Antenatal classes?

Hello,

I am new to the area we are in ( Havering) and previously had babies in Scotland where antenatal classes were organised for us by midwife and free.
Are there NHS ones in England too and how do you sign up to them? ( haven't seen midwife for a long time due to seeing consultant in hospital instead to ask) I don't really need the how to look after baby stuff although it is helpful but would like a support group of mum friends after baby is born.

I got booked on by asking my community midwife. But there are only just starting back up after covid. Xx

Have a look online on your hospitals website, that's where I found mine to book in. Since covid some hospitals are completely up and running or very good at offering them!

I highly recommend The Baby Academy which is on Instagram. They have a whole range of course x

Thank you everyone. It is more so that I have a support group of mums after for play dates etc too rather than a the baby information. My daughters were born at start of lockdown and really felt I missed out on having Antental friends that most people have after having a baby x

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

Spicy chat

Anyone up for a spicy chat, I’m horny

Friends

I’ve been on this app for almost 5 years now I still can’t find one friend. I just need a friend. I’m so fucking lonely.

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers

Any moms in the DMV area?
