I'm Currently Feeling:  | Antenatal Classes
Whats everyone doing for Anetnatal??
I was told by the Midwife not to even think about it until about 30+ weeks... but don't the courses get booked up well in advance?
I think there is the odd breastfeeding class available but that's it really. I have heard about NCT.
Is anyone a member or been to their classes??
thanks

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I start my hypnobirthing classes on 3/18, but I registered ages ago cause they fill up SO quickly. There is a baby shop here in my town that offeres all sorts of different classes; hypnobirthing, lamaze, breastfeeding, making your own baby food, cloth diapering...it's awesome! I would definietly think about signing up soon otherwise the class you want might be filled up already! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I hadn't given it much thought but I got a letter the other day asking me to book a place for a one day antenatal workshop which is 10am till 4pm. The letter also said I should atend a fit for pregnancy class at the hospital which can be accessed between 16 and 26 weeks of pregnancy. Well I was already 28 weeks!! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Haven't heard about the fit for pregnancy thing......
I have mixed feelings whether to go to antenatal classes or not. Some people i have talked to have said it was a waste of time. but i am tempted to go all the same. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | The fit for pregnancy class is meant to be some sort of physio and I hadn't heard of it either till I got that letter.
I don't know whether the classes will really be worth it since most of the stuff you learn from reading about it but I thought I'd go all the same. It's something to do anyway and will probably be fun. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Oooo haven't heard of fit for pregnancy before either..
I'm not too fussed on the classes to be honest. Well not really the breathing thing, but i guess the breast feeding and such like may be good to go to for me... i know nothing lol |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I got an Avent DVD in my bounty pack when I first got pregnant and that gives you some really good advice on breastfeeding. |
