anti natal classes

[jools221181]

Hi everyone!
We are due to go to our anti natal class tomorrow (they have started doing them over a full day now round here) The thing is both me and my husband are full of cold and feeling pretty lousy! I was just wondering if any of you lot have found them to be really useful? I have read so much and found out so much from you lot on here that i can't see us missing much if we chose not to go!! In a way I don't want to miss out on anything but I dont want to pass on this horrible cold to a room full of pregnant ladies too!!! What would you do?

I dont know if you get it in your area but the only usful thing in our classes was the visit to the hospital. To see where we go and the set out etc.

I also liked getting to meet other new mums-to-be in the area and I still keep in contavt with the most of them now.

Did you go in the end did you find it useful?

No I'm afraid we didn't make it!! Both of us were too ill to even get out of bed!! I really hope we didn't miss anything we don't already know about!! To be honest I think the only thing would be the look round the hospital but I saw most of it when I had to stay in at new year! We are at the hospital weekly anyway and everyone has been really helpful with any questions so I'm not too worried!! Just want everything to hurry up now!!!

Hiya

At least you guys got some classes. In my area they were all cancelled apart from a hours class. Reason is to free up midwives in the community.

I have not been taught anything, now they are telling us, we might not even get care at home afterwards.

take care all

Alot of people have, does not seem to make any difference. To top it off, they wnt to move the maternity unit 15 miles down the rd in the future.

that's terrible!

Had mine yesterday and found the whole 6 hours a most valuable and worthwhile event.

've got children already and feel like I have still learnt so much!
