Many thanks,

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

Hey all. I'm due in Aug... when's the next gathering?

[AnneBowers]

Shall we do 1st Sunday again? June 1?

[IQ]

I can't do 1st June as I'm at a wedding in Scotland. I was sorry to have missed the last gathering and hope you all had a lovely time and are keeping well.

Maybe we could have another mid week dinner soon?

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

Won't be able to make June 1st either as its my anniversary, so will be spending some quality time together on Sunday.

Have fun if you do have a get together! x

Hello,

I have been following the forum for some time and wanted to come to the gathering today but must have missed it. I assume it was in the morning ....or what time is it?

Manuela

[Manu]

Sorry forgot to add that I would also be interested in a mid week gathering in case there was no meeting today. Can do all days except Wednesday as this is my NCT class day.

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.

[Amanda1979]

Hi everyone, I have only just found this thread.... I am due 28 August with our first baby... life is pretty hectic at the moment but it would be great to keep in touch and hopefully make a meet up!

Hi Amanda

We have a What's App group and so if you pm me your number I can get you added to it. Next meet up is planned for Tuesday evening (10 June) if you're free?

Kate

[Amanda1979]

Thanks Kate!

I don't have "what's app" but also not available next Tuesday :-(

Maybe next time..... once you decide on a date/time/venue could it be posted here too?

[Bright_Star]

Yes of course! There may be another meet up planned this weekend so I'll try to remember to post details on here as well once the plan is clearer.

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, I'm interested in joining the group, I'm expecting my first in about three weeks. Do you have a regular meeting time, or a next meeting planned, as I looks like I just missed one yesterday?!

Giuli

[Bright_Star]

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!

P.s. Did I mention that it's free?
