NCT Refresher courses

[whatwasIthinkingof]

Hi, anyone been on an NCT Refresher course? My second baby is due end of October. I didn?t do NCT classes for my first and regretted it as so many people I?d met did the classes and made some great friends. I did make friends eventually but it took a while.

Also, do the Refresher courses cover Caesareans? I?ve been told I might need one but not sure yet and wonder if there is any point in doing an NCT Refresher course if they don?t cover them. Anyone got any info on either of these points? Cheers.

I tried to go - they cancelled mine quite late in the day due to lack of interest. Really annoying as it was so close to EDD that there were no spots left on the local first timers course. They wouldn't put me in touch with them to form a coffee club either which was annoying as most of what I was after was to form friendships with other local mummies.

Whatwas I'm also thinking of doing NCT for the same reasons... Couldn't justify the spend first time round (£300!!!) but the refresher in our area is only a 2 day course and is aimed at second-timers. I made some fab friends thru yoga but had to work hard at it, never turning down invites etc. Also I feel my DH missed out and hasn't really made any daddy friends, so I think it would be good for him too! No idea whether they touch on Csection, but I'll be having another one.. (EMCS first time round). I have a feeling it won't be covered in any great depth though..
