am already looking forward to the next one!


For ladies due in June, Jenny and I were talking yesterday about having a meet-up at the Gardens Cafe near Peckham Rye this Sunday 24th March. Let me know if you want to come along and I'll call up and book a table.

      You are again misinformed. The Highway Code is also clear about clothing.   It is here. Section 59 Section 59 of the Highway Code explains the appropriate clothing cyclists should wear in order to make it easier for other road users to spot them and help to keep them protected in the case of a collision. Cyclist clothing: Helmet – Your cycle helmet should conform to the current regulations, be the correct size for your head and be securely fastened. Appropriate fitted clothing – Your clothing should be tight fitted to prevent it getting tangled in the chain or wheel of your bicycle. Light clothing – Light and fluorescent clothing will help you to stand out in daylight and poor light. Reflective accessories – Strips on the helmet, as well as armbands and ankle bands will help you be seen in the dark. and  Section 60 This section of the Highway Code is all about cyclists’ lights and reflectors. At night cyclists must have their white front and red rear lights lit. Their bicycles must also be fitted with a red rear reflector and amber pedal reflectors. White front reflectors and spoke reflectors can also increase your visibility to other road users. Flashing lights are permitted but cyclists riding in areas without street lighting should use a steady front lamp instead.

      I am aware. You didn’t read my post properly: I was pointing out that people can wear whatever clothes they feel comfortable in. And that a moped isn’t a bicycle.

      Earl A…… You are misinformed. There is a legal obligation for cyclists to have front and rear lights. Rule 60 of The Highway Code

      Angelina, I think you have identified a genuine issue and I have noted similar. If cycling, in its various forms, continues to grow then I think safety education will have to somehow be addressed.
