He even came to my 6 week pp check up! We had fun waiting for the doc together and hanging out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt/page/2#post-656390 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 22:18:44 +0000 Colee 656390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH went to the first and second appointments, but now he only goes to the important ones. When we get closer to my due date, we will go together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt/page/2#post-656341 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 21:45:26 +0000 delight 656341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has come to all 4 u/s but doesn't come with me to my monthly doctor appointment. Nothing really happens at theses other than listening to heart beat. He will come in July and August when he isn't working and closer to due date. I was happy we could get late afternoon u/s appointments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt/page/2#post-656311 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 21:30:21 +0000 googly-eyes 656311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. He came when he didn't have work (not a m-f job) but skipped when he had work. I think he adjusted his work schedule once but it was hard at the time. He made 2 of 4 US appts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt/page/2#post-656302 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 21:27:00 +0000 Grace 656302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He has only come to one so far. It was supposed to be when we'd first hear the heartbeat, but heartbeat wasn't ready to be heard! He came to the follow-up ultrasound though and he'll come to the anomaly scan ultrasound.</p> <p>Btw, you totally had me excited when I saw you post this. Seriously, you should have seen my face, you would have laughed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt/page/2#post-655707 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:03:56 +0000 Bao 655707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He went to all except one around 28 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt/page/2#post-655706 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:02:56 +0000 ladyfingers 655706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He went to every one! When we weren't doing ultrasounds, I'd tell him he didn't have to come but he insisted. He always said he felt like the one appt he didn't go to would be the one where there was a problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt/page/2#post-655665 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:38:57 +0000 Mrs. Train 655665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: yeah I called him at work but he has bad reception do he had gone out to the roof. The first thing he said was wow you shouldn't tell a man on the roof that he is going to have three kids under a year. I probably should have come up with a better way of telling him but I just blurted it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt/page/2#post-655654 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:32:39 +0000 mrs. bird 655654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Train: whoa, that must have been surreal to have to tell him after! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt/page/2#post-655649 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:31:30 +0000 Mrs. Train 655649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first pregnancy he did not come and I found out we were having twins. Next pregnancy he came. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt/page/2#post-655639 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:28:08 +0000 sslm 655639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has only missed 2 appointments! My midwife is close to his work so it's easy for him :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt#post-655635 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:25:53 +0000 aprk 655635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He only came for two appointments - the first (with dating ultrasound) and the anatomy scan at 19 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt#post-655634 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:25:20 +0000 Pepper 655634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, he rarely goes to my OB appointments. They're usually very quick and scheduled when he is working. He does go to every ultrasound though. I may start scheduling the OB appointments differently once I'm closer to July, so he can be there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt#post-655620 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:20:38 +0000 KT326 655620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. It was too hard for him to get the time off from work. He was only able to go to a handful of them. I was ok with it. The only one that made me sad was the anatomy scan. He couldn't get the time off work because it was the day before Thanksgiving. He is definitely going for the next pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt#post-655590 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:12:04 +0000 kokobee 655590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, he went to all the appts! he enjoyed going to all of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt#post-655572 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:05:52 +0000 lovehoneybee 655572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only one he didn't come to was my 3 hour GD test (I had a prenatal visit in the middle of it), but he dropped me off and picked me up. It was important to him to be very involved in the pregnancy and come to all the appointments, especially the first one since we had miscarried a few months prior. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt#post-655570 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:05:29 +0000 BKCaribBaby 655570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. He came to one, but his office is the exact opposite direction of my doctor's office. It would have made him miss about 2 hours minimum of work between travel time and the actual appointment. I gave him lots of blow by blow about what happened. Quite honestly, I didn't matter to me if he was there. There were lots of other things that were more important to me that he do during the pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt#post-655543 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 15:59:56 +0000 immabeetoo 655543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. He came to the first ultrasound but first appointment was pretty boring and mostly just confirming the pregnancy and giving me formula samples... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt#post-655518 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 15:51:26 +0000 Alivoo01 655518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! Hubby has come to all my appointments so far. I don't anticipate him missing any future ones either. He has me purposely plan them for the late afternoon so that he can come with! =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt#post-655512 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 15:49:48 +0000 mrsmacandcheese 655512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine won't be! He will for the U/S, of course, but I see no reason for him to be there for bloodwork/PAP/etc. And I know his relevant family history. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt#post-655500 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 15:43:59 +0000 Adira 655500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He went to the first appointment and then ultrasounds after that. I didn't care if he went to any of the other appointments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt#post-655494 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 15:42:42 +0000 mrsjyw 655494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He went to every single appt until a few in the second that were just the routine weight, urine test, "how r u feeling," belly measurement ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt#post-655463 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 15:33:45 +0000 teamjse 655463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he went to every single appt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt#post-655459 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 15:32:50 +0000 BananaPancakes 655459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I wish he had. I called before I went in to ask what all they would do, and it was just draw blood and schedule another appointment. But they ended up doing an ultrasound to see how far along I was. So my husband missed that first US. Sad. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt#post-655457 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 15:32:17 +0000 Anagram 655457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's been to every dr. appointment and ultrasound so far. He helps me remember questions to ask, remembers what the doctor says, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt#post-655452 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 15:29:37 +0000 avivoca 655452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he was very interested in coming, and I want him to come to all of the ones that he is in town for. I probably should have sent him out when they did my pap though. He didn't know that's what an internal exam was like and was a bit uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt#post-655445 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 15:28:31 +0000 prettylizy 655445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope- it was an easy decision for us. He is a comission sales guy and waiting 1.5hours in the OB waiting room just didn't make sense for us! He didn't come to any of my OB appts, but did come to my USs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt#post-655428 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 15:24:43 +0000 marionberry 655428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He has come to all of my RE appointments and now my OB appointment as well. I tell him that he doesn't need to come if he has other things to do, but I know he'd rather be there and I'd rather have him there. Luckily he doesn't mind coming, even if it's just for a quick appointment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-join-you-for-your-first-prenatal-appt#post-655424 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 15:23:12 +0000 Turd Ferguson 655424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No and I'm SO glad he wasn't... I just had my first one today, it was 2 hours long and he wouldn't have had any reason to be there. It was a half hour of paperwork/questions, some random "general" information from the doctor, a boob check and uterus check, and then a ridiculous amount of bloodwork.</p> <p>He WILL be at the first ultrasound (in 2 weeks!) when I'm 8 weeks, and the first heartbeat. I think people's first appointments differ though, I've heard some people get an U/S and heartbeat done right away (like at 6 weeks which I am right now)--I did call prior to my appointment to see if they'd be doing anything like that and when I found out they weren't, I told him there was no point to show up yet. </p>
