Hi
My due date is tomorrow (so fingers crossed). Just wondered if there are any mums/mums to be in the kent area.
Im from Maidstone area and would be good to chat to you, exchanging experiences and moans etc.

Still no baby today- maybe tomorrow.
I work in Tun wells, so know the area quite well.
This is my 1st pg, what about you?
Hannah
So you are not far from me then I am in Robertsbridge...
(5 weeks+1) and I've already got two little girls. x x x Sarah x x x
I work for tun wells Mental health team and so it involves some travelling around the area, i know tun wells more than i do maidstone! I live just outside maidstone.
So if you live in robertsbridge are you having lo in pembury? Thats where im hoping to have mine unless she decides to make a quick appearance and the journey is too far.
Hi Sarah21 Uckfield isnt too far away i suppose.
So when are your due dates girls?
I dont think uckfield is far from me.. I think I get there from the road leading out of the other end of the village...
And no I dont like Robertsbridge much!! moved here just over a year ago from northamptonshire.. left all my friends and family behind, which in some cases wasnt a bad thing...pmsl
I am due on 24th March
19+3
I'm not due till the 1st July so it's very early days for me at the moment!
Robertsbridge isn't far at all, my oh has family there and I think it's about a half hr drive ish? I use to live in Crowborough and it was'nt far from there.
Nice to speak to some local mummies!! Take care x x x Sarah x x x
WOW Sarah where bouts does your oh family live? Didnt know if it was close to me?
Think I will definatly be looking at diferent hospitals now though as didnt know they were available... isnt it amazing how people just asume.... my mw told me to go to conquest on Wednesday when I needed to be checked over, woulda bin nice to have had the choice.. must admit the mw there that treated me was lovely and very nice and she was funny... but I know they are not all like that as had some dragons where I used to live, and obviously the one i got now!!! hehehehe
I thinmk its worth looking around Pembury, its a really old hospital, but theyve just spent a fotune on the delivery suite and i was really impressed with it - mainly because of how clean it is? Hard to believe i know esp after all the press about Maidstone hospital- im having my check ups there but avoiding any stays there. Even my consultant said Pembury was better as its more set up as a obs and gynae hospital.

Hi Sarah.. just thought I would say I have been considering the other options.. pembury is a bit ar for me to go as if the traffice is bad I could end up having lo in car... would be handy in a sense as my oh works in tonbridge and not far from him, so if lo decideds to come when he is deliering in London he will be very close by... but I was adament I wanted a home birth, but while searching last night I cam across the crowborough birthing center... well I turned round to my oh and said if we go there I will be happy if he would prefer me not to have a home birth... it looked lovely... and my own room, which I must admit was a reason I didnt want hospital... as when u no that when you had lo it is the only rest you are going to get and you are on a ward with other crying babies and dont get a wink of sleep all night.. ( i know the los cant help it) so yes I would really consider it.. will have a proper chat to him later as he was into footie last night and if he goes for it I will phone them tomorrow for more info etc...

Im still heavily pg- Now 8 days overdue and seeing consultant today at 2.30. Nervous as to what he will say. Either go home and come back nxt week or stay in and be induced. I dont know which i would prefer really?!?
Hope bumps are behaving themselves.
Hannah
I remember both of mine I went in to have the book in and I went into labour the next day...lol
Hannah, hope your lo decides to make an appearance soon! x x x
