I am 26 wks pregnant with my second child and have today been told by my midwife that I am not allowed to attend Nhs antenatal classes. My DS is going to be nearly 4 by the time this LO arrives so I feel like it's been a while and was really hoping to attend them. I also found the support from the other mums last time really valuable and am still in regular contact with most of them. I explained all this to my MW and her answer was that if I am that concerned then she'll let me attend the class on labour but to not let any of the other mums know that I already have a child!!! When I asked her why she said that they don't like mums who already have children to attend as they spoil the experience for the first time mums...to which I said that we scare them with our stories and she said YES!!! It's really annoyed me that I'm missing out on this ...I could understand if she said spaces were short!!! I'm considering contacting the PCT in charge of our area to put in a complaint..am I being unreasonable as it's my second child?!?
