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.

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
