Hi there,
I'm looking for antenatal classes in Wellington City.

Ideally, I wanted to go to Parents Centre in Island Bay, but this is already full for the dates I need.

So I'm now choosing between Birth Resources (works out of Wellington Hospital) or the Parents Centre in Khandallah.

Has anyone used either of these, and what was your experience?

Thanks!
Alana

I'm attending the one by Birth Resources in June... They've been fabulous to deal with so far, and really helpful with my zillion questions.. I liked that I also got a hospital tour with the course...and a dvd to recap stuff...They also did the Saturday course, which worked for me better as I'm finding I'm exhausted in the evenings after work :)

I did birth resources one and found it good. I like that it was midwives that lead it. we got a great antenatal class out of it although that may have more to do with the people and the class.

Thank you both for your replies MissFreckle and fairy1.

Because Birth Resources is relatively new, there's not a lot of info around about them, so it's really helpful to get feedback from people who know - thanks!
Will most likely book with Birth Resources now.

Hello congrats on your pregnancy.

I went to the parents centre antenatal class in Khandallah and they were great. The ladies that take it are really helpful and also ended up with a great group of girls for a coffee group so if you don't end up at Birth Resources I would recommend the parents centre.

I have to agree wholeheartedly with CJ1981 - possibly because we were in the same class at Khandallah Parents Centre (I have since moved south and miss the girls from our AN group)
