Dear all,


A space has become available for the group antenatal course for first time parents due to start on June 5th (a couple is moving out of London before baby's arrival), so if you are expecting end of July/ August and thinking to sign up for a course to know more about labour, birth, early weeks with your baby and to get to know other local couples expecting around your dates, then feel free to get in touch with me for an informal chat at 07598 293 625 or email me on [email protected]


If you want to check my website for further details: www.ariadnasole.com


You can find comments from other couples who have attended the course: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?25,1238496,1238496#msg-1238496 or http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?25,1032714,1082078#msg-1082078


I look forward to hearing from you and enjoy your lovely bumps,


Ariadna

On the off chance that anyone thought they'd left it too late to do a hypnobirthing course, one spot has become available on my Wednesday evening group course which kicks off next Wednesday and runs for 4 weeks, from 8.00-10.30pm in East Dulwich. ?285 per couple, and you'll get all the tools you need for a truly calm, comfortable and enjoyable birth. More information available at http://www.londonhypnobirthing.co.uk x
Hi Manuela, We didn't end up meeting this weekend but we tend to communicate via what's app now as it's easeier than the forum...Anna one of the girls in the group kindly set up a what's app group so if you pm me your number I can ask her to add you to it so you can come along to the next meet up.

Hello ladies,


I have been out of the loop for a while! I have missed all of the get togethers as I had to be in hospital for a few weeks before and after my baby was born. My baby came a bit early and I am still settling at home but would love to meet you at some point. I will try to check this site regularly now and see if I can make it to some get togethers.


Hope to meet you soon!

Hi there all


The group's been a bit quiet of late - mainly due to people having their babies but also onset of NCT I think! Anyway, please PM me and I'll organise you to be added to the What's App group and I'll try to post on here when there's another meet up. Nothing planned at the moment but no reason why one shouldn't be!

Hi everyone, apologies for gatecrashing. I just wanted to let you know that this coming Thursday 26th, I will be hosting June's "ED Birthtalk" (this is the East Dulwich Positive birth group). It will be from 10am-12midday and everyone interested in exploring how to think about birth in a more positive way is welcome. It's held at my house in ED, so is walking distance for most, and babies/toddlers/children are very welcome. I will provide tea/coffee/soft drinks/biscuits etc.etc. and you just bring yourselves, your positive attitude and interest in all things birth related (and a packet of biccies if you want to contribute).


The theme this month is "Choice in Birth", which should make for interesting discussion. Did you feel you had/have a choice regarding the birth of your baby? When you're in the midst of labour and things aren't going to plan did you still feel you had choices? Can informed choice ever be a reality - if so, how far? How much knowledge do you need to be 'informed'? How are choices presented to you in the UK maternity system? Were your choices respected? If you're a maternity professional, how far are the choices you can offer women dictated by the needs of the system, rather than the needs/wishes of the women? I think this one may run and run!! :D


Please PM me for the address, otherwise I'll look forward to seeing any you who are interested and can make it on Thursday morning.


Sorry again, as you were!

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068. 
    • Colin.    One for the old school.   Just saying.
    • Signed, and I will share it elsewhere, thank you for posting this. It's got nearly 70,000 signatures at present, and apparently runs till February.
