NHS antenatal classes

I start mine on 14th april and am feeling really nervous. Does anyone know what there like?

nothing to be nervous about... my first class was about childbirth,MW sat there with a plastic pelvis, a dolly and a placenta talking us through how the whole process worked, chatting about this & that in between.

2nd class was about various pain relief options available to us..

3rd was/is a hospital tour, but i wont be going to that..as ive already been on it

there is a 4th class, but i think thats about BF and something ive done my own research on and have come to my own decision about.

We had our first one the w/end just gone.

I must admit some of the talking about labour scared me a little to start and I found myself feeling angry towards my OH (weird huh?) but after I had had time to digest what we had been discussing I feel lots better. I actually enjoyed it and the MW was funny and nice. We did have the obligatory know it all bloke in there though .

Some people have slated the NHS ones to me but so far so good I say

my classes were fab

our first one was normal delivery and what to expect with labour etc etc

2nd class was about assisted delivers and c sections

3rd class was a feeding class

4th class was a postnatal class and what to expect after delivery
