Hi, I'm expecting my first at the start of May. Is there anyone else out there? Would be lovely to chat to other first timers due around the same time or hear from those with experience! I'm very excited but feel a bit like I have no idea what's coming - no matter how much I prepare!!

Hello

I'm also expecting my first, due second week of May. It's been a very long road to get here, with some heartache along the way so we're cautiously over-the-moon and still can't believe it's real. Despite wanting to start a family for many years, I also feel a bit clueless but the benefit of having a baby after all my friends have had their children is that they can share their wisdom - and pass on their hand-me-downs!

Looking forward to chatting with you Red Pebble and anyone else who joins the thread!

Hi All


I'm expecting my second child at the beginning of May and it would be lovely to meet up with others going through the same thing. Although I'm not a first timer I can't seem to remember much of it, so in definite need of a recap and some moral support!


Look forward to hearing from other mums to be.

Hi Everyone!


I'm slowly growing a bump which is making it feel a lot more real but eagerly anticipating feeling baby's first movement - think that will be the reality check! Is your baby moving around yet Louise?


How organised are you all? I've kind of set myself the mental milestone of Christmas to not be too baby focused but from January, I'll start scaring myself with all the checklists and to do lists.


Unlike you Kaz, I'm the first of my friends to have a baby so feel free to share their wisdom. I have a friend at work who is due in March so she's been filling me in on what I might expect a few months down the line :-)

Hey ladies,


I'm a 2nd timer due mid-May (1st will only be 22 months when 2nd arrives, eek!!) ;)

Happy to share experiences from last time and looking forward to meeting a new bunch of ED mums-to-be.

We could leave it a bit til we have a few more people then maybe arrange a meetup? I was in one of these groups last time and our first meetup had 22 ladies and bumps!


Ginny

Hi everyone,


Second timer here as well. Due 2nd March...only 19 months between them...God help us! Looks like I'll be one of the first to pop...my son was 3 days early!


Missed out on all the mummy catch ups last time, as life was pretty manic then. All is hopefully settling now and look forward to meeting new faces and getting into the swing of things, this time round!

Hi - hope everyone is well!

We could maybe organise a meet-up for mid January so all the festive madness is out of the way, we should have a few more ladies in the gang & hopefully everyone will have nice obvious bumps by then (I still just look like I've had too much to eat)!

Hey all,

Lucy that's me entirely! I look 6 months gone every evening! Crazy isn't it.

Kaz, January is a great idea re meet up. We can see nearer the time where might work but to throw it out there the EDT was great hosting a load of ladies and bumps last year and they don't charge for soda and lime!

Hi everyone

I'm expecting my second late April and I can't wait. My son will be 3 by then and can't wait for his 'baby sister' to arrive (we don't know what we're having, but he's adamant!)

It'll be lovely to meet up, I think January is a great idea. I was in the Spring Babies group for my first and it was fab - for keeping me sane and entertained on mat leave, and we made some great friends.

Jo

Hi everyone


Congratulations on the impending arrivals. My second is due April 19 when my little girl will be about 22 months. I'd love to meet some other mums in the area, especially ones on the second baby (no offence intended to first timers who I would love to meet too) as I can see it will be useful to have other kids for the older ones to play with (or just stare at as my little one mostly does) whilst we drown ourselves in coffee to get through the day!


Look forward to meeting you all in January.


Emily

Evening all,

My second is due 14th May when my daughter will be 2yrs 1 month. Would love to meet you all and get some tips (or sympathy!) for when I'm drowning in nappies in the midst of a toddler tantrum, and some buddies for sunny park days. Made some great friends via the forum the first time round so I look forward to meeting you all in January too and in the meantime I hope you all have fun and relaxing Christmas holidays.

Hi all,


I am also a second timer, my first will be nearly 22 months when I am due the 9th May. Would love to meet up with you all (especially second timers) as not sure how I will manage half hour breastfeeds with a toddler who wont sit still for 10 mins! I met a few local mums last time through the forum but since going back to work full time, its been hard to fit it all in. Will keep in touch via this page and hope to make the meet up in January.


Philippa

Hi,


I'm another second timer and am also due April 19th, when my little girl will be almost 2. Last time I was too nervous something was going to go wrong to join any groups, but I'm feeling more confident this time around and look forward to meeting you in January!


Eleanor

Yay! So pleased there are loads of takers for a January meet-up. Will be nice to have something to look forward to after the excitement of Christmas is over.


Is anyone booking into antenatal classes? I'm investigating refresher courses at the moment as sure as I've forgotten everything from first time round - eek! also looking at hypnobirthing classes if anyone has any recommendations.

Hello,

Congratulations everyone, I'm also expecting my second at the end of March when my son will be 2 and a half.

Would be great to meet some local mums who will have babies around the same time, and espcially those that will also have a toddler in tow.

Look forawrd to a January meet up.

Hi Everyone,


I'm expecting my first baby mid-May. From the above, it sounds like we've a good mix of people who are looking forward to baby no. 2 making an appearance next Spring along with a handful of first-timers like me!


I'm sure that January will be here before we know it. Do you think a meet up one evening (?) of the week starting 19th January might work? Ginny suggested the EDT which might work. I'll leave it to a second time Mum to propose a reasonable time and / or day that might be convenient for us.


Really looking forward to meeting you all. In the meantime, enjoy this special Christmas and see you in 2015 S x

Hey, so pleased to see so many Mums / Mums-to-be on here already!!


I am due 5th April and my daughter will be 21 months. It sounds like there are a few of us with similar age toddlers so looking forward to sharing our experiences.


Love to meet up. Taking the ideas from Ginster and Sayroo, what about meeting in the EDT from 7pm on Wednesday 21st January?

    • 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". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
