Hi Mums to be - just a quick post to see whether anyone could be interested in attending a Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting (mbcp) workshop in the new year- towards the end of Jan?

I got interested in this approach, as an alternative to hypnobirthing, after coming upon Nancy Bardacke's book: 'Mindful Birthing'. In a nutshell mindfulness preparation is all about alertness in the present moment and learning to cope with all parts of your emotional and physical experience, rather than trying to change this. Hypnosis, on the other hand, is about learning how to deeply relax mentally and physically very often using the power of imagery to help cope/distract.

The workshop would be run over a full weekend or 2 separate weekend days and facilitated by a really wonderful midwife who trained with Nancy Bardacke herself, and who is based up North, but would be willing to make the trip to London,to teach me and others, if we can drum up enough interest. The idea is for preggos and their partners to attend together and there would be a cost for participation, yet to be determined, but similar to what it costs to attend a whole weekend hypnobirthing course.

Here are some links to more info: http://www.mindfulbirthing.org/, http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/mindful_birth/ .

Get in touch if you want to know more! Thanks so much! Jasmine

- Do you feel unsafe in London?

  I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.

  The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence. Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.

  Do you mean that there are only very few trades people and that all of their thousands of happy customers post glowing reviews but most of them have only ever posted once to recommend said trade person on the trade person's own thread? If so, I agree it's mysterious.

  Oh now you're coming over all defensive. What happened to the nice Sue, because since the early part of the year your approach seems to have changed and you've become much more challenging. No you have not broken any rules and even if you had why would I involve Admin, that's a ludicrous thing to say. Take care Sue.
