Any other first time mommies who haven't been to antenatal classes. I'm 35 weeks on Thursday and I'm really starting to regret not going. I feel like I don't know anything from what to expect in labour and birth to caring for my little boy in his first few weeks. I've been looking for private one day classes but can't find any!

As stupid as it sounds... It happens how it happens and every labour is different. I didn't go to one class when pregnant. Nothing can depend on how short or long your labour is, and I don't care what anyone says, nothing eases the pain either. Breathing goes out the bloody window and you do what you've gotta do! It'll come naturally to you. All I can say is follow what the midwife is telling you to do xx

thank you @lottegilxo that's pretty much what my other half has said! He said what will happen will happen and to just go with the flow! when he said it earlier I felt like saying go with the bloody flow!! you go with the flow!! but actually I suppose it kinda makes sense xxx

Its no problem 😊 I just found them a waste of time. I was supposed to go to 3 classes and they only did 2. They rushed through them!! I was not impressed at all xxxxx

Throwing a cat among the pigeons here now, but I found ours really good 😐 am glad I went as I feel a bit more prepared now, she was very general about how labour goes etc as of course everyone is different. But to have a rough idea and be able to ask questions specific to the hospital where I'll be giving birth was really good. As a first time mum am glad we went x

I was booked on one but was to unwell to go. Xx

@ssumner, I bet some of them are really good just depends on your hospital I suppose. It's certainly good to feel prepared xx

@stacey804, has it bothered you that you wasn't able to go? xxx
Stacey Marie·
At first it did but my mam and other people said nothing can prepare you for having a baby. Reading the books and going to the classes is great but isn't necessarily going to prepare you. I suppose I was disappointed because I wanted to see what it was all about this being my first baby but I'm not fussed now. Xxx

@stacey804, your mom is right I bet! it should all come naturally let's hope!! Hope you're better now xxx

@titch.82, that sounds day perfect just what I would want to do! xx
Stacey Marie·
I've been impatient for a few weeks but now I'm just past it. 😂🙈 totally at the point that he'll come when he's ready, although knowing my luck I will have to force him out with being induced if I go over. Just want to hold him now. Xxx

@stacey804, that's a better way to look at it though isn't it. they will come when they are ready! but yeah still don't stop you longing to hold them!! It gets me through knowing that the whole pregnancy has actually flown by for me, it's just these last few weeks now! xxx
Stacey Marie·
Yeah to be honest I can't complain because my pregnancy has also flown by. It's just this end bit where I know the end is in sight but feels like it's being moved further away. The only frustrating thing is people in the street, on the phone, ringing or texting, no baby yet?! I'm like no... Thanks for reminding me 😂 xxx
