He really wants to be as involved as possible... and he has a flexible schedule where it's easy for him to leave the office for an hour or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96478 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 12:55:45 +0000 BananaPancakes 96478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, so many of you have had a lot of ultrasounds! I just had one at 9 weeks to be sure there was a viable pregnancy and then the anatomy scan. My husband made the anatomy scan, but I didn't know they'd be doing an U/S at my first appointment, so he missed that, unfortunately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96477 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 12:53:29 +0000 MsMini 96477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He made it to my first 4 ultrasounds (dating, NT, anatomy, and 1 other), and since then he has been way too busy at work to leave mid-day. These later ones aren't as important really, I just give him a phone update when I am done at them. These later ones are just a quick growth check and BPP score though, so they don't really show you much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96460 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 12:21:50 +0000 kml636 96460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he's planning to go to all of them and I'm so glad, in case something goes wrong... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96450 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 12:15:37 +0000 Goldilocks1107 96450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has been to all my appointments, and plans to continue going as long as he doesn't have an unexpected work issue. I think he enjoys going and hearing the heart beat and asking the OB questions (or at least hearing her answers to my questions first-hand). Plus, I told him that if he wants babies, this is a requirement :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96429 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 11:52:01 +0000 lemondrop 96429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he made it to all 5 ultrasounds (3 medical, 2 elective)- I made sure to only schedule them when he was off work. He made it to about half of my regular appointments, but those weren't such a big deal to me. It wasn't so much that I needed the support, I wanted him to feel closer to his son since he didn't get the closeness that I did being pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96406 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 11:28:35 +0000 mediagirl 96406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's been to all of my appointments so far. He's not going to go with me to the 2 week ones, though. He'll go once a month with me still. It's so nice to have his hand there to hold through everything, even if it is good news. It's our baby, I want him a part of everything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96395 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 11:17:27 +0000 cyndistar3 96395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we had two and he couldn't make it to the first one because of work it was very sad :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96387 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 11:05:15 +0000 plantains 96387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an ultrasound at every visit and he has been to all except for the last one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96328 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 10:13:07 +0000 LuLu Mom 96328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far we have only had one appointment, and actually had an unplanned U/S so he was able to see the baby. It made it more "real" for him to see it which was great.</p> <p>Now with me having my cyst, he is planning on attending all my appointments in case something goes wrong. If he's unable too, my mom has offered to be my support which i will gladly take her up on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96246 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 08:46:51 +0000 regberadaisy 96246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, he's also been able to come to almost every single appointment. I love that he wants to be involved every step of the way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96233 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 08:29:26 +0000 His Barista 96233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh only missed one because he couldn't get off work. But he tried his best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96224 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 08:21:45 +0000 yoursilverlining 96224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband comes to all the visits, ultrasound and otherwise. Even just the quick ones where they just measure my belly, weigh me and send me on my way. He has a pretty flexible schedule, so we've been able to get appointment times that work for both of us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96214 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 08:09:25 +0000 heffalump 96214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He came to all my ultrasounds. I miscarried before having lo so I was always terrified for ultrasounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96209 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 08:04:43 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 96209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only have 2 so yes, the hubs was there. He doesn't come to my monthly doc visits though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96208 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 08:04:00 +0000 sorrycharlie 96208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH can't easily get out of work - he made the dating US/first appt because it was in the afternoon, but he had to get out early and his boss wasn't pleased. The NT scan he missed - and we're hoping he'll be able to make anatomy scan. He'll be missing the appointment that we hear the heartbeat for the first time :( but I'm going to try to record it on my phone. </p> <p>We're scheduling a private US around 16 weeks to try to find out gender a little early, and so DH can experience an ultrasound! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96204 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 07:46:14 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 96204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH went to all the ultrasounds and all the appts up until they started doing weekly cervical checks. We had a lot more ultrasounds than most people because my sister is an ultrasound tech and got us some free ones at the hospital she worked at. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96203 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 07:44:44 +0000 mamabolt 96203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've only had two US and DH has been able to come to both of them. Unless something changes with the pregnancy I won't have any others. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96197 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 07:32:18 +0000 Pipers Mommy 96197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>only 5 of my 13 U/S, but those 5 were the most important, the others were just tracking and monitoring. I was OK going to the others by myself, I was in the waiting room longer than on the table in most instances, and was able to follow up with him right after to let him know what was going on </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96196 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 07:29:23 +0000 mrsjazz 96196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He was able to come to the first appt. at 8 wks and the 12 wk and 20 wk ultrasounds--which were the most important to me. My former OB used to give a quick ultrasound to check on baby at most appointments. Now that I go to a midwife we most likely won't see this baby again until she is born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96192 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 07:15:02 +0000 Rubies 96192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs was only able to come to the anatomy scan (19 weeks)...That's it. It made me a little sad but he just wasn't able take the time off work. But I always called him afterwards to give him the update! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96182 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 06:53:25 +0000 Andrea 96182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, the DH didn't want to miss out on hearing the heartbeat especially. He loved to hear it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96172 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 06:17:11 +0000 chopsuey 96172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH went to all of my ultrasound appts plus a bunch of my earlier ones. He loved seeing our LO :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96163 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 05:03:22 +0000 aunt pol 96163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, if I'm doing all the donkey work for these babas he can share all the inconvenience! We rescheduled one u/s that he wouldn't have got to, so its a complete record so far. We're high risk too, as twins automatically seem to be, so there have been quite a few. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96158 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 03:11:35 +0000 pastemoo 96158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, but only because we stopped having them when he stopped being able to come to my appointments </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-accompany-you-on-all-of-your-ultrasounds#post-96150 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 01:40:52 +0000 mrbee 96150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't able to make it to all the ultrasounds like I had wanted... but because we had high risk pregnancies, I was able to make to all of the early ones where we were both really worried.</p> <p>Did your SO accompany you on all of your ultrasounds? Did you find it useful to have his or her in-person support? </p>
