Hi..there's another post on here about antenatel classes but if i were you i would call your midwife to arrange sooner. Only because with mine they run over 4 weeks....so if you'll be 35 weeks when you see her you won't have much time to fit them in.

I had to ask my midwife at my 28 week app and she booked me in there and then...hope that helps xx

My hospital offered a one day class (which I went to today), so you might still be okay - but they do get booked up early, so I would call your midwife or the hospital that you are under, on Monday so that you don't miss out. I have been to NCT as well and I do feel that forewarned is forearmed, even though you can get lots of info online and in books.

i'm 30 weeks and my midwife said that they start at 32 weeks but still havent heard anything from the antenatal dept at hospital as it is them who send out invites.

I had to call up the hospital to book mine. It was a one day parentcraft class and i think I booked it when I was about 26-27 wks.

Although my hubby learnt quite a lot I didn't find it so helpful, so I am glad we're doing the NCT ones too! They didn't do any breathing techniques/massge, v important for me , or go through any of what to expect after you go home with your baby, other than a big breastfeeding push, mmm!

Def sort out a class ASAP!!

thanx girls,will ring th m/w this week and ask her about it xx

I had to book mine at my 12 week scan because they get booked up so quick! ive got 9 classes on the nhs, each 2 hours one hour with the midwife and one hour with the physio, i have found them really helpful and useful, they started when i was 24 weeks.
