drs appts

Ok, so did you bf/hubby attend every single Dr appt? Or just the ones with ultrasounds?  My husband thinks I'm crazy for wanting him to come to my appt next week.  They are doing another ultrasound because baby was lazy last Dr visit.  He says he already has seen the baby.   I am frustrated because I think he should be there.  I understand he can only take off so much work. I would rather him come to the ultrasound than to a different appt where they will just measure or check me.  (im 23 weeks). He just doesn't want to come.  My question is... How many of your appts did your significant other come to?

I don't think you're unreasonable but some guys just won't see your point of view. If you think about if you we're a guy, no matter how badly you want that baby and love it already, ultrasounds and check ups can be boring.
Not to insult you... But babies generally aren't on the list of interests guys have. As long as he's open to coming to things that have to so with his baby, I don't see a problem. I'm sure it hurts your feelings… But he may see it like he already went to some and so he thinks he's being there and being as supportive as he should be.  I definitely think his point of view will change once the baby is here.

My man, who is not the father, goes to every appt he can and is super involved with the pregnancy.  He claims the girls as his. Which they are when it comes down to it.   He gets upset with me if I have an appt that he can't make it to. He asks me to make them for his days off or later so he can make them, even if it is just to talk to the dr.

My hubby goes to all my appointments unless we have one that is scheduled while he is working and we can't get in another time. Except my physical therapy appts. He doesn't always go to though and he doesn't really want to so I don't push the issue. All the reg dr appt he wants to come to though.

My hubby was at our 1st appointment (pelvic exam & transvaginal ultrasound) then he was at our gender ultrasound, and he will be going to our 35 week 3d ultrasound. I want him to be at every one, but he has to work bc he's gotta support us and make money for the baby :)
