where I used to work, they were either 5 x 2 hr (approx) sessions or 2 x Saturdays that the couples could attend. A lot of group discussion work and activities and labour was the main thing discussed as this was what most of the questions focused on. The last session was spent on parenting and settling etc etc. Some videos were also shown. They used to orrganise a reunion for about 8 weeks after the class for everyone to get together and catch up with their babies. One of the sessions I attended, one couple went into prem labour before the last week, so came along to the last session armed with a picture of their new munchkin!!!! It was a wonderful moment I will never forget, the shock and surprise on everyone's faces!!

Dear List
I am posting this question on behalf of one of my colleagues who is very involved in our hospital run childbirth preparation classes.
She would like to know what format other hospitals are following. How long are the classes, how many are offered, and how much involvement by physiotherapists and others besides midwives?
Thanks in advance
Susan Cudlipp
