Hi there, I'm expecting twins in June (lest they come earlier!) - first time mum. I don't know many people in UK as I'm from Australia. Would love to meet other mums-to-be locally to share experiences and for general support :-) If you happen to be interested in meeting-up do let me know please! Anna
Congratulations Anna. Check out the Summer Babies 2013 thread on here. We met up last month and there is another night out planned for next week I think. Lots of Mums due around that time, most of them first timers. I am having twins in July. I think there are already 4 of us expecting twins so you could make it 5.

Hi both, many congratulations! As dad to four year old twin boys I can thoroughly recommend having twins!


If you haven't looked into it already do check out the Dulwich & District Twins Club, there are lots of meet ups and a helpful expectant parents book on the club website: http://ddtwinsclub.org/new/expectant-parents-pack/.


You can also keep up with club events via twitter by following @ddtwinsclub, look out for the nearly new sale next Saturday (16 March).

Daniel B - congratulations! Im no expert but Ive been looking for a birth doula and noticed that many doulas also provide postnatal services that include cooking, laundry, support etc. The http://doula.org.uk/ website has been useful. We've also employed a domestic cleaner who has started to come once in a fortnight so that we get comfortable with each other before the babies arrive.... If I was going back to work I think I'd be looking into au pairs/nannies/night nurses... 'Double Trouble - Twins and How to Survive Them' mentions other options such as nanny share, nanny trainees, and live-in student help. lots of options to explore :-)

Congratulations!


We are members of Dulwich twin club and I definitely recommend joining. They organise a Baby and Toddler meet up a couple of Tuesdays a month at a church hall at the top of Red Post Hill (separate baby area and volunteers running the group - all for multiples). From April, we will start to meet up in Peckham Rye again on every other Friday (sometimes more often) in the enclosed picnic area. These will run throughout the summer. Expectant mothers (and fathers!) welcome to join too.


The twin club also do multiple ante-natal talks at King's College Hospital. And - there is the Nearly New Sale next Saturday. Plenty of bargains to be had. Have a look at the website as suggested by RobMiller above.


Also - Ivydale children centre run a multiples group every Thursday morning. Staff very helpful when you need an extra hand and will help you bring in / out children to buggy or car.

    • For clarity,  since the heat seems to be getting to people - my friends in Hampshire, Essex, Cornwall tell me that the same insanity is happening there - probably in other counties to! I have in the past seen adults walking last year with  young children with no hat or to the best of my knowledge suns-cream on and idiots in Dulwich Park allowing their children or who knows maybe it is the au pair or nanny taking the kids to the park when it is over 30 degrees.. I rest my case - doesn’t matter if you have 4 feet or 2 - 4 feet suffer more as generally have a coat and no protection on their feet / 2 feet at least have foot protection. Like I said, I am just joining  the conversation - everyone has a right to their own opinion.
    • I don't think it's just dog-owners who are half-wits. An actual human has taken a dump in a newspaper and left it lying on CP Road. Flies are having a field day. I ought to tell the council but pity the poor person sent to clean it up. 
    • In the proud spirit of stating the bleeding obvious (!) here is some more RSPCA advice re dogs in hot cars and a downloadable leaflet which contains emergency first aid for heatstroke: https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/dogs/health/dogsinhotcars https://www.rspca.org.uk/documents/1494939/7712578/Dogs In Hot Cars Leaflet.pdf/ade4c043-90ee-7091-c97f-02f047f7b4b3
    • What exactly is the point of having a go at someone who is trying to help and spread useful information? Is the heat getting to people? What does it matter what someone calls dogs?
