Hello, I'm 11weeks pregnant with my first child. Its a very scary yet exciting time for me and my husband. However we are totally clueless about all of this and have found that we haven't really been told anything or given any support via our GP. We have of course got ourselves some books and looked up various things on the internet but its all a bit of a mine field! I was told by my midwife to think about birthing options, but seriously can't bring myself to even contemplate that yet! It's far too terrifying. I just want to get to 12 weeks first and know that our baby is developing ok and that everything is well. I feel very alone and have been suffering terribly with morning sickness and tiredness. I'd really like the chance to chat things through with other mums or professionals. Are there any classes or clubs that expectant mums go to? I understand that booking in early for antenatal classes is advised as they get booked up very quickly and this may be a good way to meet people and find out more, but i have no idea how to find out about them. I know that the NHS are supposed to run classes but I have been to the NHS website and can only find general information on classes and no area specific details. I have contacted the NCT and am on the waiting list, however i understand these classes can be pretty pricey! Can anyone advise where around here i can find NHS classes, or indeed if they are worth bothering with.. Many Thanks
