Blackheath, London mums and mums-to-be

Hi there, I am moving to Blackheath village with my husband and due in late November.

We don’t know anyone so I would love to meet some new or expecting mums!! Maybe for a coffee or anything else

I signed up to HappyParentHappyBaby classes (better than Bump and Baby?) already

Hoping to avoid the loneliness and solitary winter life indoors! So reach out if you’re in the same boat

After a long read online and loads of bad reviews about Queen Elizabeth Hospital, I decided to go ahead with Lewisham Hospital instead and I’ve been really disappointed so far. My midwife appointments are at Lee Health Centre. I haven’t seen the same person twice; my appointment today was 30min late and then I was rushed through feeling uncomfortable to ask any questions. For my 20 week scan in Lewisham hospital one of screens was broken so I ended up not seeing anything myself and the person doing the scan was quiet, made me feel uncomfortable because baby was not cooperating so he was losing patience trying to see details. Is this a normal experience on NHS or am I unlucky? Would I be better off switching hospitals? I’m on week 24 so have time to reconsider. What would you recommend? I’m based around Blackheath village and we have a car so we are able to travel further out as well..as long as I feel like I do have some more support as currently it just feels rough.

I’m a new mum , my baby Leo he is 10 weeks old , I’m looking for a mum soulmates 😀 keen to catch up over a walk or coffee… I have also french bulldog Jerry who loves Leo very much 😀 and he walks with us everywhere…

I hope this is ok and I’m not being spammy…. I’ve set up a newborn support group at the Age Exchange on a Tuesday 2.30-3.30. Please come along if you have newborn questions (or older babies - my toddler comes along) or need some help and support. Any questions let me know!
