    I was at the same hospital as Fletch, and I also put somewhat beneficial. Having done a lot of reading and research (thanks to BB!) they didn't teach me anything I didn't already know, but I did think they had a very balanced view of pain relief (actually encouraging drug free and how to do it... much to one young girl's horror LOL) and encouraged breastfeeding and keeping baby with you etc etc. The tour was good, so learning about the hospital itself was beneficial.

    I think the class would have been reasonably sufficient for those who didn't do their own research. I agree with Fletch - the booklets were great for Mum and Dad.

    I didn't pick very beneficial, as I found my own research was necessary to work out what it was I wanted. But the midwife was great at answering any of the questions I raised
