I know I super scared but excited at the same time.


Been feeling pretty shit if I'm honest and I have a huge belly already :(


I actually live in Peckham but I spend a lot of time with my mum who is on under hill road so I'm always in the area xx


How are you finding things? X

It is bizarre enough getting your head 'round having one in there... let alone twins!


Don't worry - I'm stretching the 'area' thing too as I'm nearer to Honor Oak, but spend lots of time in East Dulwich (and Peckham!).


I am still struggling to believe it's actually happening. Can only really see forward to the week ahead and the day my week changes, can't imagine giving birth, buying anything for the baby or that I will actually have a baby come September!!!


Will be 16 weeks tomorrow.

Although I had some nausea in my other pregnancies it was nothing compared to how rotten I've felt this time. I've been absolutely exhausted as well, no energy for anything. I'm hoping now I'm in the second trimester that I'll be re-energised again. Mine are 2.5 and 5.


Are you glowing now you are 16 weeks? I'm 14 weeks this week - I live in hope!

Hmmmmm... I'm not sure I'd say glowing exactly, but definitely look a bit more human! I couldn't believe how cr*p I looked before - really spotty, skin lost all its lustre. So yes, feeling back to myself and I hope you start to feel a bit better too.


My main issue is trying to control my anxiety. Just keep getting an annoying voice in my head somewhere saying "something is bound to go wrong" and it's horrible... means I'm counting each week, but struggle to see far beyond that.

The anxiety is awful, there's always something to stress about isn't there. You'll be 20 weeks before you know it though. Enjoy each little milestone. I know it's all easier said than down though! I'm the worst worrier X

Hello, ladies!


I'm so excited to have found this group :) I'm a first timer due 27th August living near Goose Green.


Feeling really good in general but like sdow687 I do worry a lot. We didn't have a good experience with our 12 week scan and ended up in the hellish two week wait for Harmony test results to come through. Everything's fine but I know I'm going to start freaking out soon, with the next scan only a few weeks away...


Is everyone here at King's for the birth?

Hello :)


Yep, at King's too.


It's funny isn't it - you feel reassured for about a week after the scans, then go back to fretting. Sorry you had loads of stress and a long wait after yours.


I'm feeling a bit more human now. Looked like cr*p in the first 12 weeks!


Nice Easter weekend plans?

Ahh, thank you, S! Actually had a midwife appointment today and got to hear baby's heartbeat so I'm feeling loads calmer :)


King's is great but we kind of felt like we were just research samples on a conveyor belt at our scan. Hope you ladies had a better experience.


Got lovely Easter plans that include first ever baby shopping! Well, window shopping but still :) How about you?

Hi guys,

I'm just joining this group, due mid October with my second child. Live in Peckham, so not quite an ED local...

I've been feeling horrid since before my positive test, had nausea for 16 weeks last time, but it seems to be giving way a little now. Still pretty tired though... Anyone else who needs naps most days?

For any first timers - we have a group on Facebook - South East London first time mums. Look it up.


Deffo do have more energy now. For first 12 weeks I was asleep by 9pm every night.


Skin does clear up - promise.


Latest fun symptom is puffy ankles!

      Latest One Dulwich update

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      I am faintly amused by the cries of horror when the overtly political actions of Southwark Council Labour (their car hatred does after all form part of their manifesto) is countered by what might possibly be political action of others (although there is some evidence to support it being a groundswell of purely local and not party-affiliated activity). Who is behind Southwark Labour party one might ask - is it Militant Trotskyites? From where are they being funded? The Kremlin, Beijing?

      Ha ha, some people really don't like an opinion that differs to theirs do they! Bravo One Dulwich - you're magnificently rattling the cages of people who don't want to hear a differing opinion and the fact they get so irate about it is the icing on the cake! Some spend so much emotional energy trying to convince themselves One Dulwich is some shadowy, agitator state-funded lobby group when all they are is a group of local residents giving a voice to the majority of residents impacted by the measures.

      @Earl, Be assured, it is purely a local group. In fact it is a genteel group of Dulwich area residents, mostly ladies , who are a little  reluctant to publish their individual names as they do not wish to be targets for hostility from internet trolls. Local residents who attended the anti-LTN gatherings in Dulwich would have easily recognised the active members of the group. Should you have any queries about funding, it is quite easy to send them an email.

      Hi  I have a spare old wheelbarrow that you could have for free. You’d need to come and collect it from Telegraph Hill, so drop me a message if you’re still looking and we can arrange a time best wishes carrie
