Hello,
I am looking for some advice on Ante-natal classes. My wife is due on the 23rd of October and we have just had the dates for the NHS sessions and all but one of them is on a Monday afternoon between 2pm and 4pm. Now I don't know about anyone else but as a first time father to be I want to support my wife and be a little more prepared for what is to come, ordinarily people would get time off perhaps but I begin a new job as a teacher on the day of the first session and there is no way I can ask for a day off. I realise midwives have lives and there is a shortage of resources but why can these not be arranged for the early evening? We tried to contact other hospitals in the area in the hope they have something but they refused to see us even though one of them is where the birth is planned to take place.
I don't wish to vent but my frustration is near bursting on this matter and my wife is worried about going on her own and remembering everything.
Can anyone suggest ideas such as other courses we could go on or a dvd which covers the content of these types of sessions? We looked at the NCT courses but the one soonest finishes some time after the due date.
Sorry for the rant, any help greatly appreciated.
