I'm expecting my first baby in the summer and am starting to think about antenatal classes/ courses. I've been booked into one at the hospital, which I've heard is very good and comprehensive. All my friends who've already had children rave about the NCT classes, but I wonder if they're worth doing? I feel like the only reason I would do them is to make friends and I think I could do that simply by becoming a member of NCT, taking advantage of the organised mother and baby groups/ meet-ups and possibly doing a postnatal course with them once the baby is born.
What do other people think? Is the NCT antenatal course worth the £375, or will I get exactly the same - if not better - information from the NHS run courses? Thanks in advance for any thoughts/ shared experiences! :)
