Please help if you can

Hi all Im from the 3rd trimester. Im currently at college hoping to go on to uni to study midwifery, I was wondering if you could find the time to fill in the following questionnaire which I have wrote to find out how valuble NHS antenatal/parentcraft classes are (this has nothing to do with any NHS research, its purely for my course). Only fill it in if you've had a pregnancy which has gone into the antenatal class period (usually 28 weeks!)
Just copy and paste the original questions in to your reply and put an X by your chosen answers.
Thanks all, im aiming on 100 replies altogether so it would be much appreciated if you have the time and energy to fill it in

Thank you for taking your time to fill this questionnaire in and please feel free to add any additional comments.
I only went to our classes for the hospital tour. On the whole the classes were disapointing and boring and not well thought out.
