    He came to my dating US at 7 weeks, first MW appt at 8 weeks and the NT scan at 12 weeks. He hasn't come to the MW since (I've only been once more) and he unfortunately cannot make it to my anatomy scan next week He will come when he can, but it won't be often now that he's in a training program at work.

    He came to the first 2, then I realized that every appointment was the same so I told him it wasn't worth missing work for. He came to the ultrasound and would come to anything important like that. Now PP he doesn't come to babes regular checkups but I make him come for immunizations.

    We scheduled mine so my DH came to them all.

    He came to a few with my first and mostly all with my second (because I needed help with DS).

    I see a doctor 3x a week due to my GD and lower than average weight baby. It's no fun, and I go alone. DH doesn't have time off of work to go to my appointments. He has only gone to 3 of my ultrasounds (dating, NT, and level 2). I've had 5+ ultrasounds since then.

    He came for the ultrasounds and the 8 week dating one. After that, I did them by myself.

    So far, DH has only missed 1 appointment. Otherwise, he has always come with me.

    Every time, and I'm thankful for it. I've even gone so far as to reschedule appointments if DH needs to travel or has a meeting he can't move. We have ultrasounds at every monthly appointment though, so he has extra incentive and would feel like he missed out if he wasn't there.

    Yep- every one with the first, and every one so far with the second, although I think he has to miss my 24w appt tomorrow.

    He usually only comes for something important, like ultrasounds. The OB appts are not too exciting...

    He's come to almost every one, even though I've told him that the monthly ones are really just the same old routine. I think he's only missed 2-3 because of work or travel. Now that we are near the end though, the appointments are more interesting (am I dilated yet?) so he insists on coming to all of them.

    Yup! I think he only missed 1 and it was due to scheduling conflict, and it was a quick check up (in and out in 5 minutes, no u/s).

    Now that DS is here, he goes to all those appt with me too. It's nice.

    My DH has been to every apt except for the Glucose test.

    He came to the first appointment, and then to the ultrasounds. The other appointments (so far) have been very quick, and my dr's office is much closer to my office than to my husband's. It would really be a waste of his time to make him schlep there for a quick heartbeat scan, blood pressure test, and weigh-in.

    Yep he comes to every one. He got a little sad/offended ehen I told him he didn't have to come to the short ones if he didn't want to!
