Appointments!

[Tinkabell80]

My next ultrasound appointment is Aug 5th. We both knew this for a month now... I mentioned it again to remind him of the date and he says he isn't going because he has to work! Am I wrong for thinking that he should be there for the ultrasound if he doesn't come to any other appointments?

My husband hasn't made a single appt... his job is such that he can't take off....only been there 11 mth. He actually was out of town for the anatomy scan. Unexpected work trip so there was no way to go. He'll take his vacation when baby arrives. I'd rather him do that then go to the appt. Men think differently. By providing financially at work, he may feel is is doing the best thing for baby. I wouldn't take it personally. :-)

My BF isnt able to got to any of my appointments or ultrasound cuz he stays home n takes care of the 2 kids i have bcuz the dr office n ultrasound place is way too small for a double stroller!

Aww that *****.  My husband only takes days off for the ultrasounds. . Plus he is a manager and gets paid a salary so he doesn't lose money if he does take days off. I love my husband being there. . It's Such a special moment and I want to share that with him.  I would want him there If I were you. What If he takes the day off and makes up for it on one of his days off? Then he's not losing any money and can be there for you.  Just a suggestion.  Hope everything works out for you.

My bf only came to the gender ultrasound. And the 3d ultrasound. Its silly to lose money becuz of it. And I was okay with it. Cuz I got to share it with my daughter... This pregnancy will pry be the same... He won't wanna go to any appointments unless there's an ultrasound im Sure.. (He doesn't know yet, but I'm just assuming it won't any different than it was with our son)

My husband only went to my 20 week ultrasound, like the other women said men are just different. It's obvious he loves our baby and is super excited about me being pregnant, he just doesn't see the need to take off of work just to go to my appts since I am not going to come home with a baby.  Try not to let it upset you too much and if it really bothers you just talk to him and let him know you really want him there,  hopefully he will be there for you if you express to him that you want the support.

Husband doesn't get to come my ultrasound because of the way he work but we did pay to have a 3d that's work around his schedule

My husband only went to the anatomy ultrasound. He doesn't go to any other appts. I am a stay at home mom and he has to work. He runs a railroad yard and its a very demanding job so he is needed there every day. I get the disappointment but men don't see them as important as women. Hopefully you guys can talk and work something out

My fiance hasn't been able to come to any because of work which I understand I would rather him take time off for when the baby is born

That is dissapointing the ultrasounds are the best part . Just know its his loss and he will regret it one day for not going. Maybe you can have someone else close to you go like your sister or mom. sorry girl

No, you're not. I'm sorry you have to experience this! You are in my prayers.

The only appointments my hubby came to were the ultrasounds because he got to see the baby and it was more interesting / real for him. Guys think a lot differently to us and I was always talking about our normal appointments but they just didn't appeal to him.
He did come to the antenatal classes though but they just scared him lol.
