Appointment!!!!

Hey ladies, during ur routine  appointment, when u go with ur hubby/bf, do u let them go in wit u? my hubby always come to my appointment wit me, but I dnt allow him to go in wit me. Is it normal? Am actually at my routine appointment right now , nd when they called me in,he asked me if he can go in wit me, nd I said no wit the excuse that the doc will probably check my cervix, nd doesnt wanna see all that.

If you dont want him in there thats fine i dont see it as a big deal an i dont see it as being a bonding experience while there taking my blood pressure or blood having him sit there,my husband comes for ultrasounds.

I mostly go by my self, there's nothing wrong with that, besides my hubby works alot. I only take him 2 my ultrasounds :-)

My husband and three year old are in the room with me the whole time he takes our daughter right outside while they check the cervjx and stuff but come right back in after its done so he is in there while the dr talks and to hear the heartbeat bc its a family thing to us our three year old actually helped us pick out a name. But its a personal preference i think.

my husband has gone with me to all my appointments. i wouldnt have it any other way and feel better when he is there. yes was a bit ackward in my first cervix check but that didnt last long. what the other ladies are saying is very true he will be there when your baby is born, he was there when you made the baby, might as well have him get used to the doctor see you down there and have him be there to experience this with you.

My boyfriend comes to all appointments and goes in with me. Im 24 weeks and he has only missed one because of work. Its exciting for him to be there and hear all the information the doctor has. Plus if they do check your cervix you are normally covered and he wouldn't see. If there was ever anything wrong I would want him there for support in the room.

Mine went to all of my appointments! In the uk ur cervix isnt checked till ur full term and midwive or doc would pull curtain around bed so he couldnt see although he asked to step out while it was done! I made him stay 2day while i was been induced with a pessary tho so he could see what im goin thru! Lol!

My fiance comes whenever he can (depends on what shift he is on for work).  I let him come in the room - he likes hearing his hb and listening to what the doctor has to say...I want him to be as much a part of this as he can be....

I always let my man go in with me, my reason for doing that is he is the babys father and he needs to know whats going on.!

I always let my hubby go back with me, I think he would be upset if I didn't! Your hubby is going to see worse at the birth then you just getting your cervix checked lol..just let him come back with you it's actually a really nice bonding experience for a wife and husband :)

I wish my partner could come every time but he works away most the week so can't make them, he's took time off for all my scans and important consultant apps though but routine apps I usually go on my own if he's working!

Yess, I let my boyfriend go in. I mean he is the father and has every right juss as nuch as you do to be a part of the appointment and hear what info is said. Is he gonna be in the room when you deliver? If so might as welll let him get used to seeing them check you. I know it might be awkward to have.yur husband sitting right there while someone else is checking you down there but you have to remember im sure you being pregnant is a special time for him as well, and if he doesent go back there he doeaent even get to hear the heart beat, or know what yur measuring until you tell him that is.

I let my husband go.  Actually if he  wanna go I would be rather upset lol.  He enjoys getting to hear the heartbeat and hearing everything is okay.  It's really a personal preference, but I wouldn't just be able to say no.
