What the ideal time for birth classes?

They have booked me into those classes when im 22/23 weeks. Is this too early??

Yes way to early!!!!!

32 - 34 weeks is a good time, not to early that you think pfft its so far away but not to late that you are uncomfortable and unable to sit and concentrate.

Grrr I told them it seems too early and they are like it isnt!

Damn them

it depends on the type of class. If you are going to a hospital based class, it is way too early. An independent class will aim to make you want to prepare further with hypnobirthing, yoga or mediation, and for this type of class you are bang on the right gestation.

I'd just get them over and done with, coz if you miss out on one class, you can see it in the next lot, you know? I missed two sessions and couldn't do catch ups coz the next lot were in 2 weeks.. which were 2 weeks after my EDD. I wish I'd done them earlier.

Yeah its the one at the hospital :/

I don't think it's too early at all, I didn't get to do birth classes with DS1 they were booked for 3 weeks after his birth....

I agree with Feeb, the later you go the fresher it will be in your mind. But still have enough time to process it all KWIM?
