Antenatal classes - these are led by NCT-trained teachers and give you the chance to find out about all aspects of labour, birth and early parenting. Please contact Fiona Makin on bookings3b@nct.org.uk or 0844 243 6949 to book a place. There are concessions for people on low incomes or for those in receipt of benefits.
Great Expectations - a free informal antenatal group for pregnant women (partners also welcome). We have a library of books, DVDs, CDs, baby carriers and more for you to try out. The group is currently on a break, but we're hoping to get it started again soon.
