New to MumsNet and wanted to say hello (based in Brighton/Eastbourne)

[ReallyNotAHippie]

I'm not sure if I'm a bit 'late' to be joining MumsNet as I have a 5 month old baby, but only just found out about the site due to the Brown?Cameron press it's received.

Just wanted to say hello and see if there are other Mums in my area on here. I currently live in Hove but we're (hopefully!) moving to East Dean near Eastbourne in the next month or so, so would love to hear from people near there.

Wish I'd known about the site sooner as the info on Breastfeeding would have been really helpful when I started out.

Anyway, hoping to meet some new people and hopefully offer some advice to people based on my experiences so far!

(BTW My Nickname is due to the fact I did Hypnobirthing, had a Homebirth, Breastfeed and am planning BLW. Some people seem to think that's all a bit alternative... I don't really agree!)

Hi there, welcome to MN

I live in Hove too, have a 7 yr old and an 8 yr old and am pg with dc3.

There's a few locals o here. Hope you enjoy it!

breast led weaning.....ffs how long have you been a mumsnetter? i think Aitch is a guru or somethng

i practised CLW

crisp led weaning ( for me)

LOL only 6 yrs or so - I'm a poor example of a Mner. Shocking.

He he! Thanks for the messages everyone! RnB - BLW is Baby Led Weaning. I'd not heard of it till recently but there's lots of info about it on MN.

Thanks for the info on the meet up - will check out the thread and hopefully can come and meet you all!

Kaloki - I'm just down the road - near the Peace Statue!

Ooh excellent! Well if you ever fancied meeting up in Hove I'm pretty much always free.

Hiya. I'm in Brighton with 5mo DS also!

How was hypnobirthing? sounds really interesting!

Rnb - you are pregnant?! had no idea xx

Hello! If you're late to joining MN, I'm early

"Hello! If you're late to joining MN, I'm early"

You're not the only one

Hi all!

Sorry, I totally forgot to check back and see all the new posts!

Nice to see some other Brighton and Hove Mums on here. What sort of things do you guys go to during the week? Am thinking I should go and join in a few more things to meet some more Mums.

BrandonsMummy - ooh congratulations!! What's his birthday? William was born on 22 June. Hypnobirthing was amazing - would definitely recommend it to anyone. It's alot more logical and science-based than it sounds. Basically alot of common-sense about staying calm and letting your body do what it's designed to do.

Hi Brightonians and Hoveactuallyians - I'm currently in Bulgaria but coming back to Brighton to have my first baby in April (back in Feb - due in April).
I'm also new-ish here.
Will there be another meet up in the New yr does anyone reckon? It'd be good to meet some mumsnetters in Brighton when I'm back as none of my friends have babies and I will probably bore them all!
