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 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.

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!

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 husband has only missed one appointment and thats because the doctors office only gave us 3 days notice and he had a meeting at work. He was really disappointed, but my mom went with me so I was not alone. I am also considered high risk because of my previous pregnancy, so he makes sure he goes just in case I were to get any kind of bad news he wants to be with me. I think everyone is different, so you can't force him to go but it is nice when they do.

This is my second pregnancy, so its different then a first because its more like were waiting for another person to be here. My husband works but went to the gender ultrasound appt of course. My daughter goes with me to every one
