Hey East Dulwich


My boyfriend and I just found out that we're expecting a baby. :) This is not a planned pregnancy so we're a little shell-shocked, but obviously very excited.


I haven't even had a proper doctor's appointment yet as had to jet off for a business trip the same morning(!), but must be 2-4 weeks pregnant from the dates.


Obviously this is super early and all sorts of things can happen, but fingers crossed everything goes to plan and I would really like to start making friends in the area as this is completely new to both of us.


I'm sure this will come naturally through ante natal classes in any case, but if anyone else is in a similar position and would like a buddy to share the pregnancy experience with, or already has a baby and would like to extend their friendship group, please feel free to drop me a message.


Wishing everyone an amazing weekend!

Franki (& Tom)

Congratulations! Def join the autumn babies club when it comes up. I am part of spring babies 2012 and these ladies - and babies:) mean the world to me. Have met friends for life and you will too.

Try to get the thread active as early as possible ie arrange meet ups etc so that you get to know people in your pregnancy. Once you have established a few friendships before the little one arrives makes it sooo much easier to get out and about in the early hormonal, sleepdeprived stages.

    • Invitation to Expectant Parents: Infant Observation Are you due to give birth this September or October? Would you be interested in taking part in an Infant Observation with an NHS honorary psychotherapist?  I am an honorary psychotherapist working with adults in the NHS (Adult Complex Needs, Tavistock Clinic). I need to conduct an Infant Observation as part of my NHS training in psychodynamic psychotherapy. By taking part, you can contribute to mental health services and our understanding of human development from birth. Infant Observation is an established part of psychoanalytic training. It allows for the in-depth study of the early life and development of babies in relation to their caregiver(s) in their home environment. I am looking for expectant parent(s) who would be interested in taking part with their infant from about 6 weeks after birth, ideally beginning Oct/Nov 2025. The observation would take place for one hour each week during term time at the infant's home at the same time each week, to be agreed between myself and the caregiver(s), for the duration of 3 academic terms (roughly 9 months to 1 year). My role would be to non-intrusively observe and reflect on the infant's development and communications. The work is a requirement of my training at the Tavistock and would be supervised by a Tavistock clinician. Parents and caregivers can gain support and insight from taking part at this important and unique time in your baby's development. I work with adults in an Adult Complex Needs unit in the NHS, and at Tavistock Relationships. I have worked in a psychotherapy community for survivors of human rights violations where I helped establish a mother and baby group for refugee and asylum seeking mothers. I have a Phd in Literature & I am a contributor to the London Review of Books. I am working on my first book, a history of childhood. I am coming towards the end of my psychotherapy training having already gained a postgraduate diploma in Psychotherapy from the Tavistock NHS Clinic and University of Essex. If you would be interested in taking part with your infant, please respond to this post. With thanks, Mary Hannity
