At what stage of pregnancy should you goto antenatal classes?

Does anyone know of any antenatal classes in the penzance, cornwall area?

Have you looked at the NCT classes in your area?

I start mine in May - if i have it before i'll probably forget everything by the time LO arrives

would the clinic know, do you think?

My midwife said that classes noramlly start when you are 30 weeks, but I guess that depends on how they do the classes in your area and how over how many weeks the course is spread.

i have got mine the end of march so will be about 30weeks. i am doing mine through my local childrens centre.

I'll be about 30 wks I think, I'm doing some through the NHS (have you tried your maternity unit?), the midwife should talk to you about them. I'm also doing NCT ones too, 2 full days.
