We are doing the hospital classes which we have both found really good. The middie is honest about the hospital policies and has even suggested a few ways of getting what we want that we would otherwise had no way of getting round. For instance my hospital only allows the hospital Tens machines to be used. This means you have to have attended an appointment to learn how to use them with the physio dept. You can't just turn up with your own or use the hossy ones with having done this.

I have also read every single one of the birth stories (yep over 40 pages worth) on here and have been researching and trying to learn as much as possible on my own. Now I have found out I have GD so will go back and do more researching as to how this may change my plans so far.

I guess what I am saying is do what ever seems more comfortable to you, and read read read
