Hi - have you tried going into the Feb 09 antenatal club and asking there?

I did have a go, but couldn't even find my own post after. ..bit rubbish at this, will try again!

The NCT is obviously very good for finding local people, but you usually don't meet your NCT group until a bit later on in the pregnancy.

Also have you tried your Mumsnet local board - you put your postcode in and it allocates you. I know there is one for Richmond, not sure if there would be one for Marylebone specifically or a wider section of London. Somewhere on mumsnet (I think it is in the Mumsnet Local) there is also a 'meet a mum' section.

Another useful site is Netmums which has local information and listings. (Not sure if I am supposed to mention that on here as it's no doubt a rival to Mumsnet)

Hi there - Im due in Jan 09 and live in Bayswater, 15 mins walk from Marylebone! Congrats

skiingone · 19/09/2008 10:54

Hi there, I'm 32 ,due wih my first in the beginning of April and live in Marylebone! I guess you'll be slightly in advance and I could get all the advance tips! Also had problems finding anyone else pregnant in my area.

Hi, Due early March 09 with second daughter. Live Bayswater.
Last time, when living in Maida Vale, had to go right down to Fulham for NCT classes.

Hi Beetle73- bit of a hijack- any news for me on this thread? www.mumsnet.com/Talk/2402/564292

Sososnoop - check out local pregnancy yoga and pilates classes in Marylebone (am sure there must be some around there) - great place to meet local mums to be. Am a bit further out (Queens Park) but due late Feb 09, though am a second timer so no need to do NCT again... NCT tends to get booked out ridiculously early - think nearest for you is Covent Garden or Notting Hill. Other things to look out for are breastfeeding support groups (if you're intending to breastfeed) - your midwife should be able to point you in the right direction.

Thanks for the help, and hello skiingone, beetle73, and s.o.everything, good to know there are some other people around! have ended up signing up for antenatal classes at the portland, almost same price as NCT and just round the corner!

I'll be doing these antenatal classes as well as it's around the corner from me too ( 5 min walk). Haven's signed up yet thought. Have my NT scan and blood tests tomorrow, will start taking it seriously after this.

Hi Skiing one - hope your scans/tests went well, pleased to find someone else at Portland classes, but shame will be after me!

I just joind Mumsnet and am also looking for new mums in Marleybone. I'm due Nov 24th and we're delivering at the Portland. Met a few couples in our classes, but none of them are in the neighbourhood. Would be great to meet some locals.

not due until feb but also at the portland, starting classes there Nov 12th do we cross over at all?

skiingone · 23/10/2008 15:16

I think Marylebone coffee catch up should be organisd regardless of when we are all due.

Patisserie Valerie on Thursday would be great! What time suits you?
Sarsa08 - will you be aroud to join us?

elkiedee · 24/10/2008 20:15

Feb 09 has a number of other people in London, don't know about anyone in your area. I think my antenatal thread Jan 09 has someone who's nearest hospital is St Mary's, presumably she's near you somewhere. And try Mumsnet Local for Westminster.

3pm is a great time for tea and cake!
I guess I'll recognise you by the bump? See you outside Patisserie Valerie on High Street on Thursday.

Joanna78 · 04/12/2008 10:27

Hi, I live in Marylebone and am expecting my first baby 02/02/09. I would love to meet up!

skiingone · 05/12/2008 10:51

Hi Joanna,

I've posted on another thread where there is another girl who lives in Marylebone and wants to catch up.
Will see if can get sososnoop to come along, but we can gefinitely organise a coffe/ cake Marylebone catch up and have 3-4 girls there.

Hi, I am slowly figuring out this messaging thing! I am the other one in Marylebone... keep me posted as I would love to meet up on the high street. It will be nice to make friends I don't have to pretend-drink wine with!

(I'm expecting my first in June at Portland Hosp.)

slim22 · 08/12/2008 00:06

Hi

Had DS 5 years ago whilst living in Marylebone. I did my classes in Notting hill so no use here.

What I suggest is the pregnancy yoga at tryoga in primrose hill. There are at least 4 pregnancy classes a week. They are very popular and a great meeting place as they have a little cafe. The classes are usually followed by mummy and baby classes so a great place to mingle with like minded people!

Easy access with bus 274 along Gloucester place - through blandford street or paddington/york street.

maggy22 · 08/12/2008 16:35

Hi,

I'm also pregnant with my first baby and live in Marylebone ! He/she is due in March.

I would recommend yoga classes at the Portland Hospital - I'm not booked in there for care, but they are more easy to get to for me in the week than Triyoga - although i am going to give that a go too !

Would also be up for meeting up with you other ladies at some point !!
