He comes to all of LO's appointments unless he has something pressing at work that day. The pediatrician's office is only 5 minutes away from his office so it is doable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-los-appointments#post-547288 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 15:00:05 +0000 Mrs. Pen 547288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He didn't until his 9 month appt, and I purposefully scheduled it for a morning he was home. I also scheduled his 12 month appt for when DH is home :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-los-appointments#post-547268 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 14:44:56 +0000 sera_87 547268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If its shots he comes with. We schedule them for the afternoon and he takes it off work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-los-appointments#post-547260 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 14:33:27 +0000 cascademom 547260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We schedule them so he works from home, picks up LO from daycare, then I cab over and meet the there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-los-appointments#post-547240 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 14:21:20 +0000 Weagle 547240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He came when she was a newborn and one sick visit since. It doesn't bother me to take her alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-los-appointments#post-547237 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 14:18:15 +0000 travelgirl1 547237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He has come with me to every single one and I'm so grateful because some of them have been very hard for her and me. He's out of work right now which is in itself a huge stress but I'm beyond grateful that it's meant he can come to everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-los-appointments#post-547118 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 12:54:29 +0000 DisneyBee 547118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH came to LO's appointments when he was a newborn, but not anymore. Since he works full-time, it's hard to take off work. I work part-time, so I can make appointments on my days off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-los-appointments#post-547116 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 12:52:42 +0000 prettylizy 547116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I usually book them during the day and he's at work. When I go back to work we'll probably alternate taking time off to take her wherever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-los-appointments#post-547110 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 12:51:28 +0000 Freckles 547110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After the 21 week mark, he stopped coming to the appointments, only because i told him not to bother! I did not want to waste his time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-los-appointments#post-547085 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 12:39:42 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 547085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has come to most of them but missed a couple. He likes going though, seeing the charts and generally comes up with more questions than I do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-los-appointments#post-547078 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 12:34:26 +0000 lovehoneybee 547078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, he's come to all of them but the earliest he ever works is noon so we just schedule them in the AM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-los-appointments#post-546872 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 10:45:40 +0000 MamaMoose 546872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He came to the two month and intends to come to the 4 and 6 month as far as I know. I insisted he be there for the two but now that I've been through seeing her get shots and it wasn't so bad I'm fine if it turns out he can't make the other ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-los-appointments#post-546860 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 10:39:46 +0000 Dandelion 546860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH probably won't, cause he won't be able to get off work for them. He might go if it were something urgent, but the routine stuff he'll just leave up to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-los-appointments#post-546855 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 10:38:08 +0000 Bookish 546855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO isn't here yet, but the plan is that once I'm off maternity leave, he's on Dr. duty until I can accrue more vacation. I'm an hourly employee and he's salary, so it'll be much easier for him to take LO to the Dr for an hour than it is for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-los-appointments#post-546839 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 10:30:21 +0000 Bao 546839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: haha that's cute :) I assumed it was normal for just one parent, but I feel bad sometimes that he isn't going. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-los-appointments#post-546810 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 10:15:48 +0000 heffalump 546810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He went when she was a newborn but now he doesn't. It's just not that easy for him to miss work. I'm a sahm and I schedule them around los time, she wakes up late so after breakfast 10 is easiest, not convenient for dh. I just call him when were done with an update, and ask before if he has questions for the doctor.</p> <p>Once when I was there I overheard a little girl asking if daddys are allowed to go to the doctor. Obviously moms going alone are the norm there :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-los-appointments#post-546798 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 10:10:41 +0000 autumnlove 546798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If he can, no a big deal for us to have one parent go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-go-to-los-appointments#post-546795 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 10:09:41 +0000 Bao 546795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH was able to go to LO's appointments, but then he got a new job and it's harder for him to go, since he works all day. He missed her 4 month appointment and will miss her 6 month appointment next month. Does your SO go to LO's appointments? Is it a huge deal if they miss some of them? </p>
