How many days does you hospital offer of ante natal classes? I was expecting a few days, but was told that it is only one day.

I thought they would run over a few weeks tbh but ours was just one day (10-2.30 today!) Our mw said that they were made to cut back and this is all they can offer now. I have to say though, it really was good and I can't imagine needing to go for anymore sessions! (Plus the food was yummy lol!)

my hospital runs 3 over 3 weeks an hour a week but they dont start until im 38weeks so bit worried if i go into labour early and miss out

Mines the same 1 two hour session, how are they gonna cover feeding birth labour and all that, ridiculous. I know that we can reearch ourselves but some cant or some people have specific situations/problems.

think it depends on the NHS trust. our was done over 5 weeks til last yr but now they have moved to an all day session on the sunday, which was 10-4 but we were finished a lot sooner than that and i didnt feel they missed anything really.

just remember if you have any questions at the end make sure you ask, thats what they get paid for!!

Mine was 6 hurs over 3 days. so i had 2 hurs a week, or i had the choice to have the whole lot in one day at the weekend. but i fort that would be a bit to much to take in all at once lol
