  • DH always goes to ultrasounds with me. He cannot make every appointment, but we make it a priority for him to be at those because he loves seeing the baby too. It helps make the pregnancy more real for him. :)
    Mommy to N (3), J (2), and C (10 months). LO4 is due in mid-September.
  • My husband really wants to go, but his work won't let him take more time off to go. :(

    BFP #1- 9/16/2012 MMC- 10/24/2012 (8.5 weeks, baby measured 6 weeks 1 day with no heartbeat) D&C-10/30/2012 BFP #2- 12/23/2012 Due 9/5/2013 Please be our rainbow baby!
  • DH came to all but 2 the first time (I had a lot because of infertility and a hematoma).   This time since we've got DS he has only come to the 6 week one and skipped week 5 & 7.  I'll go to tomorrow's alone too, but he'll probably come the next few weeks because that is when you can really see stuff and I graduate from my RE at 11 weeks, so the only other scans I'll get for a while are my NT and anatomy scan.

    I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929

  • DH comes to everything.  We haven't told parents yet and my best friend lives too far away...I'm scared to go alone.

  • Mine has gone to the one this week and plans to go when we have another one in two weeks. I think he plans on going to all appointments, although I doubt he really needs to.

  • DH came to one u/s, but not the second. He won't be at all of my appointments, but he is planning to be there for the ones with ultrasounds.

  • My husband went to all the ultra-sound appointments and most, but not all, of the regular appts with DS. He will be doing the same this time around.

  • DH has gone to the past two with me.  I have two more with my RE but he won't be going to those since it'll be during the day while he is at work.  My RE has an office 5 minutes from where I work so I can drop in and have the u/s done pretty quick.  Now that we have seen the hb, my husband is okay with missing a few.

  • Why would he be concerned about going?

    DH went to both my U/S appts last pregnancy, and then one appt with the OB because she wanted him there to talk about pain management.  We're not sure yet if he'll be able to come to the U/S this time because his work isn't as flexible as it was last time.  If there's any way for him to be there, though, he will be.

    Why wouldn't he go to the appointment?

    This.  If he wants to go he should go.

    I had 2 u/s with my son and MH went to both.

  • My husband will come to all of my ultrasounds. He did for my last pregnancy as well.
  • My husband will be at as many of my appts as possible.  We have a good relationship with his boss and she knows how important it is to him to be there.

  • My DH only goes to the anatomy ultrasound, which is typically the only one I get.

  • We haven't had an u/s yet, but my first appointment is on Feb 5th and Dh plans on being there. I'm not even sure if I'll have an u/s then, and I told him that and it's ok if he doesn't go, but he added it to his calendar anyway. I think he really wants to be involved, which is great!

  • DH was at every one with DS and we are planning on having him there for every one this time, too.

  • DH goes to everything with me. He even comes with me to get my blood drawn for betas ha.

  • DH has gone to every U/S in both previous pregnancies with me.  He loves seeing baby and if I were to get bad news I would want him there.

  • My BF is going to my first tri screen and the anatomy scan. I don't think that I am going to have any other ultrasounds.
  • My husband comes to all the u/s appts, but I don't make him come to all the others.

  • DH is planning on coming to the 1st U/S!  We can't wait!

    I know he probably won't be able to come to every appointment because of his work schedule, but we're going to try and see what happens!  At least I'll try to schedule the u/s appts for when he can come for sure!

  • DH is going to do his best to make it to tomorrow's U/S but we have a 21 month old and no children are allowed in the appointment. My parents work (and don't know yet) and his are out of state so we don't have many options as far as someone watching DS. We are scheduled for tomorrow but it is supposed to snow here and the appointment is 45 minutes away. Plus we arranged for daycare to watch him for an hour or so on his off day...I have a feeling we won't be going Sad

    DH will be at all prenatal appointments since they are in the evenings and we will have someone to watch DS.

  • My husband came to every single appointment during the first pregnancy. 
  • My DH comes to all u/s and will always. Now, just a regular appointment, probably not, but an u/s and anything he needs to be there for he'll be at.
