Alternative to antenatal / parentcraft classes

[MrsGEW]

What is every body doing instead on the NHS antenatal classes?
Any books you can recommend?
any online courses which you can purchase / access?

As a FTM I was looking forward to the classes, haven't a clue what to expect before, during and after giving birth!!

I rather liked these three videos (first one here: . They are, I think, Canadian, but the focus is on the physiological aspects of birth so still fully relevant here!
