Hi all

I am 5.5months pregnant and i am a bit confused about ANTENATEL classes, i have sent the form off that i was given by my midewife but have not heard anything back. So i am assuming they are full. If this is the case can anyone recommend any good classes in East Dulwich area? I am also confused about when you are suppose to start these classes.

This is my first baby, so any info will be much appreciated.


Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks

call them to check whether they actually received your form, I got to about 7 months before I called and was told that there was no record of me and the first available course started about a week before I was due and ran for three weeks!

The lady I spoke to took pity on me (I cried) and said we could sit in on the last evening of the one she had running, which we did. My baby was almost 4 weeks early so we never actually made it to our course, and missed out on all of the labour and birth information!

It wasn't the end of the world obviously as nothing can reeeaally prepare you for every eventuality and there is a lot of information available in other places but I do wish I had called earlier...

Best of luck :o)

I ended up calling Kings as I never heard anything back from them, they said they never received my form, but managed to book me in over the phone. I started the classes at 36 weeks, which worked in well as I had just started my maternity leave, so didn't have to take anymore time off work.

My NHS classes started when I was about 35 weeks pg and I did not manage to see the course through either as babay came a bit early. Would not expect to hear anything til about 7 months.

so far as I know the nly alternative is NCT - they have a web site but you have to pay (unless you can show you are on benefits etc I think)

I had to chase Kings after I didn't hear anything from them and they also told me that they never received my form. I was lucky enough to book onto a course over the phone and was about 34 weeks when they started and a lot further than anyone else. Definitely chase Kings, I think I had to keep calling everyday for a week before I got to speak to the correct person.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
