Did your husband go to your OB appointments with you?

when he is able to take the time off work, yes he comes. and he books time off for any ultrasounds. but because this is my 3rd very normal and uneventful pregnancy, its not a big deal to me if he cant make it, no point in him missing a bunch of time at work to watch me hand in a urine sample and get my blood pressure checked. if i were more high risk, i would want him there moreDid your husband go to your OB appointments with you?
My husband went to a few, but they were always the same so I didnt make him go b/c he works at night and sleeps during the day. Only when he was up did I ask him if he wanted to go. He went to the ultrasound appointments and he went when I was having blood pressure issues, b/c he was concerned. He would always go to the doctor's office before I got there if I had to pay that day, he would pay for me so that when I got there I didnt have to pay anything.Did your husband go to your OB appointments with you?
Yes, my fiance came to as many as the appointments that he could make it to. It was always exciting for him to be able to either see our little boy on the ultrasound or hear his heartbeat. It was also great having his support there as well. I always ended up in a happy-tears mess.





After our son was born, he had to take me to my OB/GYNO appointments because of my emergency c-section, I wasn't able to drive. It wasn't a big deal though because I felt completely comfortable with him.





He also still continues to go to our son's doctor's appointments with me sometimes. It's very nice to have a helping hand.
My boyfriend went to most of my appointments with me but not all of them. I try to schedule appointments for the times that he'll be home but if it happens that they cancel and have to reschedule me for a time when he's gone to work and won't be home that week, then I go alone or take my sister or friend with me. He always tried to be a part of everything so he knew first hand what was going on and that everything is okay. You are right the appointments are so quick until it's unnecessary to miss time from work for that especially if you are having an uneventful pregnancy. Just make sure that he's there for the big appointments like the ultra sounds and glucose testing.
My husband does not come with me. He came to my first appointment with each of our kids and to the ultrasounds (he did miss the first with this one). He works with epoxy and cannot always leave to come to my appointments. As long as he is there for the important ones, I really can handle going by myself. My son is also very well behaved, so I don't have an issue taking him with either.
Yes, he has gone to all of them and hopes to make everyone along the way. I know some people find it weird for him to be there during an exam but honestly it makes me feel better. He is super sweet and anything that may cause even the slightest discomfort he is right there holding my hand and playing with my hair. (he doesn't watch the dr.) I don't feel uncomfortable with him being there...it's not like he hasn't been in my ';Business'; before :P
im 37 weeks and my boyfriend went to every single appointment with me up until the last 3 because he started a new job that has more set hours then his previous job. he loved going to my appointments. i would always tell him he didn't have to go sense there only about 5 mins long for the most part but he said he likes to hear the heart beat. hes actually pretty bummed hes missed out on the last couple
Michael goes whenever he can, he loves getting to go. But sometimes he will have to work, and besides the heartbeat, hes not missing much, my dr appts are always like 10 minutes. lol. He has went to every single ultrasound, and made sure to go to the first appt. But its really up to you and him, if you want him to be there and if he wants to go. The appts make some guys uncomfortable. Men are such wusses. Lol
My husband did not go to the 8 week (first visit) or 30 week, but has been to the rest. He was really pleased to hear the heartbeat and be there for the ultrasound, but most importantly he's had a lot of his questions and concerns answered firsthand.
he went to the first one with the first baby and then to the one when we were going to hear the heartbeat for the first time. then with the second he only came to the one when we heard the heartbeat. he came to all the ultrasounds, i think i had 2 with each baby.
my husband went a time or two. he worked so it was hard for him to take off sometimes. but i always took my mom with me. i didnt like going by myself. we are now pregnant with number 2 and he keeps talking about going so i think he wants to try to make more appointments this time.
i only get one ob appointment,and the rest are with different midwives but yes i made my partner go to all my appointments. the way i see it is if his there i dont have to explain everything to him when i get home,and if i forget something he can remind me.
I tried to get him to go as much as he could..and I ALWAYS had him come with me to the ultrasounds..





Of course life happens and he had to work a couple of times..





I honestly think that if the hubby if interested..have him be active as much as he can in the pregnancy! =)
No. He was working nights and had to sleep during the day when I was pregnant with our first. He was back on a normal schedule when I was pregnant with our second, but I wanted him to watch our older child while I was at the doctor's office. He did go to the ultrasounds, though.
Well it was our first pregnancy, so my husband was with me at MOST appointment. He only missed one, I believe... I know not all hubby's can work all the appointments out with their work schedules. I think the ultrasounds are the most important.
I have only had one so far and my bf went. I have another one Thursday but due to work he can't. He does plan and wants to go to as many as possible though.
i am going to my first appointment on friday and he says if he gets work off he will come with me. i think if he has the days off i have to go in then most likely he will go.
i have only been to one, but my boyfriend went with me. he has issues with blood so he almost fainted when they were drawing blood from me. it was quite a site. lol.
My husband went...only if he was not working. Or he would take the day off for the special occasions...(1st heartbeat, tell the sex,ect. ect.) He might regret not going.
My fiance isn't able to because he works which is fine with me,but he came to my last ultrasound which was 2 weeks ago and he is also coming to the one on friday
He has went to every appointment, even my 3 hour glucose test, except my last one because he could not leave work in the middle of the day. I did not like him not being there.
My fiance never missed one appt. Even if he would have to take off work he came. No matter what. I was soo glad I didn't ever have to go alone.
only the ultrasounds but other than that i don't mind going alone the appointments really are pointless
No he stays at home and watchs the other kids if he's not working. But everyone came to find out what we were having.
Nope, and I felt fine going alone, why would he? At the end of the pregnancy, they give you full exams every visit...awkward!
My husband with me to all my appointment. I always had them scheduled for the days that he is off work.
yes most of the times... last time he could not get away form work but he is coming next time...








Alright why did we deserve thumbs down? :))
every single last one of them with my 1st son and with this one so far...
He went to a few. The first one, my glucose test, another few here and there. Not so much towards the end, though.
Absolutely, it's our baby not just mine.
Yes my boyfriend always goes with me.
