drs appts

[kepier]

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 being unreasonable at all! My boyfriend has been to every appt except one, he doesn't have to take off of work because we make them late enough so he can go. He usually drives me and he likes to be involved, even if all they're doing is measuring me and listening to the heartbeat.

my boyfriend comes to every appointment with me but we both work afternoon shift so we don't have to miss work for it...
I would be angry if he didn't want to come to an ultrasound tho!

My fiance only wants to go to the u/s so i made him 'earn it' and had him come with me to a regular apt. Lol. I don't think that was too much for me to ask so i especially don't think its too much for you to either.

No I don't think your crazy or unreasonable. I personally want my boyfriend to be with me at every appt. lol. It makes me feel more like he wants to see our baby, want this baby, and make sure everythin' Is okay with our baby and share a bonding experience. When he tells me he doesn't want to go, It makes me feel like he doesn't care about our son and I get upset 'cuz I feel like he should want to be there. I understand about the whole work situation and sometimes he won't be able to make It, but with an u/s I would really think he would want to see his baby again and see the progress. So I really understand how you feel. My boyfriend has been to every appt. with me.

My boyfriend hasnt attended one yet. He actually told me he thinks ultrasounds and newborn babies are ugly. I know he is excited but he is not as excited as me. I can understand this because he is not carrying the child and has a totally different experience. I think his experience starts when the baby is in his arms..lol I would try sucking up or buttering up to him to get him to go...but do not be whiny, mean, or passive aggresive when talking to him about this matter lol I do not think you are being unreasonable....I think it is just a "guy" thing.
