Thank you! You sorted me out in such a short time - are you an expert in human behavior or something? I feel so much better now. I love the idea of the new team member, might do it today

:rotfl:Glad to be of service

Skinty - the classes vary wildly by area! My ones in my hometown were absolute pants but the ones where I live now (about 5 miles away) are fab!
are the private ones run by NCT? I'd think those would be the best but you will have to arrange ur own hosp tour if you wanted to check it out just in case you encounter a hosp dash in ur labour

Yes my upright work chair is hardest on my groin pain. If i sit on sofa with knees higher than pevlis it's ok. Will see what happens as am having my second trimester risk assessment in a couple of weeks for DSE.

Have you seen this?? How impossibly beautiful are her kids?? It's so unfair! Not that my boy isn't beautiful to me of course but these kids are already model lookers!!

loving the comment

Q: What’s the difference between Cindy Crawford’s son and Cindy Crawford’s daughter?
A: Not enough

Well yes currently but he is going to be a looker when he is older. Think like the long blond haired travis bloke with the massive package - he has feminine features too.

Hungry and nothing in the house. Wonder if i can drive with his pain.....Macdonalds may be shouting me.

They are run a local breakaway group who used to be NCT!

I have seen the hospital when I had to go in for my bleeding, so I don;t really need a visit as I've seen the basics already, so probably I'll leave it as the private ones are six classes in Marlow (down the road from where I live) and I reckon i'll make more friends at those than at the NHS ones (which will be full of people off the estates ).

Skinty - I have only done the Parentcraft classes and found them useful and free! Also then accidentally came across a breathing class at physiotherapy at the hospital and that was an hours class. That's all I have had.

I know it sounds bad, but at my church we have a huge mix of people, from very rich to poor, and I find i really don;t have anything in common with the people who live on the estates. I find it hard enough talking to OH's family (who live on a council estate but not here) as we just don;t have anything in common.

Plus, with my views on BF, HB etc., I'm guessing i'd be in a minority at the NHs classes.

well we've not covered pain in class yet - they're in may but the impression I got from the breastfeeding class was that everyone there would be going to hosp for an epidural and almost all of them hadn't a clue about breast feeding and hadn't even looked into what it involved.
I know I am a snob, my mum brought me up to be one I'm not ashamed of how/where we grew up, but we work at getting out of it , 99% of the kids that where around while we were growing up are now just like their parents living on a council estate on benefits with no qualifications

Did you say you were doing a mystery shop today? is it anywhere good? I keep forgetting to do the little tests to get the decent ones so all I've done are burger joints :rolleyes:

Shall I just not bother? Has anyone done these Parentcraft classes?

I only did the NCT classes, not the Parentcraft ones. Half my NCT group went to them too, mainly for the social side - they didn't cover anything we didn't cover at the NCT classes.

Classes for me was about meeting people, we've all started having our babies now and are sharing lots of emails and photos!

I wouldn't worry about missing them.
