Antenatal Class

Just attended my first antenatal class.... It wasn’t what I expected, I left feeling sad and isolated. The class seemed to be specifically designed for pregnant women with partners. As I am going to be a single mother it was horrible sitting there alone being pestered about what my partner would be doing for me when I went into labour. I will be doing it with the love and support of my amazing mother but felt too awkward to say anything seeing as they had all just assumed my boyfriend/husband would be there. All the things they taught we based around pregnant ladies and there partners bonding with the baby and bonding together during labour and birth. I don’t think I will be going back to those classes as I left with more anxiety than I came with. Did anyone feel the same after attending a class or am I just overly sensitive ?
