Hi Mine & Harri1
I'm in Cheshunt and have a 14 week old son. I didn't do antenatal classes and none of my local friends have kids so I'm after meeting some fellow 'daytime people'. A friend who's a mumsnetter has assured me that the mummy scene is all wine drinking and fun rather than talking about baby poo so I would love to hear from anyone in the area.

Hi Mine
I just had a quick peek at your profile and glad to see that I'm not the only one who absolutely hated motherhood at first. Like you I love it now that he's 3 months and is smiling, interacting and sleeping better, but for the first six weeks or so I would have gladly given him away to anyone who came to the door. I also have a husband who is in love with his computer games so can sympathise with your Xbox predicament.

I had Luc at the QEII in Welwyn. They gave me a choice of that, Chase Farm or Princess Alexandra in Harlow. I was really happy with the QEII although sooo glad to go home. How weird is it though to go in with a bump and walk out with a baby. I don't think I really believed during my pregnancy that it was really a baby

Glad to hear the NCT didn't get you. It sounds a bit like a cult to me, and the words coffee morning make me run a mile.

Hi thought enfield was a dead loss for mums thank goodness there are some out there.
Why don't we arrange a meet up in enfield area soon, my dd is 12 weeks.

Had mine at royal free hampstead cos I'd heard bad thongs about n.mid and c.farm.

Haringay have regular meet ups lots of like minded mums, we should def sort something out mine and vicki

there's a Starbucks in Enfield Town and also one is Cheshunt near the big M&S and tesco.

Do you guys know these...?

Vicki.. somehow i totally missed your messgae.... i defo hear you about the traumatic first 6 weeks.
I was actually really angry with my HV, midwives and doc for not telling me anything about colic.... i was driven to my wits end with colic, i too wanted to just hand the baby over but thankfully he got through it and i survived too.It truelt was the longest 6 weeks of my life.

Now he is a completely different baby.

How about we meet on Wednesday??
I'm pretty easy about times.
Just thought... do you guys bf??
If so are you happy to do it in starbucks??
