To complain about an antenatal class?

Just need to rant about the awful antenatal 'Infant Feeding Class' my husband and i went to last night! She only spoke about breast feeding, even though i am happy to breast feed i still found her very pushy! She also laughed at my husband (and every other person thereafter) for getting a question wrong. Then for the whole evening i was stressed/ anxious because i knew he was upset. After about 40 minutes of her constantly talking at us cutting off anyone who didn't say the correct thing we then watched a video about the importance of skin to skin 'even with the father if mother dies'!! and then she ran over by 15 minutes! I don't feel like i learnt anything that i didn't know already, and ended up crying the whole way home.

I know at 35 weeks pregnant most of the upset is because of my hormones, but surely she should be aware that her audience will literally be a bubbling pot of hormones!

That is shit! Belittling people is downright rude and nobody should come out of a session like that feeling crap.

I went to a 3 hour breastfeeding session with my first and we overran! However, the way it was run was brilliant. She started by asking us everything we had ever heard about breastfeeding and then went through them.
