If you can bothered parnell still has room - birthcare. Im doing a refresher there and they have breastfeeding one off classes too if anyone is interested

Only first time mums are subsidised though for antenatal

Not sure if i know your DH or not will check out your FB. He does look kinda familiar did he go to hargest as well?

Let me know when you book in and I might ring up? I'm pretty sure there is classes out at Winton but not keen on driving out there for them, my midwifes out there but I don't mind driving to see her!

Yeah hes a hargest boy, same year as Chris. He was a lot skinnier back then though

The latter 2 are optional. Quick question: Do you know if you go to the classes allone or with DP/DH?? I know they are alloud to come to all but is there some classes which are better for DP to come to than others?? BEcasue i can imagine poor DP getting quite bored with it all and i was just wondering if some are better than others for partner participation??

Sometimes they split the class in 2 for certain exercises, my dp got bored in some of the classes, but came to them all. In the end it's up to you but I know at the class I went to people always came as a couple - guess for support plus didn't want to miss anything

You would def want do to be at the optional class on massage/positions though!
