Hi Ladies, was just wonderin how and when you go about booking the antenatal classes? this is my 1st time, i feel like i am totally clueless on this!! have got a dr appt on the 3rd oct, so hopefully he can enlighten me!?!
Good Luck

my midwife gave me a sheet with the classes on at my first m/w appt at 7wks. i had to fill in the ones i wanted to go to and hand it in at my 20wk scan. havent heard anything since but i dont think they start till you are about 28-32wks.

i would ask your midwife as she should no.

Hi Karen,

I asked my midwife about this at my booking appt (am 18+3 now) and she advised me to email the antenatal department of the hospital requesting the classes. I did that and am all booked in for them. Not only for antenatal but also for a backcare class which is next week, a breastfeeding class and also for a tour of the delivery suite which is nearer the time.

Hope this helps.

I see, think i shall ask the dr at my 15 weeks appt, perhaps he can give me the paper work for it. lets just say the maternity unit at my local hosp (derriford in plymouth) were not exactly what you call helpful when i rang them about an early scan i had to have one!!!
Thanks again
