My hubby went and he seemed to get alot out of it. I think it was good for us BOTH to go together to see the facilities at the hospital, and to meet some other people with babies due the same time as us. Also gave him the opportunity to ask the midwives things that he wanted to know and for him to listen to them talk about things he could do for me (massage and things like that). It was also nice for him to meet some other first time dads-to-be, and we saw some of our class buddies at hospital after Claire was born, so that was nice too.
