I'm Currently Feeling:  | Not sure if we are going to go. If we are, it would be in August, and it is $125 US for the both of us. Not too expensive but I'd rather spend that money on the baby.... |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | i am attending free classes at my local hospital. my midwife referred me there. They start at the end of June and there are 3 two hour sessions plus one 2 hour breastfeeding workshop.
Perhaps speak to your midwife as they forward your info to the organiser of them to get you enrolled. I am certain you will be entitled to free classes.

| My hospital offers free classes which my midwife offered to sign me up to but we've opted for private classes. It's worth speaking to your midwife. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | We get free classes and m/w books in at 28 weeks. But we can pay for some too with the NCT which are £135 plus £39 to join the NCT and then they keep you informed of any events and things. I think most people only go to make friends! I've heard the NCT ones are a bit new agey and they have you role playing and stuff, and I'd rather spend the £135 on something else! Like a pair of shoes that will fit my now humongous feet! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I may take one of those Lamaze classes or prenatal yoga when I have the time but probably not.
Just the though of someone telling me ''Relaxxxxxxx'' ''Just breatheeeeee''...ugh... |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I'll be taking the free ones at the hospital when i hit 32 weeks and they are 2hr sessions, one a week for 5 weeks. I had to book early as they fill up really quickly. I really looking forward to them. |
