In Sweden, prospective fathers are encouraged and welcome to attend prenatal visits, and pregnant women assess their partners’ involvement in prenatal care as very important. The aim of this study was to describe expectant fathers’ experiences of and involvement in prenatal care in Sweden. Data were drawn from a 1-year cohort study of 827 Swedish-speaking fathers recruited during their partners’ mid-pregnancy and followed up two months after childbirth. The participants reported that the most important issues in prenatal care were the woman’s physical and emotional wellbeing and the support she received from her midwife. However, care was identified as deficient in nearly all aspects of information, medical care, and fathers’ involvement. “Excessive” care was also reported and related to how the father was treated by the midwife, mainly in terms of attention to his emotional wellbeing. Although fathers prioritize the needs of their pregnant partners, it is important for caregivers to assess fathers’ needs and incorporate a family-oriented approach to prenatal care.
