When do antenatal classes start?

[LauraKC]

i have heard different things about this and was intending on starting some in the new year. thats not too late is it? Also, hubby cant attend the ones at my local areas. will i be abel to go to a different clinic for free?

It all depends on the services offered by your local Primary care trust. You should be able to get more infor from your midwife with a number to ring and book your place.

My local area do not offer antenatal classes but you can attend a one off, 1 hour maternity roadshow from 34 weeks onwards.........

I start my classes for 5 weeks. By then I'll be 32 weeks pregnant. In my area they have moved the classes to the evening so fathers can attend also. If the classes don't fit in with times you can make trying contacting the National Childbirth Trust as they run private classes. I'm not sure what the prices are like though.

Speak to your midwife, I saw mine earlier and she just gave me the date and time and told me to turn up.

Good luck

Mine start on 6th Jan, I'll be 36 weeks. In my area, its only for one whole day though, so hopefully we will learn eveything we need too.
