Please help! The whole family suddenly announced their arrival tomorrow evening and my mind went completely blank! I need something to cook fairly fast. Any ideas are welcome! Thx

With this weather I'm not sure what to plan for the family Easter. Normally we would go to Kew gardens but now I don't know... What are you planning?

So, um... here is the oven baked potato tortilla my daughter loves:

I felt the same at first. now a year after I got back to work it does not stink so strong to be away from my baby... I can't say I do not miss her at all but it is not a constant urge to check up on her anymore. plus I'm lucky to have a good nanny 

Well, Victoria Beckham and Fergie definitely think so )))

Hi. It's been 2 yrs ago, but I'm pretty sure the midwives who worked there are still on staff.. well, all I can say is that was a good thing I got to the RLH, the staff at the maternity ward was just great... The food and overall postnatal care was not perfect though... 

North London Nannies, here's their tel. 020 3199 3858. their emergency childcare service comes in handy

Definitely NHS. Who of us can say she's 100% healthy and there won't be any surprises while delivering? I'm not sure such superwomen exist in our ecology... In NHS hospitals you can be sure you and your baby will be cared for if anything unpredictable happens, in birth centres I'm not so sure... 

Giving birth at home is the best choice I made. I delivered my first baby at home in a birthing pool.
I have such fantastic memories of the experience! I was nervous about how I would cope with the birth of my first child at home until I read about the benefits of water birth.
I had an amazing pain-free birth without the need for medical intervention or drugs.

My niece goes to Fulham Prep. So far so good as I know. Can't give much details though... 

Yeah, that's dilema... Compare the schools in your area and choose the one that suits your kid the most, private or state doesn't really matter if your child is happy

Yeh, I can say UCH is one of the best at least according to my experience.  My labour didn't go smoothly and I am happy we were in hands of the good doctors of the UCH, I don't know how it all would turn out if not for them 

Hi all! 

Hey, you can visit the place on their open week and ask all your questions. you can confirm an attendance here - http://www.casterbridgecae.com/index/brighthorizons_preschool-2013.php

How old is your kid? There is a good creche at  16 Northwold Road, Stoke Newington, N16 7HR. It's Ofsted registered, they accept kids from 0 to 5 

You dont have an automatic right to return to work part time after maternity leave. But you may have the right to ask for flexible working hours and this request must be considered seriously by your employer. If they do not consider it seriously, this could be discrimination.

Please share your experiences in starting your own business while being a parent. What challenges did you face? 

we just moved here, I'm 8 weeks in and don't know where to register. Royal Free, UCL, Whittington, or somewhere else? Any advice please

The midwives were determined I should have a natural delivery but after I’d  struggled for several hours a doctor appeared and suggested a section. The midwives said I could manage, and I was too scared and confused to offer an opinion. Eight hours later I was whisked off to surgery for an emergency section. I’ve always resented those extra eight hours of agony! The after care at the Royal Free was great though.

I desperately want to get back to work now that my daugter is 6 but it's been so long ... Any advice? What is your eperience?

Can anyone recommend some good antenatal classes? Are they really neccessary after all? What do you think? 

Anyone who has experience wit hthis hospital please share 

Does anyone have experience giving birth in Barkantine? It's my first baby, needs some advice. Thx
