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.

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?


F x

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?


Sx

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?

Actually not too bad! Been nauseous for a couple of days or so only, though definitely lost my appetite for a while. On the other hand spots are killing me :D feel like a teenager.


They say - week 16 shiny hair and glowing skin .. Hmmmm :) still waiting!

    • Hello. Would you like a sofa bed? We have one to give away…photos attached. The scatter cushions are not included.
    • Complaint submitted.  Your helpful link took me straight to the relevant page. 🙏
    • I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience    
    • Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
