Hi,

My name is Margaret, I am a birth and postnatal doula.

As a birth doula, we will meet up two or three times before your baby is born to talk through your options and help you write your birth preference. After the last visit at around 37-38 weeks, I will be on call 24/7 until your baby is born. I will then accompany you to the hospital or during your homebirth, and will stay with you to offer continuous support throughout your labour and the birth of your baby. And I will come back for one more visit to see how you're getting on, when your baby is about 5-7 days old.

A postnatal doula's role is to make the early days weeks and months with your new baby a little easier. I will help you care for your baby, do light housework such as dishes and laundry, I'll make sure that the bathroom is kept clean and will change your bed regularly. I can help with breastfeeding, babywearing and car safety. And perhaps most importantly, I will look after your baby so that you can sleep or take a shower. And of course I'm here to talk through any questions or worries you may have.

I am currently working with a family in East Dulwich as a postnatal doula, but as their baby gets older my hours with them will reduce, so from August onwards I will have more availability.

Please get in touch if you'd like to know more, I look forward to hearing from you!

      Post Office Lordship Lane is Broken

      And no queues at 1130 yesterday. Maybe everyone's had enough and switched to the Yodel and Evri app.

      Dancersize or other middle aged womens' exercise groups

      By Slinkissimo · Posted

      Hi there guys, I hope you're well.  I've recently done a term of Dance Yourself Fit, which began with a class at the Harris Girls Academy on the Nunhead side of the Rye, then transferred to the Charter School for Girls up by the old ED hospital. It's been so good and all the women attending have loved it too, but due to exams being on next term the classes are being discontinued in East Dulwich, much to our disappointment. They're moving them to Streatham, but that is not convenient for me and many of the others. This is a link to their site in case anyone is interested though: https://www.danceyourselffit.com I'm now looking for a replacement class that's not too expensive, keeps me moving energetically for an hour and is local and hopefully less than a tenner per lesson (this was about £72 for 8 classes I think?). Does anyone know of anything? I'm also looking for low-cost pilates classes to join too, if anyone has any recommendations for those too? Very best,  Eleanor  Also, just to add, what's been so nice is that it HASN'T been in a gym with lots of lively young lithe gazelle like creatures hopping about. It's been extremely inclusive for women of all sizes and shapes and really nice that it's been in schools not gyms. Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed!

      Niko 07818 607583 as a good local plumber

      I'd also like to highly recommend Niko. He just replaced the extraction fan in our bathroom, having previously installed a new tap for us. Fast, professional and a really great guy.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Agree with this. He's stood down from his role in Cabinet having left the Party, but he was elected as a representative of all the constituents in his ward and logic suggests that he should continue to represent them as a councillor for his remaining 3 months. He might wish to stand again, as a Green, in that ward (if he's chosen) and hope that personal loyalty to him might transfer, but that's now the call of his (new) party and him. He will have to balance that with a view about how many of his Labour supporters will feel sufficiently betrayed to continue to support Labour. I suspect, I may be wrong, that he will not have a cabinet position open to him after May (unless the Greens sweep in locally) so presumably he will have to consider his next career move, and whether that's back to full-time primary teaching.
