ghoti_mhic_uaitI was thinking of aquanatal, but my usual swimming pool does them on a wednesday evening, when I am busy, and the other swimming pool which is half an hour's walk doesn't claim to do them at all (the Rosie's website begs to differ, but if I did do those it'd have to be once I was on maternity leave, unless my days change in September). My midwife suggested that NCT might do exercise classes[*], but the website is unforthcoming on the subject.
Do any of you lot have suggestions of good classes in the Cambridge area?
[*] or I might be confused, as she mentioned Birthlight antenatal classes (which look a bit hippy to me, I'll stick to NHS or NCT), and they do exercise classes. Including yoga less than ten minutes away from me.

Date: 2008-07-30 10:28 pm (UTC)I actually got to "hold" T before we even left the theatre. Although, when I say "hold" he was put on my chest but I couldn't properly get a hand to him as one side had a drip in it and the other side had a bp monitor attached.

One of the kids puts his hand up. "Yes, miss, I ate a melon."
