Another great meet up today, thanks for organising! I thought it might be useful to have a Facebook group to keep track of names and faces, and to help with organising events etc - seems to be quite a common thing to do among pregnant ladies... You can set the privacy settings so that it's not visible on feeds etc and obviously would continue to post on here for those who aren't signed-up. If you'e interested then PM me a link to your FB page and I'll add you to the group, and I'll post a link to the group once it's set up (it won't let me set up a group until I've got people to add!).

Hi again


People seem keen so I've now set up the group. The link is here: https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/528470860551292/ (Autumn Babies Club 2013).


I think the simpliest way to join is just to request to join the group (I've set the settings to closed rather than secret so that this is possible). Otherwise, it looks like I can only add people if I'm friends with them.


Let me know if you're having any difficulties (my first attempt at setting up a FB group, so bear with me!)

Unfortunately couldn't make it - had been asked to go for a growth scan as fundal height was 5cm too small, so was a bit twitched and paranoid that I would be comparing my bump too much. Had the scan today and if anything, the baby is on the bigger side, lol!

I'm tall so I just carry it differently. Phew!

Have requested to join the FB group as I'd still like to meet to meet up at some point! Time is certainly ticking on with the pregnancy!

Hi all, just a very quick note to say that due to an early baby arriving I have a place that's become available on my four week HypnoBirthing course starting this Wednesday evening, 8.00-10.30pm near East Dulwich station. If you are interested in this place please email me on [email protected] ASAP and I will be able to give you a good discount due to the course's imminent start date.


Warm wishes to all, and all the best to everyone for a calm and comfortable birth.

There are a couple of meet ups planned in the next few weeks on the facebook group if anyone is off/already on maternity leave -


Friday 23rd August - 1400 - at Le Chandelier, East Dulwich

Wednesday 28th August - 1400 - Bambuni, Nunhead


Look forward to seeing anyone who can make them.

Hope to be able to attend one of these - the 23rd will be after a night shift, and the 28th before! Bring on mat leave (8 shifts and counting).


Is anyone else experiencing third trimester nausea? Am a seriously miserable, fatigued bunny right now!

Hello!! I've just seen this group and have hopefully just managed to join the facebook group... (or sent a request to at least!)


I'm expecting my first baby at the end of October, planning to work until due date but I'll work from home for the last 3 weeks so just 6 weeks (and a bit) left in the office. I might be able to make meetups during the working from home period?!?


I'm in HOP, is there anyone else based in SE23?


stacker285, I didn't get nausea in the first trimester and don't have it now in the third, but I do feel more tired (although not as tired as the first month or so) and I have terrible heartburn! So I feel your pain!

oh god - 3rd trimester sickness has just begun for me - it's horrible. I bought some Gaviscon tablets and they seem to be helping - i swear i don't remember reading about this! As soon as I hit the 3rd trimester I swear it's like all the energy and life drained out of me!
I'm afraid I am now lovingly calling my bump my 'energy sucking parasite', bless it. I niavely thought that tiredness mothers in late pregnancy felt was down to carrying the extra weight, but I feel fine from that perspective - the baby is just laying down fat. Wish it would be a bit more discerning where it takes it from tho, I have a few areas that would benefit from being harvested ;-)
Hi, I've also just seen this group and have sent a request to join the Facebook group. I'm due 2nd Oct - 2nd baby (first is 2.5 - she's at nursery in Peckham Rye). We've just moved to Brockley/Nunhead area, so would love to meet some local mums! Last week of work next Friday - can't wait as it is knackering the second time round!! Looking forward to meeting some of you :)

Hi Fellow Autumn Mums-to-be,


Posted a while back in the classified section, but not had much interest - am having a baby boy in Nov so have bundles of clothes my daughter had available to anyone interested.


Here's the original thread:


http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?25,1154974,1154974#msg-1154974


The green duffle coat has now gone & happy to take ?5 a bundle. My daughter was a September baby so were all good for this time of year.


Thanks x

Hi everyone

Another late joiner to the group, if that's ok. I can't make the 28th meet, but will look out for future meets, & the chance to connect with you all. I'm due October 17th with our first baby. We're (ex east dulwich)in Crofton Park, Se4 - so poss not too far from you, tinyem & others who are more towards Brockley/nunhead. Going to put a request in to the Facebook group too...

Hey there,


Miranda - we met recently at the oak wood meet the midwives talk. Thanks so much for telling me about this and the FB group. I was hoping to make it along for the Wednesday catch up in nunhead this week but have just realised I have yogA at that time.


I'm due 14th September and late to this group but would love to meet up with other mums to be in the area for tea, cakes ice cream etc :) Hope all you other mums to be are keeping well. I'll keep a look out for the next meet up date.


Hopefully see you soon.

Hi all


Drove past Bambuni yesterday and saw they're closed for summer hols til next week. I'm not in the Facebook group so maybe an alternative meet up has been agreed already? I'd be keen to meet somewhere toddler friendly so can bring my two year old.


Hope you're all feeling ok. I'm 38 weeks today so hopefully on the final stretch...

Hello forum peeps - Just organised an FBook evening pub meet up at The Rye Pub, Peckham Rye on Wed 4th Sept from 6.30pm for those late autumn bumps still working and anyone else who fancies it.

I have booked table but will try and get there a little early to nab an outside table.

See you there. Priya

Hi second time bumps. I hope you don't mind me posting on this thread, for some reason I seem to be on it from a while ago and thought you might be interested to know that we are running an antenatal class especially designed for second time parents. For September, we only have two places left and so far we have mums (and some dads) attending from East Dulwich and Crystal Palace. The course has been developed by our Neo Practice parenting experts and with input from lots of second time parents. You'll get expert advice on managing life with a newborn and a toddler, managing sibling rivalry, preparing your older child for the big changes ahead - and meet lovely local second time parents-to-be. It's run over 3 evenings in Crystal Palace, led by a very experienced midwife. For more information and bookings, please visit us at www.theneopractice.com or email [email protected]. We also have a one day Welcoming Baby Number Two course in East Dulwich that is being finalised in the next week or two. This will take place just off Lordship Lane and will likely be in November. Use voucher code EDF for 10% off course prices. Hope you can join us! Suze

Hi, I'd love to join your gang and come to one of your meet ups. I'm due to have baby number 2 in mid October and am a little worried about being billy no mates without my NCT group this time around. I'm still at work at the moment but will try to make the evening catch up on 4th September if my husband can get home from work to take on parenting duties. Otherwise, looking forward to meeting up once mat leave starts.


Is there a link for the FB group?

Wondered if everyone was aware of the whooping cough (pertussis) vaccine, which is recommended from 28-38 weeks pregnant. I've had mine and it was fine. Protects me and baby. Tops tetanus for ten years too!

See you ladies on Wed.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
