Yes he went to all the ultrasounds and tried to come to a handful of prenatal appointments. I appreciated the support and we both loved looking at the baby!

He came to the big ultrasound appointments, not my regular checkups though.

My DH has come to all the u/s which were a lot in the beginning then spaced out as the pregnancy has gone one. He loves them and never wants to miss them. All other appointments I am solo.

He probably would have come to them all anyway, but now, after so many terrible ones, it's not optional. I can't handle them alone, even though we've only gotten good news on this LO.

Yes with my first bc we only has the dating ultrasound and then the anatomy and gender ultrasounds. So just 3
With my second he couldn't bc there were too many ultrasounds. He came to the first 3 just like DD1 and the 2 after that where they were doing extra monitoring...and then I was hospitalized and doing weekly ultrasounds and he couldn't be at every one of those

@Torchwood: this will definitely be the case for me with any future pregnancies

I had quite a few and DH couldn't make it to one of them so my mom went with me.

He's come to all of them, so far, with this one. With LO1, I had a lot of ultrasounds due to GD and he came to most. The couple that he didn't, my mom or sister went with me. I don't go to ultrasounds alone because I found out about my missed m/c at an ultrasound (no prior m/c symptoms at all) and I never want to have to go through anything like that alone.

Yes, and he came to all of my prenatal appointments as well (minus the one that came in the middle of my 3 hr glucose test, but he still dropped me off and picked me up after so I wouldn't have to drive feeling so crappy).

With LO1 he came to the dating scan, 12 week scan and 20 week scan. I needed scans every 2 weeks after 26 weeks so he missed those due to work. (Had to be done at certain times for the hospital's schedule)
He has been to the same ones with this LO, if I need any more then I'll try my hardest for him to be there otherwise my mom will come with me.

He made it to the scheduled ones. I had a couple that they did just at my regular check ups that he missed but I always brought him the pictures.

He came to the ones at 7, 12 and 20 weeks but ny pregnancy was high risk so they because more frequent in the last few months and he didn't come to them. He didn't come to any of the other prenatal appointments.

All but one ultrasound (he was home minding the napping toddler!), both my OB appointments and one midwife appointment.

Maybe one with DS none with dd. Too much time to take off work for a quick u/s.

Yes I had 3 and he came to all of them. He missed the other dr appointments except when I had a scare - I made him come to that unscheduled appointment.

He's come to all the scheduled ultrasounds so far. I had one that I wasn't expecting because I went in with some abdominal pain. They did an ultrasound just to make sure, but it turned out to be a urinary tract infection.

The first two, but unfortunately, he was home with a sick E for the anatomy scan!

If it worked out with work he did come if it didn't he didn't come. I always asked my OB for a picture to show to dad.
cantaloupe / 6171 posts
No but I had a lot! He came to the NT and 20 week scans and a couple others, but my dr does a low level one at almost every appointment and then after 32 weeks I was getting scans at least once a week for low fluid so it was much too many for him to come, I preferred him to save up his pto for after lo was born

No. But I had them every 2 weeks from 13-26 weeks. He came to the important ones - the first, the anatomy scan, and the final one.

Yes and I had 4 or 5 scheduled ones. He was really interested in how ultrasounds work and asked a lot of technical questions when we were with the tech! He liked trying to identify the baby's position and which limbs were which. The tech was impressed!

I got an ultrasound pretty much every time I went in, so no. But I would say he made it to like 90%.

Wow, I can't believe all the hubby's that went to all of them!! Dh only went to the very first one.. that was it...
clementine / 920 posts
So far I have had ultrasounds at each one of my appointments so DH has come with me to all of them. However, I am not expected to have any more unless there are issues so he won't accompany me for regular OB checks.

We did all appointments and u/s together. That was for LO 1, I am sure he'll do all u/s next time, but will likely skip 1/2 of the prenatal appointments. Sorry kid two!
