I had my first antenatal class yesterday which was held at my local GP surgery and it was a joke. The class was so overcrowded as they did not pre organise who was coming as they just sent a general letter inviting everyone to attend. We were sharing mats there were so many people. Also we are not allowed to bring partners except on one special partners evening they do. They gave us the schedule as to what we will cover and we did not get through half as there was so many people. We didn't do any relaxtion techniques which was said would be done in every class and to be honest there is no way this will prepare me for the birth at all! I have looked in to other classes and have seen an Active Birth course which looks good but costs £150 and seems a bit excessive. I am happy to pay but perhaps not that much. Anyone had the same experience or know of any good classes local to Barnes (SW13)?
