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 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 Wink, 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!!

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.
