Hi

I did my NCT with Sarah a few years back. She's got a wealth of knowledge and there can't be many issues or concerns which she doesn't have first hand experience of, so of the 6 couples in our group no questions went unanswered. It's a nice informal atmosphere being in her home and certainly nicer than being in a hired hall or something. From my own POV I felt there was a little too much emphasis on the natural side of childbirth and not feel I had failed if I needed pethidine or an epidural, but that was perhaps in response to and led by the majority of the group, but as first time mums to be I wanted to feel it was ok to go down the pain relief route if I needed to. It didn't really bother me as I know my own head and since this is the only NCT course I have done I couldn't say if it is the way all teachers are or whether it is particular to Sarah.

If you think the NCT antenatal courses are for you then go for it, I can't imagine a more knowledgable teacher than Sarah and she gave us great support afterwards as well in terms of help with Birth plans.


Good luck!

Hi Bella. This is a bit late but just to say Sarah was great, when we did our course in January. I was in total denial about having to give birth but her classes were really helpful and reassuring. We also made some great friends through the course. I think we were all a bit shy about staying in touch afterwards but Sarah insisted that we all made a date to meet up and that really made it so much easier. Part of NCT is meeting a group of fellow new parents! Hope it all goes well for you.

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
