He's been to every single prenatal appt with me!</p> <p>So I have a feeling he'll want to go to all the pediactic appts once LO is here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-176954 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 11:01:40 +0000 lemondrop 176954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He went to the early ones since he was on paternity leave. Now we just come up with a list of questions before the visit and I report back since he has pretty erratic days off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-176820 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 06:09:11 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 176820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! He has gone to all her appointments so far. He didn't miss an appointment when I was pregnant either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-176219 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 12:27:34 +0000 Honeybee 176219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, we both go to all of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-176215 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 12:24:30 +0000 sandy 176215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we both go which I appreciate a lot. He stays with her during the shots...while I'm making the next appointment at the front desk. LO does great but I don't like to see her cry even if it's only for a second. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-176209 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 12:21:35 +0000 banana 176209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, so far we've been to all of our son's ped appointments together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-176208 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 12:20:44 +0000 skibobrown 176208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go together whenever possible, but lately it's been just me b/c DH has to work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-176204 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 12:19:20 +0000 looch 176204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went alone this morning for DS's 18 month visit. Could have used another pair of hands to pin him down for his vax, but other than that, he gets the full report when he gets home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-176061 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 10:27:34 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 176061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! We work together so it makes it easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-176019 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 10:07:58 +0000 eeh 176019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's no way to tell if my husband will be off or not so I will schedule them when it's convenient for me and if he's off, he'll go. If not, just me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-176018 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 10:06:53 +0000 autumnlove 176018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We try to but sometimes we have to go alone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-175978 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 09:45:46 +0000 HLK208 175978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did but for a few of them, DH had to work. Otherwise he still goes with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-175964 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 09:37:52 +0000 lavender 175964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH tries to make them all, but w/work and meetings sometimes he has to miss them (like this morning's!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-175925 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 09:19:56 +0000 LuLu Mom 175925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't discussed this yet, but I have a feeling he wont' be able to attend them all. He commutes for work and our pediatrician is where we live. So unless we get appointments in the late afternoon or it's an emergency then I will probably be on my own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-175902 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 09:07:19 +0000 chopsuey 175902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh's never missed a wellness visit. I've taken Lo for random sick visits on my own twice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-175886 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 09:01:19 +0000 pelikila 175886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As often as possible we go as a family to wellness and sick appointments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-175884 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 08:59:48 +0000 MrsHotDog 175884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband has made it to all of her appointments except for one last minute appointment because she was sick. Luckily for me, he always holds her as they give her her shots because he likes to snuggle her when they are done (and because I can barely keep myself together). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-175880 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 08:58:14 +0000 heffalump 175880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He went for the first few months, and he'll go if she's really sick, but now I take her alone. He already has to take off work a lot for his own apts, he can't take off any more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-175875 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 08:56:30 +0000 winniebee 175875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He came to the first because he was on vacation - unfortunately since DH is a surgery resident he can't take time off from work unless it's a vacation. So I will mostly be taking DS unless DH happens to be off : ( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-175870 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 08:54:12 +0000 runsyellowlites 175870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I schedule them on his days off. I'm so thankful that he comes bc DD is VERY temperamental so I don't think I could handle both her &amp; DS yet. Hopefully that'll get better &amp; DH can come just because he wants to &amp; not bc I'll lose my mind if he doesn't. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-175833 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 08:23:00 +0000 Andrea 175833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: DH is always really excited to go! It's cute. Glad your DH wants to do that, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-175828 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 08:19:58 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 175828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go together to every visit too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-175822 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 08:17:08 +0000 mediagirl 175822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: that's awesome! I'm so glad to hear that and I bet he will continue to go on wellness visits, as well. I know it is hard for some people to get out of work to do that but thankfully our companies are very lenient and understand doc appointments and the like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-175816 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 08:11:39 +0000 Minnie_Girl 175816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm hoping that DH will go if baby needs a shot of any kind. I don't want my kids to pick up on that fear of mine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-175814 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 08:09:37 +0000 Andrea 175814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We still go together for her wellness checks but usually only one of us goes if she is sick. But sometimes the both of us go, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-both-of-you-go-to-pediatrician-appointments#post-175810 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 08:06:47 +0000 mediagirl 175810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is planning on going to all of the first year pediatrician appointments with BGH and me. I really appreciate this and it means a lot because I think it's important he's as involved with her life and health as I am.</p> <p>Did your SO go with you to your child's first year of pediatrician appointments? </p>
