I have 2 good friends who are expecting thier first baby and would like to attend an NCT group but are concerned they may not receive a positive response from the others in the group.


Has anyone heard of NCT groups for same sex parents? Or has attended an NCT group with same sex parents? Or some sort of support network for same sex parents?


My own expeience of NCT groups is very positive but I'm not in thier shoes.


Feel free to PM me if you prefer.


Thanks in advance.

I'm in a same sex relationship and we did the nct class with becky at the old nuns head nd whilst we were the only ss couple in the group no one batted an eyelid and becky was fantastic when referring to partners rather than just solely using the term "father" of course it was used a lot as it would be naturally but not 100% of the time. Defo look her up and get them to go there. To be honest its so mainstream in London and ED it's really not an issue x

The NCT beats all us teachers with a big stick until we learn to say 'partners' not 'Dads' :))


Becky is just lovely, very funny and witty, and if they're over that way then I agree that her classes would be really great and welcoming for your friends Jasmina.

I am on the committee of South London Lesbian Mums Group. Get your friends to PM me if you like. Will be going to the Summer babies meet up this Sat too if they are around and would like to meet up. Are they due soon?


We went to NHS antenatal with our first. Very diverse group of parents. If anyone had any issue with us, they didn't mention it and we came away with new Muslim and Catholic friends, which we weren't expecting!

My NCT group was just a local one, not specially organised for any reason other then NCT. It had a same sex couple and no one was bothered about it. They integrated into the group just like anyone else. It would be nice to think that your friends could turn up to any NCT group and be treated like any other couple - about time we got over girls who like girls and boys who like boys and got on with the business of raising kids well.

    • Gosh, calm down.. How about not getting so heated, and not eat for 24 hours with sips of water? Try it and you may, just may understand, starvation, no water. No meds at all even if you need them - hasten to add, don’t do it at all if you are medically dependent. In fact, why doesn’t ED - do this for half a day - say in Oct, when everyone has come back from enjoying their, hols, new term starting and as a community, we could all be 1.? Before, November, fireworks, etc.                    
    • Many thanks I have sent them a message  
    • Stop foreign aid spend and re-direct those funds to improve the lives of UK citizens.  People shouldn't have to rely on charities and food banks, their is enough food wasted in this country already which could be re-directed.  Let their own Govts feed them, why does the UK have to do it, how about other nations contributing.  Well if aid can't reach them, how are they supposed to be fed if as you say food parcels being dropped from planes doesn't work.  Lets sort out this country first and put UK citizens first for a change.   
    • Well that really is not Christian Spirit at all - we all live in this world and yes, totally agree that it would be wonderful to have no conflict in the world but that is not possible. Yes we have people in need of food  in this country but overall enough charities and organisation in the west to help. We are talking about thousands of people who are starving - not just going hungry - a huge difference would you not agree ? Aid can’t reach people - for whatever conflict and don’t think people dropping parcels, boxes etc from planes would be the answer either.
