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 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This questionnaire is part of a research project I am conducting within my college course.
