Answer: As many weeks pregnant as you feel is right for you! As soon as you feel happy to share your journey with the small group of class attendees. It can be useful to know most people attending tend to be over 12 wks pregnant. Q. After I pay the £50 non-refundable deposit, do I have the pay the £200 all at once and when do I need to pay? Answer: After you pay the deposit I contact you. I try to be as flexible as possible with payments. I generally ask that you pay the £200 by bank transfer as soon as possible before the course starts. If you require a payment plan, e.g. making two/three payments over two/three months maximum I can often accommodate requests.
