Antenatal Classes at QEH

[Rachel86]

Hello, haven't used this site before, so hope I'm doing this right!
I was wondering whether anyone has attended the antenatal classes @ QEH and if so what are they like?
It's my 1st child so I am a little unsure of what to expect at these.
Also when should I be offered these classes, I will be 25 weeks this week, and haven't been told anything by my midwives.

Thanks in advance
Rachel

Are these the parentcraft classes? If so then I did them and they were fine and quite useful as you can ask specific questions about the hospital you are giving birth in. Ask your midwives when the next classes are happening. I do recommend doing NCT if only for the friends you make on it! Best of luck Mary xx

they do a very good breast feeding workshop too

I went to only 2 sessions at QEH: one on pain relief and 1 on bf-ing. Both worthwhile, esp. the pain relief one for asking questions. Sorry, did antenatal course at Farefield, which was OK. Was nearly 4 years ago so can't quite remember how late it was, though certainly after 2nd scan.
