Hello I'm expecting my second in July...eek! anyone else due in the summer?

[petra_29]

Me! Hello. I'm due at the end of May so feeling quite far behind the ladies in the March/April/May board. Looking forward to seeing more local mums and mums to be on this board.

Hello I'm expecting my second in June. Does anyone fancy meeting up once a few more people join up?

Sophie

[petra_29]

Definitely up for a meet-up

[pinkglitter]

Definitely! Sophie how old's your first? Mine's just 1... keep wondering how the logistics of 2 will work...! x

Hi Everyone,

My first baby is due in June and I'd be keen to get to know other mums and expectant mums that live locally.

Hi,

My second is due at the end of June, my first will be 2 & a half by then but still wondering how people manage with 2!

I'd love to meet up too.

Sounds like a meet up is definitely on the cards then! My first with be 2 and a quarter by the time the second comes along so not really old enough to fully understand what is going on.

i am due 31 may with my first and also feeling a little behind the ladies in the March/April/May board. i'm american and have been in london for over 4 years now so it would be great to meet up with others in the area since i'm so far away from my family.

Well, I think someone should get the ball rolling.

What kinds of day/time is most suitable for people?

I am around evenings and weekends and happy to meet up in ED (Lordship Lane?) after work or for a coffee one Saturday or Sunday.

I'm clear this coming weekend if it's not too short notice???

Anna

[Yellow99]

Good work Petra!

A coffee at the weekend is probably the best plan. I could do either Sunday this week or Saturday next if either of those work for people...

[jessrm]

Love how the group has grown so quickly. I can do this weekend or most nights next week.

Hello Summer baby Mums & Dads, I'm gatecrashing over here, but I hope you'l forgive me. I'm just popping in to let you know that ED's newly formed 'Positive Birth Group' is meeting this Thursday evening 7-9pm. Tea, biscuits and conversation provided. If you are interested in an antidote to the media presentations of birth, or just want to chat about what you've heard/seen/know please feel free to come along. Everyone welcome.

Please PM me me venue details.

Thankyou,

SW x

P.S. For clarification: 'Positive' is to do with an approach, not to do with 'natural'. It could mean a positive elective caesarean or highly medicalised birth, just as much a whale music/water birth. :D

Weekends are best for me for now .... I'm not free this weekend but am on 19th and then generally around weekends after that. Can always just join you on second meet-up if that's better! x

[petra_29]

I'm not around the 19th (or two following weekends), so am tempted to suggest we meet this weekend with more people meeting up in future.

Sunday (12th) about 11? Maybe le Chandelier?

Anna

[Yellow99]

That sounds good to me. Once we have an idea of numbers, shall i try and book a table?

[jessrm]

Sounds good. Although could we meet slightly earlier, say 10.30? J

[Tworler]

I can make this Sunday too, 11 at le Chandelier sounds good to me. I'll leave my son at home with his Dad.

Emma

[petra_29]

Great. We can say 10.30 (I may be a little late). Good idea re booking the table Yellow.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Anna

[jessrm]

Looks like 11 is the preferred time so see you there. Thx for booking a table

[missyelliott]

Hi ladies. I am also expecting my second mid July. My first with be almost 2 by then. Would love to join you for coffee on Sunday
