Hi there,

Having my first, due May 20th and don't know anyone in the area at all as we are new to East dulwich so would love to get to meet other mums to be!

[LucyInTheRye]

Hannah I'm quite new to ED too. Sadly I'm away that week in January but count me in for any subsequent meet ups.

Hope everyone had a good non boozy Christmas! Have made up for lack of champagne by eating lots of chocolate ;-)

[Jwinter]

Hi all

Sorry I'm late to this conversation. I'm expecting my first on 11 May and starting to show now which is making it all seem very real.

I would love to meet up with you all on 21 Jan what sort of time? I usually have to work quite late so will have to try and escape early. Roll on maternity leave!!

Hello All, I am expecting twins in April (so already have an enormous bump!) and would love to join the meet up if poss. Would be great to meet you all!

Looks like we're getting a good group together for meeting up!

I've got a reminder next week to book the EDT for the 21st so will do a rough head count then.

We can do other meetups after (evenings or maybe one at weekend) so that everyone can make it to at least one.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Hi,

Looks like there's going to be a good group of us to get together then on Wednesday 21st January at 19:00.

Venue likely to be the EDT but tbc by Ginster if that's OK?

Lucy - we will try and fix a date that will suit you in future too. Perhaps the last week in February to catch up again before these Spring babies start making an appearance?

Take care ladies and happy 2015 x

[DandySandy]

Happy new year everyone!

Sadly, looking more and more likely that I might miss the January catch up, hopefully there'll be another

before I pop...due March 3rd!

If baby does make an appearance, and I can't also make the following meet up, it would be nice to arrange a day time date at some point.

Hi ladies, and happy new year to you and your bumps.

Just wanted to pop a quick note in here saying I've had a space become available on my January hypnobirthing course. I'd be happy to offer a discount on the place to anyone who'd like it at short notice. If this interests you, please drop me a line on [email protected] and I'll be happy to help.

Wishing you all the best for calm and comforable births.

Hi,

My friend recommended this as a great way to meet other mums to be as she joined summer babies last year. My first is due May 17th. I'm very excited although a little nervous. It would be great to come along to drinks on 21st.

Hi I am due 21st may and my 2nd will be 2 and a half by then. I did Nct last time and met some lovely people but I won't be doing that this time round so it would be great to meet some other ladies in the area. Looking forward to the 21st.

[Staspah]

Hi,

I'm due 22nd April with my second, my first will be nearly 3 when baby arrives.

Looking forward to meeting everyone on the 21st.

Will be great to do meet ups with babies and toddlers in the summer.

Hi ladies, bit late to this but would love to meet up. It's going to be my 1st due end of May 2015, with no idea about anything Gx

[ehammond]

Hi all,

Count me in for the 21st too please...the pub will love us, ordering a load of soda water!

I'm due 11th March with our first baby. Getting pretty close now so it would be lovely to meet up with some locals in the same boat to catch up with on maternity leave.

Lizzie.

Great to see this thread

hey mrs blue squirrel,

ditto to not remembering much!

My first will be 12 yrs old this month, so whole previous pregnancy thing seems a LONG time ago!.... thrown almost everything away, am twice the size before and it all seems quite different!

Would love to meet some other expectant mums later this month, so will try and make the 21st! EDT also sells fentimans ginger beer which makes a zippy change from water....sigh!

Thanks for organising this mandg. x

[sdurham]

Hello! I'm expecting my second mid-May and my first will be 2yrs 3mths old. The ED group was fab first time around and looking forward to meeting some new local mums in due course!

I can't make the 21st sadly but hopefully at another meet up.

Hi! I'm expecting my second baby due at the end of April ! My first baby will be 2 when the second arrives! Am

keen to meet up with you . Will be at EDT on 21st

Hi ladies,

Right I just spoke to a lovely chap at the EDT and I've booked an area for 7pm on Weds 21st Jan under the name of Ginny (sounds like they'll cordon off a decent size space for us). I suggested at the back to the right (near the ladies(!)) as I think that has enough space. In the past the other areas we had weren't very conducive for everyone to chat other than to those either side of them or if you moved around.

I did warn him we're all expecting so not much drinking will be going on - though if it's anything like last time hopefully a few of us will eat dinner there (I plan to) so they get some money out of us and we get some food if you haven't managed an earlier dinner.

I did a quick count back (apols if I missed anyone or mis-typed a name) and of course we might have more (or less) on the day so I've booked for 20 people for now. These are the names I have, obviously those finding this thread after today are more than welcome to join too, just let us know as if it gets many more I feel I should warn them ;o)
