NCT Antenatal Classes - worth it?
Hi everyone
Has anyone ever been to NCT antenatal classes? If so were they any good and worth the money?
Thanks
Jenny

I have been to both NCT and NHS classes. Today is my last NCT and was my first NHS. My report on the NCTs would have been that they were great for meeting people from a similar environment, they were planned so partners can go too, they were informative but a bit wishy washy and unstructured.
However, I have just returned from my NHS one and it was awful! No planning, no introductions, no structure at all. This may be to do with the midwife presenting them, I don't know, anyway now the NCT classes seem brilliant and actually have a focus to each session. Maybe they appear wishywashy because they don't provide black and white answers (maybe I have to realise where childbirth is concerned, these don't exist!)
Either way, if all my knowledge was based on the NHS class I would be seriouly worried about knowing anything. And my husband would know nothing. So yes, the nct classes are worth the money!!
