Hi - I've been given a list of suggestions for Auckland antenatal classes, but they are all different amounts of time, so I'm not sure the content is the same! Does anyone have any recommendations? I want a class that has good content for first time parents and is a nice environment where we can feel comfortable to ask any questions we have. I'd love some feedback from other parents who have been there!

- Mama Maternity
- Birthcare
- Central Auckland Parents Centre

i'd def go with parent centre. I did birthcare with my first and it was ok- basic info, i enjoyed it, but didnt really make any friends as we all came from everywhere and lost contact quickly. but i did the baby and you class with parent centre (my local one isnt auckland central tho) and it was fantastic, and i joined with a grp that had done their antenatal together and it was an awesome local coffee grp :)
hope that helps. :)

That's awesome, thanks! Bubs is due late February, so I'm still trying to find a class. Most have start dates for November. Maybe a case of holiday shut down :)
