does your dh go to lo's doctor appts?

DH hasn't been to an appt. with DS since DS was two weeks old.  It doesn't make sense for DH to come because I'm a SAHM, we only have one car, DH's office is out of the way to get to the pedi's, etc. etc.  If there were any reason for DH to come (if we were worried about something, etc.,), then he'd come.  But for a well visit, nope.  He gets the full report as soon as we leave the office via phone though.

He never wants to go, but he is constantly asking me if this or that was normal, so last time he just happen to still be layed off and had nothing going on, so I told him he HAD to go and I think he was glad to did, he asked the dr questions and felt reassured whe she said he was healthy and normal for his age.

I'm proud to AW the fact that since DS was just an embryo DH has been to every.single.appointment.  He came to every appointment in my pregnancy and now every appointment since Jack's been born.

He has been to all of his well baby visits.  He has missed a sick visit and a weight check when he was a newborn, but he's pretty much at every appointment.

He does only because all of her appts are on Saturday.  The only time I schedule an appointment during the week is when she is sick and needs to be seen immediately.  He usually tries to go to those but if he can't, I don't sweat it.  I'm salary so I can pretty much call in tomorrow saying I won't be in and it doesn't do anything to my pay check.  He is not and a day off, even for a sick child, is a vacation day plus loss of commission.  So we evaluate whether he would be needed or not.

Yes, we always schedule them for late afternoon and he leaves work early or just takes the day off (or works from home.) Not only is it easier on me if he's there too, he generally likes being there to hear the info and ask questions. 

He was at all of my pregnancy appointments too.

He went to every appointment when I was pregnant and every appointment that Alyssa has ever had.  He is off two days during the week, so we schedule them then.

If they are planned visits, we go together. If it is because she is sick, it is whoever can get off work easier.

yep, he's been to every one...he also went with me to all of my ob visits

Yes.  I think he has missed one because he couldn't get out of a meeting, but I generally schedule them very late in the afternoon, so he just leaves an hour or two early.
