Just that really. When i search on nhs.uk it brings up lots of stuff, but not run by the nhs and all seem to be posted via netmums! Is there a search thing I'm missing or do i need to phone the hospital, or.... ?! Confused Bit baffled tbh.

Speak to your midwife. In my area you can do a one off at the local hospital or as we have done a 5 week course through our health visitor. Hope this helps.

There's very few ran by NHS from what I've seen. The maternity ward tour has even been cancelled at my hospital. I was thinking about the NCT ones.

There doesn't seem to be any local to me except NCT, so that's what I've signed up for!

It's worth checking out the Daisy Foundation though, apparently their courses are good (and cheaper than NCT) if there's one near you.

Googled daisy, thanks for that, sounds great!... But there are none near me, sigh. I think that sadly you're right cherry and the hospital just doesn't do them. This is my third so I didn't want to go to an expensive course taking up lots of time, just a refresher Grin Will ask the midwife but wont see her again til about 34 weeks...
