Bringing DH to my next appointment - what do I want him to hear?

My husband can't usually make my appointments (he started a new job in January and doesn't have the flexibility he had before). I made one for Monday and we're both off. And and and aaaaaand we're seeing my favorite doctor. Total lady crush on her.

I've been thinking of questions that DH would want to know the answers to / I would like him to know about.

I've got:
-What classes should we take?
-When do we make a "birth plan" and how the hell do we do that?


And now I'm blanking. I thought I had more. I'm pretty sure I had more. This is why I should have written them down.

    When DH comes with me, usually I have my list of questions, and he has some things that he's been wondering about.

    Examples of actual questions? I have no clue. ;-) I usually have to write mine down or text them to myself to remember, so right now, I'm drawing a blank.

    P.S. Depending on what classes you take, they may go over birth plans. My hospital has a nice little cheat sheet all typed up and printed out for me to fill out. We got it at our first class.

    When DH comes along to my appointments I just ask the doc to go back over current recommendations and give me a general status report on the pregnancy. Refresh for me, update for him.

    He usually has a question or two of his own and I have my usual list, plus anything we've been arguing about (clarifying bed rest restrictions, diet/water recommendations, etc)

    I really use those appointments as a chance to get everyone on the same page about the pregnancy.

    Yes! Exactly this. I have my own "usual" questions, I'm just trying to think of anything I want him to hear from the doctor's mouth rather than mine!

    I don't know if any of them apply to you, but here are some things we have asked/plan to ask:
    What hospital will we deliver at/ what do we need to do early (like schedule a tour, pre-register, etc)
    Vaccinations - should DH get the TDAP booster?
    Breast Pump prescription for insurance?

    @ErikaLynn75 Didn't even think about the breast pump prescription! *makes a note*
    In memory of the angel babies that were too perfect for Earth.
