Im so fuming!!!

Just rang to book anti natel classes in Chester, and to she asked me when is your baby due to which i replied 19th september.......After a few clicks on her screen she then replied next available appointments start on the 11th of september for 4 weeks ?!?!?

DID YOU NOT JUST HERE MY DUE DATE???? Thats the bloody week before. So if im lucky i will get to attend one or if im early then ill attend none???

I then asked her is she sure there are none earlier as i dont think this is fair seeing as i was only told this week to book them and got the forms from my midwife. She said maybe there will be an extra one in august but they wont know for a few weeks so she'll put me on that waiting list. So if that doesn't happen then ill have no anti natel classes!!! This is such great care for first time mum's!!!

So anyone that lives in Chester, UK and are due end of september to october i would suggest speaking to your midwife early and seeing about getting the number to book them as then you will have better luck than me and actually get them

Ok rant over .....@!#!@!#! XXX

I'm not in Chester but in the exact same position as you. I won't be going to any ante-natal classes cos they can't fit me in. Nobody seems to concern about it either.

ITS BLOODY INSANE!! And when i rang she didnt even care that i have no clue (like any other first time mum) what to expect etc and it was like ill see if i can get an extra class but if not well tough! bloody hell im only 25 weeks tomorrow at this rate i should have booked them the min i got my and then i MIGHT of had a chance lol sorry for ranting but im fuming XXX

I tried booking mine after my 20 week scan think you're actually meant to book them before you even find out your pregnant.

Ema

When I went for my 16 week appointment the midwife booked me in for ante-natal classes then.
They are 4 and 3 weeks before I'm due
Hope I'm not early or else I won't have a clue either
