I was watching the one show last night whilst cooking. They had a feature on some antenatal classes being run for dads. I think the idea was to help them feel more prepared to support their partner. And that's great and all but...
I've been offered a 2.5 hour "birthing workshop". That's it. And within that time, there'll be a tour of the facilities at the hospital. Add in time to get settled etc, we're probably talking an hour and a half, at most.
This is my first pregnancy, but I was sort of hoping for more information than it is possible to exchange within an hour and a half. Tbh, I'm just getting my head round actually giving birth, and was hoping my "antenatal classes" would make me feel more prepared.
Is this a normal amount of time? What sort of antenatal classes have other people been offered? Are they really so superfluous that an hour and a half will cover it?
