Antenatal classes: NCT, The Group or other?


Recommended Posts

ED mums, which antenatal class did you go for and what would you recommend?

The choice is overwhelming..


I'd prefer something focused more on the baby side of things rather than pregnancy/birth if that narrows it down and more interested in meeting other mums than anything else (due end July time)


Thanks in advance for any tips :)

Hi Anna. I agree - the choice is overwhelming! We've signed up to The Group (beginning end Feb), but I also have no idea which is the 'right' one. They all cost about the same so far as I could establish. Just hoping to meet some nice people (and all the learning, of course!). Good luck.

If it helps we did NCT nad hypnobirthing first time round. Found NCT a waste of time. It?s ok if you have a group you he?ll with otherwise it?s all pregnancy based and not all that different to what a google will tell you. Hypnobirthing was amazing birth prep. For the social side of things, pregnancy yoga was amazing. Met some wonderful ladies and their partners who have become great friends and allies in the parenthood journey.

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
