  I did my tour at about 30/31 weeks, and class will be at 36 weeks (cutting it close!)  Hopefully baby boy won't arrive before our birthing class!

  We did the classes last week (33w2d) but we did the tour a while ago - I was probably only 16 weeks or so. But we were switching doctors so we did things a little backwards - found a hospital we liked and then found a recommended doctor that had privileges there.

  I just took my L&D tour last week at 33 weeks.  We will not be doing a birthing class, but I am taking a breastfeeding class at 37 weeks.

  we are doing a breastfeeding class at 36 weeks, and a hospital tour within the next week or two (so 34-35 weeks).  Can't believe how fast time is flying by!

  We did our tour yesterday and our childbirth class this weekend (it was yesterday and today).  We'll be 31 weeks Tuesday.

  We have our last of 4 childbirth classes this Tuesday and I am 30 weeks.

  We took a hospital tour at about 24 weeks so I could decide between the two in town and then we had another one a couple week back in childbirth class. Nice for DH to get "used" to the place I suppose.

  Our class starts at 33 weeks and we still have to book the tour. Even though we are planning a homebirth, its good to be semi familiar with the place if we end up there.

  I was 30 weeks and 1 Day.  I wanted to get it done, since the holidays were coming and I wasn't sure if they will have classes fill up quicker.  There were 3 of us pregnant and then some nursing students.  It was a good group and very informative for this first time mom.

  We had ours this weekend and I am currently 31 weeks 4 days.  My DH got a lot out of it, I learned a few things that I didn't know as well.  Feeling much more comfortable with the whole labor and delivery process and knowing when to come into the hospital.

  Haven't scheduled it yet, since we just selected the hospital and are still contemplating a home-birth.  I'm anticipating a L&D tour roughly around week 32 or 33.

  I will not take the prenatal classes at a hospital, but instead have been offered free sessions through a doula I know personally.  She insists (and she can be a little opinionated) that the hospital classes are more about being a good little patient and compliance with what the hospital has in mind than in empowering and building confidence in the woman.  (Of course, that could just be for our hospitals around here.)

  Our prenatal classes are 4 classes (1/week) from 32 to 36 weeks. We'll be doing the hospital tour at 34weeks, so next week!

  24-28 weeks. It was a four week class and the hospital tour happened during one of the classes.

  I did stuff early for a few reasons. Another couple my husband and I are friends with were in that session and the men were more easily talked into it together. Second, I have a very crazy work schedule that includes regular night meetings. There was only one more session left this year, starts in November sometime I think, and I already had meetings scheduled for three of those four class periods.
