Spent all yesterday in vain trying to track down via the Internet any classes at all that I could attend in the evening during my pregnancy.
I'm particularly interested in Aquanatal, but in the whole county, and a bit beyond, I was surprised to find that there are only 3 classes running, all on weekday mornings, but I work so can't attend. I start my mat leave on 29th Jan, so potentially (fingers crossed) could attend 4 sessions before my due date - would this be too late? Do they even allow you in the pool that late on?
There is literally nothing else going on. I found a couple of Yoga classes which were not specifically for pregnancy but 'could be beneficial for pregnant women' which I'm not sure about.
Disappointingly, there was a Bumps to Birth group running at the Surestart centre 2 mins walk from my house, but I assume the funding must have run out as it finishes in December (again on wekday mornings).
To be quite honest, I was expecting more? I will be going to the hospital Antenatal classes with my partner, there are only 4 sessions, but I fancied something just for me, bit of gentle exercise - but, well, to be blunt, I wanted to make some other pregnant mates! We are newish to the area and although I'm 29, I don't actually know that many people who are having/have children.
What are other people's experiences? Or could anyone shamelessly point me in the direction of anything in the Merseyside area?
