Signing up: don't miss the boat!
Once you've found the group prenatal class of your dreams, don't wait around to sign up! In Montreal, places go faster than fresh bagels at St-Viateur. Check the maternity centres' websites for details on how to register.

Timing is everything: when should you start group prenatal classes?
The question of when to start prenatal classes is just as crucial as deciding what to name your baby-to-be. At Ysé Naissance we recommend taking your group prenatal classes in the 3rd trimester, so that what you learn is still fresh for the birth. Generally speaking, places for our prenatal workshops for couples go very quickly, because we run them in small groups so we can take our time with each couple. Book early in your pregnancy to be sure of a place in your third trimester.

You'll also be able to put all your questions to professionals, who will be delighted to guide and reassure you throughout your pregnancy.
