Going to appts together?

imsoexcited915 · January 2015

curious when your significant other (hubby/fiancé/boyfriend/partner) is going or went to first dr appt to see US...

With #1 he went to the 20w ultrasound and then also one appointment toward the end, maybe 38w just to basically meet the doctor. With #2 he came to just the ultrasound. I don't really think he needed to be there more often to be honest. Most appointments are boring.

My husband went with me to our 6 week doctor appointment and ultrasound and will go again with me to our 8 week appointment and ultrasound. He wants to go to as many as he can with me. It is our first baby so this is all brand new and exciting for us but it depends on each person and obviously work and other commitments can get in the way of being at every appointment.

With my first and with this one he will go to my next appt where we will hear heartbeat, 20wk ultrasound, and the glucos test only because I'm a baby when it comes to needles and I need the extra support lol

for #1, DH went to the ultrasound appointments, and a couple "emergency" appointments. I was high risk towards the end and i went into the doctors so often that if became unrealistic for him to go.

I dont think he will go to many this time either since he is the primary care giver for DS1. Probably just the ultrasound around 20w.

With my first he came to all bar one appointment and the one he missed I ended up staying in for a stress test. With my second he came to all. This time around I think he'll come to as many as possible - definitely the first few as he knows I'm anxious after our miscarriage in October.

My DH won't go until around 20 weeks when they do the first real ultrasound.

First baby, hubby came to a several, this time, I might drag him to the 20 week u/s but more so, so that our son can see the u/s. Doubt he'll come to any regular appts though. No point in him missing work for boring stuff.

First baby my husband came to almost every appointment. Second one he came to some. This pregnancy not sure how many he can come to because of work. It doesn't bother me really as long as he makes it to the delivery on time

With our first he came to every u/s appt. other than that I was by myself

First baby hubby came to almost all of the appointments, second he came to just the 20 week, this time I want him to come to the first and 20 week. Realistically, I'll probably need him home to watch the first two a couple of times.

Mine came to the first few appts, then gave up when we realized how boring they were. He came to my 20w ultrasound and my 40w appointment after that. I'm sure things will be similar this time, but I will ask him to come to the first visit at 8w so he will be there in the event that something unexpected has gone wrong.

My husband was literally upset that I went to the doctors while he was at work to have them verify and get a note for work because he wanted to come.

With our first he insisted on coming to everything, and with this one based on the above it will probably be the the same until he leaves for bootcamp in May. Then I'm on my own and hopefully he makes it back in time for the birth!

My first pregnancy he came to appointments when he was off and all ultrasounds. This time he's came to my dating scan and will come to any other ultrasounds but probably won't come to appointments

My DH will probably just go to the US appointments, like he did with our son.

With our first DH came to my first appointment and all ultrasound appointments. This time he is just planning to come to the ultrasound appointments.

lzgraggen · January 2015

My husband came with me last week to our first ultrasound, and took off work to come with me tomorrow. We didn't see a heartbeat last week so we have to go back. I think he realizes I will take this pretty hard if I'm by myself and we get bad news, but he also wants to go so he can see the heartbeat for the first time. Here's hoping that's what we see tomorrow. I'm incredibly nervous.

kcmomz3 · January 2015

My hubby is going to come to as many appointments as he can. He will definitely come to all our ultrasounds. Due to 3 previous losses, I can't imagine an ultrasound without him there. I'm thankful that his work is flexible so that he can come

MrsPyrowiz · January 2015

FTM, my husband is definitely going to the first appointment and he will come to any appointment where they need my blood because I get dizzy due to a previous horrifying experience with getting blood drawn and won't drive after. I think he's planning on going to all the appointments just because he has questions too and I don't remember every insignificant detail that he will ask about when I get home.

I'm going to call the doctor's office when I get a minute to see if they routinely give ultrasounds at the first appointment. If they do, then he's coming. If not, he won't because he would have to take a half day off work for it.

My SO arranged to go into work late for my us on the 2nd but we haven't discussed anything past the first appointment. He has been thru this twice so he knows what to expect. Me on the other hand.... Learning as I go. I am hoping he will go with me as much as he can. If not I can probably convince my mom to go with me easily enough. :-D

DH went to heartbeat and US appts. None of my 5 minute weight and BP checks. Probably do the same this time.

VaultGirl101 · January 2015

My husband will be there for every appointment. This is my first pregnancy and his first child. We're both scared to death so it helps having him there for support every time. Plus I'm needy and crazy emotional right now! Lol! 8-}

ForeverEverAfter · January 2015

DH only went to 2 US (of 4) with my first LO, no Dr appts, I introduced them when I was in labour. This time I'll take him for a couple 3rd tri appts so he can hear my requests/concerns, and be on the same page.
