Antinatal Classes?

My last lo arrived at 29 weeks so we hadn't attended any classes yet but the labour itself was fine and I think that knowing nothing wasn't actually such a terrible thing as I didn't have any preconceived ideas about how it 'should be' and just did what I was advised as and when. I'm now 30 weeks with dc 2 and it's fairly likely I'll go again early. Because I'm consultant led and my hospital is geographically close but not actually in my official district I have fallen through the cracks and haven't been booked in for any classes this time either. Tbh I'm wondering if I should bother pushing to go to them or not? It would mean sorting childcare for ds who is now 2 and so it would be hard for DH to attend. He has a long commute too so daytime ones would be tricky too. I've been going to baby yoga again but the class this time is run by an ex midwife and I feel like she has given me a lot more prep than last time anyway. Should I bother pushing for the classes or just leave it?

In our area you are only allowed them for your first child including breast feeding ones and they wonder why we have the lowest rates of breast feeding in Europe.
