Mum to be here...
I'm glad that our NCT teacher, Ruth, was so forceful in encouraging the group participants to meet up again. Although we have lost a few by the wayside there is a core of us who have stayed in touch by email and meeting up.
At the last NCT class, some of the ladies of the group made plans for coffee during the week. A couple of the girls are still working (yuk!) but will join us in a few weeks when they finish.
They are a lovely bunch of girls and as we are all so close (within 6 weeks of each other) in due date and it is really helpful and interesting to be able to compare experience on an informal basis. We all have a slightly different take on things, for example F__ and I are the only people planning a home birth, but it makes for interesting conversation. We are planning to keep meeting up weekly even after the babies start arriving. It also makes in interesting that we are all first timers. Our dear friend, the lovely S__ is a mine of useful baby trivia and my sister is another source of tips and it is great to have someone who has just been through it all before but it is also interesting to have a base of friends who are just as scared and clueless as me!!
