2nd Trimester

How often does hubby attend....

...your ob appointments?  Did he come to the big ultrasound with you?   I don't want to insist he come to every visit, but think it would be nice for him to come to some.   Your thoughts?

Re: How often does hubby attend....

  • My DH has been to 1 ultrasound and that's it so far.

  • Anytime we have an u/s or when we will be discussing anything big like birth plans, etc.  He wanted to come to all of them, but after sitting there for an hour once waiting to get in, he changed his mind.

  • Dh comes to all appointments.
  • He's come to every appointment, but my OB has evening appointments so this makes it much easier.
  • he came with me to my first two ultrasounds, and my first 3 ob appointments. he met the doctor, and then his last appointment was when he heard the heartbeat. my appointment last about 15 mins there is no reason for him to come every time.
  • He came to our initial informational/longer appointments but at this point, he's only coming to appointments that include u/s.  Other appointments are just checkups that take 15/20 minutes, so there's no need for him to take off of work for that.

  • So far my DH has come to all but one, and of course he'll come to the ultrasound.  Maybe towards the end when they don't do a whole lot but hear the heartbeat he might not come, but we have the opportunity to have our appointments on Wednesday evenings so there is no reason he wouldn't if he could.
  • mine comes to every appt.

  • He came to the first appointment, the NT scan and the full anatomy scan.  I see no need for him to come to the monthly appointments as nothing interesting aside from hearing the heartbeat really happens.

  • He came to the ultrasound and one appointment, but the appointment was to hear the heartbeat and to meet my doctor (my OB and family doctor are two different doctors... don't know if it's that way in the states).  Other than that, because he's at work he won't be coming to any appointments.

  • DH comes when he can.  If he is working and it's just a regular monthly checkup, he doesnt go out of his way to make it.   The one time he couldnt make it, I brought my mom.  Next time he can't go, I am considering bringing MIL... maybe.
  • He did not come to any of the 1st tri appointments because he was not able to due to work. We did a 3d u/s at 15 1/2 weeks and he went to that and has gone to the last 2 appointments and our big u/s. He enjoys going and likes to as long as he can.

  • My DH went to our first appointment and to our big ultra sound, that is it.
  • DH missed my pap smear (the NERVE of him! Wink), but has been to every other appointment on his own free will. He's also unemployed, so it's not like he has better stuff to do.
  • Other than for the first one and the big u/s DH hasn't gone to any appts with me.  He's super busy and I always feel bad that he's so stressed about meeting deadlines.  The last thing I want him to have to worry about is going with me to a Dr.'s appt that only lasts 5 minutes tops.  Now maybe towards the end of the pg and when I start discussing my birth plans with the doctor, I'll probably have him come along with me.  We'll see though.
  • MY DH MAKES EVERY OTHER APPOINTMENT AND HAS BEEN TO TWO OF THE THREE U/S

  • He's been to every one so far.  He doesn't want to miss hearing the HB any chance he can.  Maybe as we get further along, he'll skip a few check-ups.

  • As much as he can! We have not had that many appts yet but I am sure when they pick up he won't be able to go to them all. We are getting so excited for our big ultrasound!! (nov. 16)
  • Mine are mostly scheduled for Mondays, and DH gets every other Monday off, so he has been able to come to all of them so far.

    I have my glucose test this Monday, and he has said he won't come for that, but will meet me at the peri appt we have afterwards.

    It's nice having someone else to remember what the docs say and think of questions that I forget to ask.

  • He missed the first "interview" app... and the first real app.  During the first real appointment, they decided to do an ultra sound after the physical exam...And he missed it.  Ever since he's come with.  I don't make him, and I doubt he'll be able to contiue to come to all of em... But it's nice. He likes it.  We hear the heartbeat every time and he gets to ask the dr questions too.
  • He came to my first couple because I had a u/s at each one.  He might come to the NT screening today and he'll most likely come to the 20 week u/s but none of the others.  I can't imagine he'd want to sit there for an hour to see me weighed and measured.
  • so far he's only missed 1 b/c he was out of town. I'm not going to make him come with me to the qucik HB appts, but he likes to....gets him out of work LOL.
  • The 1st (dating) ultrasound and he will come to the big one on Tuesday. Besides that, he'll probably only come to the 36 week appt (there is a note on my appt sheet from the OB for him to attend).
  • He came to the NT scan and will be at the big US on Monday, but otherwise he doesnt come to my monthly appts. I think it would be a big waste of time, considering what goes on and he'd have to leave work to do so.

  • My DH comes to all appointments.
  • My DH is home so he's gone to every apt. with me. I would only want him there for the Big U/S and the last one. But my DH insists he attends everyone of them.

  • My husband is a big ol' sap and has come to all but the very first one.

    I now schedule them when the office opens so he can be there.

  • He's been to every appointment, and will continue to go with me to every appt.  We've had quite a few complications though, so we both wanted him to be there so we could better absorb all the info we were getting.

  • DH has been to all but one appt, except one and that was becuase he wasn't feeling good.  I told him he doesn't have to come to every appt with me.  He said for sure he would be going to all u/s appts, but isn't sure about the others.  I know when it comes time to be going twice a month and every week, he most likely won't be coming. 

    Let your DH decide if he wants to go to every appt with you.  But, I would for sure insist he goes to the big u/s with you, he would probably kick himself later if he missed that.

  • DH hasn't made it to one yet.  He'll come to the big reveal.
  • DH comes to all my appointments.
  • My DF has made it to our one and only ultrasound appointment so far. He would love to come to more of them, but he currently lives/works 3 hours away. He transfers back home in 3 weeks though. Can I just say: I CANNOT WAIT!
  • DH has been to all my appointments except the initial one with the dating u/s. 
  • He goes to everything. The only thing he missed so far was my very first appt, which is fine 'cause it was really just an annual w/a Q&A session.

    I don't make him come, he just feels it's the right thing to go, so he does!

  • DH has been to 2 appointments with me so far, my first one and the one where we hear the hb. The only other one he will come to with me is the big U/S. It is too hard for him to get off of work and I can't schedule around him, so I don't mind!
  • unfortunately my hubby works 6 days a week 10-12 hours a day and hasn't been to very many =( but it's okay. a lot of them are just quick in and out check ups anyway. he went to the first one and he went to the big ultrasound.?
  • DH has been to all but one appt with me. His choice. And the one he didn't go to he called about 50 times before I was done to see how it went (it was just a regular check, no u/s or anything).

  • DH comes to every appointment.  He recently left for London and is devastated he'll miss this month's appointment.  The one in December is THE BIG ONE so he's making me schedule it for when he'll be back.

    Sadly, I'll be moving to London in December after the u/s as well :( 

  • DH attends all of my appointments.  I try to schedule them either first thing in the morning or late afternoon so they don't interfere too much with our work schedules.
