Antenatal classes
I know some people don't bother with the classes...but me & my husband have decided we want to attend antenatal class's at our local hospital...this is my first pregnancy.
I phoned them when i was 16 wks pregnant to try & book the class's....but was told to phone back after the 20 week scan....went for my scan yesterday & all was well : )
So i phoned them this morning to book the class's & have been given the dates for me & my husband to attend.
My due date is 5th March '09' & these are the dates i have been given: 4th Feb, 11th Feb & 18th Feb....i was wondering if these dates are too close to the expected due date????
Has anyone else attended antenatal class's...when did you have them...can anyone share any light on this...all advice or information gratefully recieved.

I think it may become a problem...you may well miss out on some classes as your having a c - section....like yourself these private classes are too expensive for us aswel.
I'm worried at the moment because i'm only 4ft 11inches...weighing already 11stone i have another 4 months to go...i have Rhematiod Arthritis in both my hips & also have 4 bolts in my spine....due to scoliosis (curviture of the spine)...the extra weight is already putting alot of strain on my hips...some days i can barely walk...i have already been told by my midwife that i need to see an aneasatist ...waitng on appointment...as i cant have an epidural...to discuss pain relief & birth plan. If i have a long labour i dont think i will last it & get very stressed & have severe pain & cramps in hips, legs & spine
I'm worried as i think i might have to have a c - section...due to the pressure on my already worn out hips & spine...i really need this appointment now, just to put my mind at rest, so i know what's happening to plan for the antenatal classes etc...

We all had due dates in December the first one was due on the 1st mine on the 3rd and our course finished the last week of November with baby one being born on the 3rd and my lol on the 4th.
I think we were both lucky to make it to the end!
I think the general idea is the closer it is to your due date the more you remember. You can either take your chances, speak to the hospital about it or try to book yourself on some alternative ones.
Good Luck
