Just been to MW for routine 28 week appointment and I was asking about antenatal class and what it will cover. I only get one on Labour & Birth (couple of hours) and one on Breastfeeding and that's it. I asked her if it covered breathing techniques and she said that that's a 'load of old hat' and not to worry about it as 'you know how to breathe'.
At least 3 friends have asked if I've had antenatal classes and if they'd done breathing as they found it useful in labour.
I feel confused now. Can't afford NCT classes so, should I just dismiss it all as 'old hat' like MW says or should I buy a good book on labour ?!
