Abstract
It has increasingly become the trend for men to attend antenatal care appointments with their partners and this paper focuses on the place of expectant fathers within the provision of antenatal care. Much of the literature surrounding men's experiences of antenatal care has focused on their experiences of attending antenatal education classes, and (to a much lesser extent) of being present at ultrasound scans and antenatal care appointments. Drawing from the findings and current guidelines for the inclusion of men in maternity care, implications for practice are provided.
