I gave him the option when there weren't ultrasounds, but he was adamant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-505875 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 15:29:12 +0000 Rescuemom10 505875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put other because he tries to make it to what he can. Its been most of them but he has had to miss a few which I dont mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-505868 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 15:27:45 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 505868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: HAHAHA!! That's pretty funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-504034 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 18:33:19 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 504034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: hahah DH LOVED those!<br /> He would look down there with my OB and ask all these questions. His lack of knowledge &amp; elementary level curiosity embarrassed me mostly, but I appreciated the interest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-504030 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 18:30:54 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 504030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted "other"<br /> He came to all U/S appointments<br /> and<br /> then, he came to every single one after the 32w point. We discussed labor, induction...Everything before that was totally boring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-503996 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 18:01:56 +0000 hellocupcake 503996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with Mrs. Pen. He came when he could, which was most of them. I loved having him there but was okay when work wouldn't allow it. I even had the ultrasound technician write down baby's gender since he had to work and we wanted to find out together (: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-503979 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 17:45:43 +0000 Crisark 503979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted all because he's wanted to. but, being High Risk I've had some addl appts come up that he just couldn't make but I think he's only missed 2 and I'm 25 weeks.<br /> He wants to be at every single appt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-503978 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 17:45:29 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 503978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He came to all of them except for the last month, when they started to do cervical checks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-503973 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 17:43:27 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 503973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far he has come to every one or made plans to come. This one us an US and physical. He will definitely be there for the US but might have to leave to go to work for the physical. I doubt there is anything for him at that one anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-500416 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 14:37:48 +0000 sylvie_b 500416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh wanted to come to all of them :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-499320 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 19:50:55 +0000 Boogs 499320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH went to all of them, he liked going and I liked having him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-499313 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 19:45:55 +0000 Beehive 499313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish he could have come to all the ultrasound appts - I was living in a different city for 3 months (we were together every weekend), which covered nearly all of the first trimester and a few weeks of the second, so he missed some early ultrasounds, including the fun NT scan where the baby was bouncing around a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-499305 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 19:42:13 +0000 photojane 499305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's been to all of them, and he's even coming now that they're weekly. He's as much a part of the pregnancy as me, and loves being there. We're lucky, though, that his "weekend" is mid-week, so he doesn't have to take off work to come with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-499291 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 19:35:17 +0000 sslm 499291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I chose other. So far he's been to every one except one (I'm 27w3d), but now I'm about to start biweekly, and he won't be able to miss that much work, so he'll only come to every second one. We don't do u/s at our midwife's office, those are booked separately, and he has been to both so far, and will go to all of those :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-499280 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 19:29:54 +0000 BlueWolverine 499280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He came to all of them up to 20 weeks. I had more than one early ultrasound, though, so he wanted to be at those. Once it became "weight, heartbeat, blood pressure" he didn't come anymore, which was fine with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-499165 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 18:37:37 +0000 Dandelion 499165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I said other, cause he came to the anatomy scan we had at a little boutique, and he went to my glucose test with me, to keep me company. It's not easy for him to get off work for it, but I know if he really could come with me to more appointments he would. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-499152 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 18:32:22 +0000 Smurfette 499152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He just comes to the ones with an ultrasound. It doesn't seem necessary for him, when the doc just listens to the heartbeat and measures my belly. Like 10 mins top. He might start coming once we get to the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-499146 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 18:31:02 +0000 matador84 499146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just my initial and 4d. I never knew when I'd be having an in office u/s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-499136 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 18:28:24 +0000 mamabolt 499136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He came to the first two office appointments, both ultrasounds, and one other random appointment that was the same night we had a breastfeeding class at the hospital. Other than that I told him not to bother coming, they were very quick appointments and I had an uncomplicated pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-499076 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 18:05:48 +0000 lomom 499076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's come to two, once when we heard the heartbeat and then the anatomy scan. I doubt he will come to any others. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-499064 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 18:02:01 +0000 JessiBee 499064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just the anatomy scan. I wish he had come for one of the earlier ultrasounds (either the 8-week, although since it was vaginal, that would have been weird for him, or the 12-week testing one), but the other appointments are so quick that it hasn't been worth it for him to take off work mid-day. My work schedule is more flexible than his. I don't think he plans to come to any others until the big one (that would be labor and delivery), although he came to every class I signed up for, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-499039 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 17:51:57 +0000 Weagle 499039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He only went to the ultrasound ones. So, first appt, 20 week, 28 weeks, and 36 weeks. It wasn't practical or necessary for him to take off to come to other 5 minute appointments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-499035 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 17:50:28 +0000 BeachMama 499035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I told he didn't have to come to all of them but he came to every single one. It was nice to feel the support. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-498987 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 17:23:44 +0000 softcream 498987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so far, he's been to all but one appt. that one appt was my first "routine" appt where you give them a urine sample, get weighed and they check your bp. but apparently we also get to hear the heartbeat with a doppler. i think he would have liked to hear it too. so i'll let him decide if he wants to join me for the upcoming routine appts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-498978 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 17:20:01 +0000 GrapeCrush 498978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband came to all my appointments except for 3 because of work with #1. He wanted to though. With this one, because of DS, he most likely will come only to a few. He'll definitely come to all ultrasounds </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-498973 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 17:18:59 +0000 blackbird 498973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH wanted to go to all of my appointments and this week he missed the first one at 28 weeks. Now that they're every other week, he may not make it to all of them. He likes coming though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-498941 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 17:03:37 +0000 kiddosc 498941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He wanted to come. I think it gave him a chance to feel more connected to the pregnancy. Plus he's a real detail oriented person and had his own questions to ask most of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-498940 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 17:03:25 +0000 Meridian 498940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He missed my first appointment last week, which had an U/S :( I asked the nurse practitioner which appointments he should attend, and she just said 20 weeks.</p> <p>Apparently there is going to be an U/S at every appointment... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-498923 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 16:58:05 +0000 bunnylove08 498923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At first when I went to a doctor close to home he would come to every single one but when I switched doctors and I had 2pm appointments he couldnt take off work to come. He came to the sonograms though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-all-your-doctors-appointments#post-498914 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 16:50:42 +0000 Mrs. Pen 498914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Other - he went to as many as his work schedule allowed - probably over half! I liked having him there. </p>
