Hi there,


Kings hold twice monthly drop-in sessions held on the first and third Tuesday of the month. You just meet at the Nightingale Birth Centre reception desk at 6.30pm. No need to book. I found this helpful as could ask questions and look at the rooms. I think there are 4 pools.


I thought about having a waterbirth but wasn't desperate for that to be my only option which was good as when it came to it, the pool was available but the pump wasn't working. (This was 3 years ago though!)


Good luck 😊

I wanted a waterbirth two years ago at Kings (before the Midwife Led unit was open), I got the last available labour room and the room with a pool was already in use, but they also have a blow up pool which they said I could use. Annoyingly they couldn't find a crucial part (I actually never felt sure I believed them because they also announced out of the blue I wouldn't be able to use the pool becuase I had once, as a teenager, had fainting episodes, something which no midwife or consultant had blinked an eye at before...but I guess I'm sceptical about whether the pool really was out of order or they didn't want me in it).

However, there was a bath and I was happy enough spending hours in the bath. So it was fine. Good luck!

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
