In praise of NHS classes
Hi, I've read quite a lot of stuff previously which praised nct classes but was much less complimentary about nhs ones, so wasn't expecting much when we went for our "active birth" class last night. Have to say I was pleasantly surprised, & hubby enjoyed it too. We were lucky as there was only us & 2 other couples there. The midwife who took the class was very nice, & made us feel relaxed. I felt I learnt quite a lot, even though this is my second baby (things have changed a bit since I had my first 14yrs ago!)
We also had a quick tour of the delivery suite, which freaked me out a bit - kept thinking "the next time I'm here I'll probably be in labour" - aaaargh!!!!!!!!!

I am not sure what ones to do.
1 - intro, signs of labour, when to go into hospital
2 - labour and delivery, pain relief, modes of delivery
3 - infant feeding session
4 - bringing baby home
Will post an update once I've been to first class next week!
