This isn't geared towards any mama in general since I've seen it happen on several occasions, but…

Completely agree!! He'll always ask how my appointments were and it's always the same response. I'll of course tell him when they are so he knows but i never expect him to come. He's been at almost every ultrasound, he works nights so just depends when he gets home if I wake him up for it or let him sleep :)

I've gone to my last 3 apts by myself because I told him not to worry about it. I spend more time waiting then the actual apt takes. The only apt he's going to with me next is my last ultrasound in 2 weeks then we just wait for labor.

@d_ryan, I can get if you have a high risk pregnancy or some above and beyond thing, but like, I don't even want to be there, why force him to as well.

I've never had to ask my spouse to come to my appointments. He has been to all of them. I've even tried telling him he didn't have to come to the boring ones, but he always insists. Sometimes it works out well though, because my pregnant brain is mush and he remembers everything I forget haha

I agree with you fully I'm high risk so I can't get him 2 not come & I get an ultrasound for the last 4 app & my husband I love him but it's like he always dose something or says something 2 make me mad lol

@lil_bigmama, I can see why he'd want to be there then. but like, there's questions I ask in there that I don't want him hearing. like "hey, this stuff is coming out, does it look normal to you" and he has to see me in a pose that I don't want ANYONE seeing me in.

Exactly!! It's the same thing every time.

@emily18234, that's a good point! I find myself never asking certain questions because he is in there, but he won't miss any apt, so i never get to ask!

girl my 3 year old got 2 c me get an internal ultrasound & he has 3 times himself he made the remark ur dr gets more play time then I do its like really

@jaxmomma, that's true. I always have a list of things I ask him to remind me to ask, but neither of us ever remember anyway. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing anyone's husband for wanting to be there. and I understand that this is a time where women need support. Plus, I totally get the pregnancy brain. especially after waiting in the waiting room forever you're more concerned about just leaving than actually having a Q&A lpl

@lil_bigmama, haha haha the ONE time he was in the room for an internal check was when I was in the ER. she grabbed the speculum and I just go "look away" and he looked like he was about to pass out

It's crazy I'm going 2 a school of Med so I already have 3 or 4 students looking at my who I don't need my husband down there with a flashlight too uk & yes he would b that 1 odd ball

I agree. I'm high risk and he comes to every ultrasound appointment and he's been to 1 obgyn appointment but the obgyn appointments are quick.so I don't request he go to those.

my fiance didn't go to appointments with me until I was about 4 months , now he goes to every one but only bc he wants to keep me company. but it truly is pointless

I make my boyfriend come with me because my appointments take more like an hr and a half. the office is SO busy. last time my appointment was at 1015 and I didn't even see my doctor until 11 something. I'm not sitting there bored and alone lol

My fiancée and I are first time parents and I never even asked him to go he demands to go lol he wants to hear her heart every time and wants to understand everything cause the doctor explains better than I do. Plus he reminds me to ask important questions. Also, not trying to cause a fight, but I personally hold nothing back in front of him. Even if it's embarrassing I would rather him be there so I don't sound stupid when I ask what that weird thing is. Sometimes he explains it better than I do. If he didn't wanna go to my appointments I wouldn't be offended by any means unless it was an ultrasound so I totally get where you're coming from.

@ritababy123, that's great!! I wasn't holding it against any guy who wanted to go, I get that each couple have their preference. I just don't get when woman try to attribute men not going to them being terrible fathers

@emily18234, that's just mean :( they're still good fathers regardless
