Do you have idea about is NHS first time parent courses free? I am now 22 weeks is it late to apply?

Are you talking about antenatal classes offered by your midwives?

yes

I believe they are generally free. I was told that I couldn't apply until I reach 28 weeks, so I'll be giving them a call then. My midwife gave me a list of NHS classes in my area.

They will be free - with mine you didn't book in and just turned up, there were three sessions held over three weeks, i'm sure its different for different areas. You may have a leaflet already from them with dates on but if not ask at your next mw appointment to find out what happens in your area - you'll probably want to go from 32weeks onwards. Mine were at 35weeks+. x
