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?

My husband can't come to a lot of mine due to work so I go alone most the time he has been to one ultrasound (20 weeks) I've had three so far and he has been to a few check up appointments but as far as every one no he has to work if he is fortunate enough to make it great if not at least he will be there for the delivery lol I wouldn't stress so much but I would try to make the appointments during his off day of after or before he has to work that way y'all aren't missing out on any work that maybe his main concern.

It all depends on how it makes you feel. If its important to you, you should sit him down and explain the importance of him involved in this pregnancy as much as you are. He probably don't feel like its that important to sit at a doctors office and watch the same thing happen that happened four weeks ago. That's how men think. It he knew how it makes you feel he may change his mind.

My man has gone to every one of them except one 'we're down to the once a week appts' he absolutely hates it too, but I think he feels he should be there.. He takes off work to do it and the doctors is an hour away... I killed my car so that is another reason he takes me, but I'm fairly certain he would anyways. I said I could go w/my mom n friend, but he wasn't for that.. I do have to say it wouldn't bother me if he didn't attend, it really is different for guys, some feel they should and some don't think it's necessary. Unless they pretty much say I don't care about the baby or you or whatever it is that you may be feeling, I wouldn't worry about it.
