Antental Classes Booked!
Has anyone else booked theirs? I've booked mine today with NCT starting in Janury when I'll be 29 weeks. The NHS ones near me were a bit pants and were only running 1 or 2 sessions on an afternoon when my OH wouldnt be able to make it.
This feels like the first pregnancy all over again because my daughter is 16 and my OH hasnt been through the pregnancy and birth thing before so am looking forward to it xx

Anyone else booked theirs? Xx
i only had imogen a year ago and had a straight forward birth and didnt really need any of the advice given at my first NHS ones.
hubby wants them but i dont understand why as we know it all?? unless hes forgotten lol
I've not done anything about classes yet! Does the midwife do classes, or the hospital? My midwife hasn't mentioned anything yet. I feel a bit stupid!!

Gem, don't feel stupid! The hospital midwife gave me the info when I went for my 12 week scan, so just ask at your hospital, or ask your normal midwife.
People have told me different things about the NHS courses, some people say they are really helpful, and others say totally useless! Anyone out there who has done them and wants to share their opinion??
As I said, at my hospital it's the only way you get to see the maternity unit, so I just want to be nosey!! Plus as a first timer I am probably a bit too keen xx
i was looking into refresher ones but i think it would be a waste of money and time.
We did the NHS ones - had four if I remember rightly. The most useful was the labour and birth one as we got a tour of the delivery suite and the lady who did it had herself had one completely natural delivery, one induction and one emcs so she was able to cover all the bases. We had another on feeding, one on "after the baby" and one other that I can't even remember what it was about (must have been useful!!).
I had to book them myself, but the midwife provided the contact details. I do remember having to book them fairly early though.
