It didn't make sense for him to miss half a day of work for a 15 minute weight and blood pressure check. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you/page/2#post-1084741 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 08:55:33 +0000 LuLu Mom 1084741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH attended all but 2 due to be out of town for work. It was important to me that he be there with me since it would be impacting both our lives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you/page/2#post-1084460 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 05:49:58 +0000 ElbieKay 1084460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far he has come to the first appt, the NT scan, and the early anatomy scan. He plans to come to the full anatomy scan in 3-4 weeks too.</p> <p>He's not coming to the other routine office visits since there isn't much point. My dr's office is much closer to my job than to his, so it's not that convenient for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you/page/2#post-1084430 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 04:03:06 +0000 illumina 1084430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. He missed one, because he was away for work, but that's all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you/page/2#post-1084425 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 03:47:28 +0000 lamariniere 1084425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH came to the initial confirm the pregnancy appointment for both pregnancies. After that, he went to any appointments where I was having ultrasounds.</p> <p>If you are low risk, most appointments will probably be pretty boring, weight, blood pressure, a few questions, maybe hear the heartbeat (which is not boring!) and not much else. If I was having complications, I would want DH there so he could ask any questions I might not think of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you/page/2#post-1084421 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 02:51:34 +0000 SweetMamaM 1084421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has only come to the dating and NT scan so far. He'll be coming to the anatomy scan and my GD test (just in case I have a negative reaction) and we're looking at him attending a midwife appointment around 28 weeks just so he gets to know the lady who will be all up in my business LOL.<br /> It's very cute though, we've joined our local Parents' Centre (they run antenatal and postnatal classes) and they have a sleep consultant coming in to give pregnant and new mums sleep tips. I'm teaching and can't go to the session - so DH is going to go. What a sweetie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you/page/2#post-1084210 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 22:11:46 +0000 MrsKoala 1084210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is determined to come to every appointment. So far, he has only had to miss one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you/page/2#post-1084007 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 20:42:48 +0000 ALV91711 1084007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH came to one early one to hear the heartbeat and 2 out of 3 ultrasounds. We didn't feel it was worth it for him to leave work as well. If there had been any concerns or if I really wanted him there he would of come. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you/page/2#post-1083932 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 20:26:31 +0000 MapleMoose 1083932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH came to every appointment until I started going weekly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you/page/2#post-1083931 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 20:26:23 +0000 californiadreams 1083931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>he came for the first three doc appts i think - to meet the doctor and to receive the results of the blood work (i was nervous to get the results). He also came for my first two ultrasounds. it was always a big deal to take time off work though, so after he didn't come to any more appointments. I didn't really care either as the appointments were over so fast most of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you/page/2#post-1083925 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 20:25:14 +0000 Caly 1083925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, (28wks) he's come to all &amp; plans to continue to come to the rest as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you/page/2#post-1083918 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 20:23:24 +0000 Boogs 1083918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I scheduled them all based on his work schedule, and do the same with LO's so he goes to everything. </p> <p>As for pregnancy ones, I think the 20 week (the big one around that time) was probably the most important for him to experience that ultrasound since it was so thorough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you/page/2#post-1083906 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 20:20:08 +0000 mrsbookworm 1083906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He came to all the appointments I deemed "important". It was too hard with his work schedule to come to all of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you/page/2#post-1083891 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 20:15:09 +0000 Pepper 1083891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All ultrasounds. I think he came to one or two appointments, and anytime I panicked and went to the hospital! He has a very hectic work schedule, so that was best for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you/page/2#post-1083878 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 20:12:38 +0000 MrsTiz 1083878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He comes to all ultrasound ones and any that are because of worries from the doctor. He doesn't go to check ups </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you/page/2#post-1083756 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 19:24:17 +0000 yellowbird 1083756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dh came to as many as he could. He always came to US appts. Routine checks were boring, so I told him not to worry about it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you/page/2#post-1083751 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 19:23:16 +0000 MsLipGloss 1083751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! He only came to appointments that were scheduled ultrasounds or tests (he came to my amniocentesis). He also came to L&amp;D when I was admitted for pre-term labor at 22 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you/page/2#post-1083728 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 19:15:32 +0000 bunnylove08 1083728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All apps during the 1st and 2nd and third I switched practices and it was a pain to get to for him somi told him he didn't have to come. He did come to the last sonogram during the 3rd </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you/page/2#post-1083684 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 18:59:04 +0000 Penny Lane 1083684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: he just plays with the toys in the office, while LO watches. it's pretty amusing :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you/page/2#post-1083681 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 18:57:39 +0000 deerylou 1083681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He came to the first appointment, GD screening, and ultrasounds. The other appointments were super quick and he commutes to work, so I didn't find it worth it. I always phoned him right after, as he was eager for an update. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you/page/2#post-1083671 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 18:54:17 +0000 indi 1083671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is our first, and he's planning to be at all of them. He works an hour away, too, but his job is pretty flexible (and he's the supervisor, that helps). We just plan my appointments as the first of the day or the last so he misses as little as possible. I think we'd both really like him there if there were to be bad news, and he was glad to be there for the surprise U/S we had at 9 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you#post-1083667 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 18:52:55 +0000 Silva 1083667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He came to the first appt., and then all the ultrasounds. The other appts are pretty repetitive, and last like 15 minutes. Wasn't worth arranging his schedule for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you#post-1083657 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 18:50:10 +0000 singingbee 1083657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone has come with me to each appointment, whether it was DH, BFF, my mom, or sister. The one appointment I went to the first pregnancy by myself ended in bad news, so I don't go by myself.</p> <p>Eta: DH missed because he was out of town for work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you#post-1083650 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 18:44:53 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1083650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my first pregnancy he came to every single appointment. And that's alot, since I went every 2 weeks until 34 weeks, when I started going once a week!</p> <p>this pregnancy he has only come to the ultrasound appointments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you#post-1083646 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 18:43:50 +0000 lemondrop 1083646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here and there when he was off and to all ultrasound appointments, but most of the others weren't worth missing work/income over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you#post-1083618 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 18:35:03 +0000 littlek 1083618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: DH went to almost all with my first pregnancy. My guess is he will only go to my first appt when I'm pregnant with #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you#post-1083553 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 18:10:35 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1083553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I don't remember my monthly visits being super important. My husband came to every RE appointment and our first OB appointment when we were released. After that, my appointments were the standard blood pressure/urine/weight/heartbeat check. </p> <p>He did come to all of my ultrasounds but one (I had a lot!) and to any emergency appointment I had.</p> <p>I don't think there is a right or wrong way! Just whatever works for you guys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you#post-1083549 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 18:08:55 +0000 avivoca 1083549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He comes to every appointment that he's in town for. He only missed 3-4 because of travel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you#post-1083538 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 18:05:59 +0000 PurplePeony 1083538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH has only missed one, when he was out of town. He was upset because I scheduled it then even though they said I could wait until the following week, but it was just a regular how's it going-weight and blood pressure check-see you in 4 weeks appointment so I didn't think it was worth rescheduling. We can schedule appointments around his job, though, so he doesn't take off work to come with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-dhso-come-to-appts-with-you#post-1083497 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 17:45:13 +0000 artsyfartsy 1083497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: DH gets just as excited for the doctor as I do! He wants to go to every one. I know when they turn biweekly and weekly he won't be able to make it and will be disappointed. </p>
