Bump and baby club - London

[SophieStripe]

Hi... We have booked onto an antenatal course with NCT but lots of reports say the classes are a bit rubbish and it's more for a social life than anything else, but even then it's pot luck. I have come across this group, bump and baby club that say they do modern antenatal classes, loads of meets ups, socials, yoga, hypnobirthing etc as well. Has anyone done them? Should we cancel NCT and do these classes instead? They are basically the same price!

Sorry no experience of bump and baby but just to say I found NCT really useful, I'm in south east London and it was worth every penny as me and my husband learned loads and we've made good friends. I'm sure someone will come along with more helpful info on bump and baby soon. Good luck with it all!

Great thanks, we are in SE London too so hop ours will be good too!

We've had info about this anti natal provision too through the hospital. I'm SW London. I assume it's aiming to be a competitor to NCT.

We've decided to do NCT as this is what all of our friends did and generally had positive experiences. Although as you've said we are doing it more for the "buying friends" angle than because we think it will tell us everything we need to know about having a baby.

Yes I did bump and baby (SE London - the East Dulwich class). Haven't done anything but the antenatal classes which were good. Really liked the teacher - Tess. We had a really good group and we meet up quite a bit and are on an active what's app group. Some babies are now here, a few of us coming to the end. We were initially looking at NCT but they didn't have anything that fit with our timetable.
