My wife and I are expecting our first child, so we were looking for antenatal classes to gain the confidence and knowledge about what is about to come. I'm short of words to describe the amazing experience we had: with every single class, we got a ton of useful information about the birth process and everything involved around it, things and facts that I simply never thought they exist! Vicky is a knowledgeable person who speaks with confidence from experience, in a cosy relaxing environment. We felt welcomed and our questions answered. Taking these classes are without a doubt, the best decision we made (apart of having a baby of course!
