Auntie and others looking at pushchairs - I found bestbuggy.co.uk very helpful, particularly the comparison you can do.
We'll probably do NCT despite us wanting a ELCS as a social thing to have a network. The NHS classes we might consider but not sure - mostly for snobby reasons as they're held in the next town over. I say despite because of what we've heard about NCT and some teachers attitude towards C sections.
If you're a 'mossy' type,' or have your heart set on a drug-free VB then it would make sense to do everything you can to prepare for that, be it with hypnobirthing classes or yoga or whatever rocks your boat. In any case the antenatal yoga or pilates sessions would be good for your fitness during pregnancy so that can't be bad, mossy or not.
Maybe if you sit down, with your DH or alone, and talk about what kind of thing you picture when you think of having your bean and what you want to do afterwards things will become clearer?
We decided on C section because of my health, mostly. I decided on the Babyjogger City Elite because it has very large tyres, can take bean from birth uptil a few years old which means that although it's expensive and large, we can do things like walk around our favourite dog hike with bean and dog. We decided on NCT classes because we don't have a huge social group around us and in any case we're basically the last to have kids, which means theirs are all toddlers or in school already. We know that because of extension etc, we won't have room for a lot of baby things which means we need to be clever with things like shopping and storage.
Once you figure out what the options are and what you envision working for you, you'll be good to go. Lots of retailers and online sites will list everything and more you need for bean and then there are the reviews on places like MN and AMZ and from friends and on here. Just don't think you need everything on those lists or need it all new cause that gets over-whelming and expensive very quickly.
I hate feeling overwhelmed with options and all the things, but anything you find you desperately need or miss, you can pick up later anyway. Anything you buy and it doesn't work for you or don't need, you can sell..
