Antenatal classes

The Village Midwife antenatal classes were great. Lots of physiology talk

NCT is not evidence based, im not sure about any national groups that are evidence based, but can recommend New Life in the south west. I think if i lived somewhere nct was my only option i would do it to make friends and take it with a pinch of salt.

I liked The baby academy UK (on Instagram), they have free lessons if you want to explore before buying a course Also book Bumpology, but it's mostly for pregnant women 🤔

I have a friend who is a GP and she did one through 'ourbabyclub.com' don't know about how scientific though.

The most scientific based info I came across is not part of a class but part of a books. For prenatal information ( giving birth etc)it’s Expecting Better and Crib Sheet for after birth. All based on statistical studies and data written by Emily Oster

I found NCT classes quite good, the face to face ones. It’s great for dads cos we had 6 sessions face to face and he got to meet lots of other first time dads and said he got a lot from it.

@Ada Alexandra I second these books, Expecting Better & Crib Sheet - both were great

One of my doctor friends who's also pregnant recommended bump and baby blub, so that's what we've booked

I imagine nct depends heavily on who you get... My teacher was an engineer and i think that was reflected in her teaching

Has anyone read Expecting Better and Bumpology and if so, do they agree with eachother? It would be unhelpful if they 'bust pregnancy myths' but disagree.
