Sorry I know this has been done to death a million times before. I've just had a read through previous threads and still feel I could do with some here and now opinions.

I have reserved a place on my local NCT antenatal course in March and have to confirm my reservation by the end of the week.

I'm really hesitating and I'm not sure why. I think maybe I'm worried I won't fit in and my main reason for wanting to go is the social side of things.

By not fitting in, I worry because I'm 24 and I imagine it will be mainly be ladies 10 or so years older than me who will wonder why I'm there and not at the NHS classes...there's a lot of stereotypes and stigma around NCT classes and don't know if I'm just being silly? DP also works shifts so may not be able to come every week which makes me nervous people will judge us for this as well?

It's a lot of money and I currently work late on the evening the classes are on so will have to sort out trying to swap this around so it's not even 100% I'll be able to go yet, I just want someone to tell me to stop being so bloody stupid and get on with it really....any takers? Grin

I am younger than my group of friends (not massively but was 26 when I had dd) and really hasn't made any difference at all.
