Antenatal classes - which to choose

Hi, I have been looking at antenatal classes for my babay due at the end of Feb 09. Parent Centre is Auckland Central and West Auckland are full up for this year so would have to do a class that would be still running when I am due to give birth.

Was also given details for mama maternity - have not heard of them though.
Need some advice - who can you all recommend in the central auckland or central west auckland area.

Hi there,

I do a bit of volunteer work for Parent Centre (central), and they were talking about running an extra antenatal group over a weekend near the end of the year as there is so much demand at the moment.

I am so glad we chose to do the Parent Centre ones as the resulting coffee group is so great - a huge support to have. The classes themselves were fab as well. Really realistic and fun.

Might be worth getting in touch with the bookings person again and get yourself on the list just in case this extra class goes ahead?

My best friend did the birthcare ones and thought they were a waste of time. the instructor kept going on about 'dancing down the birth canal' (FWIW I think those are fully booked as well anyway)

Hope you manage to find something xx
