I second the evening ones at ED Hospital. Gave me and the husband all the info we needed and we enjoyed them. Most people say NCT ones etc are more helpful if you would like to meet other mums/dads (though I really don't know as haven't done them) but in terms of practical 'all you need to know' stuff, I don't think you can go wrong with the ED hospital classes. Good luck!
we also did the evening classes at ED hospital, 2 hours x 3 evenings. They are specifically tailored to the birth experience at Kings so really helpful from that perspective, told us what we needed to know and we still see other parents from the group. If you are booked into Kings your midwife should have the application forms.

Also, didn't someone just post about a midwife running private antenatal classes at the Magdala in the evenings - I have a feeling they were evening sessions? Look a bit further down the message list James84, it was very recent - in the last couple of days I think - so I'm sure you'll find it.


Having said that the ED hospital classes are very good, very informative, run by a lovely, lovely midwife. And yes, there are some NCT classes running in West Dulwich that are evening only I believe.


When are you looking to do the classes btw?

HypnoBirthing is a great way of preparing for birth although it doesn't cover all the medical aspects. Do give me a call if you'd like more info - I run group and private classes in Herne Hill, Clapham or in your home and can tailor private sessions to suit your time/budget. Also offer a free introductory evening. The techniques are life skills and will really help to make your birth easier, calmer and very positive.


There is also a website with wonderful mp3 downloads for pregnancy and birth, www.positive-birth.com - use the code edf11 for a 10% discount.


I can also recommend Sofie Jacobs - she is just fantastic and you'll love her classes.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
