Antenatal classes after 1st child?

going against the grain here too I did enjoy my antenatal class - had a laugh etc... I was 3rd time round mum at the time but Dh first birth so did it for him as I did not want to explain things when i was in labor (I like to be left to it)

I also did it for the coffee group thing but unfortunately it didn't happen - some were younger, some lived further away and some were farmers out in the country - so although i did suggest it nothing happened there.

Didn't bother this time as would only of done it for the coffee group thing again. So i am going to ask the plunket nurse when she comes to put me intouch with an groups or people she knows who have babies round Elodies age ( heard there has been a few round this time)

There was one couple (out of 3) in our group that already had a child. We did hypnobirthing (totally recommend it btw!) and so they were doing the class for #2 because they'd heard about it since baby #1 and wanted to try it.

My coffee groups were formed by a couple girls who lived in my condo and then we all invited one or two more people we met through things like prenatal yoga/AN classes/colleagues who happened to be pg at the same time ... and the other one was the group of girls who came to Baby Cafe around the same time as me (BF support group).

And I feel like I have an online coffee group with the other Feb 09 Mums from here, almost as good (and sometimes better!) than my RL coffee groups
