Free Antenatal Classes in Bristol for first time mums

[IzzyLew]

Hi ladies

I can't seem to find any free midwife-lead antenatal classes in Bristol.

Any advice?

You have to pay for most of them. I think St Michael's and Southmead run their own classes but places are really limited.

I think you can get a discount on NCT classes in certain circumstances but most I've seen in Bristol are about £300! I need to do antinatal classes but if they are online due to covid that seems like a lot!!!

My free NHS ones 2.5 years ago were led my midwives, no idea what is running due to Covid though.

I’m Bristol based and was happy to do mine online, my (Southmead) midwives sent me an email with a PowerPoint and videos and links when I was about 28ish weeks.

Also the midwives at the RUH posted their antenatal classes called Hello Baby online on YouTube for free at the start of lockdown which I highly recommend. Really thorough and easy to follow, DH and I both watched them all and loved them.
