Antenatal class in Kew/Richmond

[MrsTT]

I’m 14 weeks of pregnant, it’s our first baby.

Wondering if anyone in the area have gone for Noobies antenatal class instead of NCT.

NCT is costing us £100 more than the noobies. I just want to make sure I will be paying for a good quality antenatal class since it’s our first baby and we know nothing.

Any help will be welcome

Have you tried asking your midwife about this? They might know what's available in your area

I’ll definitely ask her next session. Thank you

I'm doing nct as I also have no clue what I am doing but it was expensive. You do get a chance to ask all questions though. However I've noticed no-one is shy at coming forward to give some unsolictered advice

Thank you Emma! I did think NCT was quite a lot but seems to be the most popular.

I didn’t find anything comparable when looking at the antenatal courses.

I’ve been doing prenatal yoga and just signed up for daisy birthing. But this is more for handling the birth itself as for the longest time I was having a c section but from 32weeks everything medically has been ok and a c section is now not required. So I had a ‘oh no what the heck do I do here’ type moment and signed up for daisy. I suppose it depends on your instructor but had the first daisy class last night and really enjoyed it. Only 7 people and although the same aspects are used in the yoga class at daisy they go through why it’s good for you and what it’s doing rather than just doing the moves.
