I am a first time mum and my baby is due in april. I plan to have the baby at QMH and am happy witht he ante natal care at Tseun Yuk. I wanted to know what the ante natal classes are like there, does anybody have any experience of them? Is it worth doing private ones too? I have no idea!!

I took with Annerley,

At first I was sceptical of the benefit of taking the class - but it was great!


Most people were in the third trimester.


I strongly suggest the 'package' which includes the classes and 6 home visits - they are a godsend when you get home from hospital.


BTW - We had Louise and she was wonderful.


If the schedule does not suit you, you can also do private sessions instead - the only difference is you don't get to meet other pregnant couples. And I was impressed that most people did attend as couples. And we learned a lot from their questions and comments.


There are lots of posts on this topic:

Tsan Yuk Hospital offers ante natal classes in English, ask for the schedule at your next check-up. I've done it for my first one, interesting but wasn't really useful to me during delivery.

For the 2nd one I had a more in-depth preparation through hypno-birthing with Carla Pahl, that was amazing.

My baby is due in June. When should i book the class? And do they offer several different classes for you to choose or just one for everybody? Thanks.

most people go around 7 months pregnant. Which is nice b/c everyone is due around the same time then!


Each place offers a specific curriculum, the nice thing about Annerley is that if you miss the topic one week, they allow you to make it up later. They also offer a private session at the end just to address your specific concerns.

also did ANnerly. But had to go private sessions as my husbands work schedule did not allow us to make any of the classes. I would be going myself and I preferred to have hubby with me. Private lessons were also really nice and it allowed us to ask a lot of really detailed questions - especially my husband who didn't really understand much of what was happening became very well informed and in tune with a pregnant woman's needs. (massaged me for 25 hours, accupressure since I wanted a natural birth.)
