Dear Reka (if I may),
I would like to ask whether you’d advise to attend the prenatal classes offered at First Med in the suggested sequence or whether it is possible to sign up for individual classes (i.e. the one taking place next Wednesday April 4). Is there a new cycle starting in April/May?
Many thanks in advance for your reply.
kind regards,
Evelyne
