i haven't had dh come since our anatomy scan at 19 weeks and our 3d scan at 29 weeks.
it's just been regular check-ups, bp, pee test, and hearing hb, so i've had him skip them...
i start my weekly appts next week, so i think i may have him come to the last few with me.

I've had my husband come to all of my appointments with me and he only missed one due to work. He really wanted to go to them and usually asks more questions than I do.

My husband just came with me to the NT Scan and the Anatomy Scan. We have a meeting with the heads of our practice during the 3rd tri to talk about birth preferences/plans so he'll definitely come to that but I think that'll be it, barring any complications.

He came to the ultrasound at 8 and 13 weeks, and will for he gender scan in two weeks. But that is probably going to be it.

The only appointment he skipped was my 3 hour GD test (and the check-up I had in the middle of it), and he only skipped it because I didn't see the need for him to sit with me in the lab for that long. He dropped me off and picked me up bearing food when it was done.

He only comes if there's an ultrasound. Starting at 36weeks I'll prob have him come to all.

He's out of work right now so can come any time. It's been great to have him there!

He comes to all of my appointments. But we always talk with the midwife for at least half an hour, so it's worth coming to.

I think he stopped coming around 28 weeks? Now I can only seem to make morning appointments and he can't get away from to work to come with me, so he probably won't come to anymore of my appointments.

He went to my last appointment for our first ultrasound and we heard the heartbeat! We both asked a ton of questions!

He has been to every appointment for both pregnancies (only three so far for baby #2). To him, it isn't an option not to go. He loves hearing the heart beat as much as I do.

He has gone for the major ones like heartbeat, NT, and anatomy. Otherwise, I haven't had him come since it is my 2nd. He went to every appt the first time.

I think anatomy scan at 20 weeks. The rest of the appts were pretty routine so he saved his PTO for paternity leave.

He went to my last appt at 38 weeks because he wanted to talk to the doctor about induction plans...he wasn't happy to hear that she'll "only" let me go to 41+2. I on the other hand, was unhappy to hear I have to wait that long!

Wednesday! I told him he didn't need to since it was a regular checkup for me too, but he insisted. He also asks a ton of questions! I think he hates the idea of not going and there being a problem and that's the one he misses.

He came to the anatomy scan & appt at 18w and her growth scan ultrasound at 30 weeks because he was afraid something was wrong.

He plans on coming to them all! He took off work this coming Monday to go with me to hear the heartbeat.

My husband came to the 12 week appt (when we heard the heartbeat), anatomy scan appointment at 20 weeks and then another after that at some point (maybe week 24 ?). He hasn't been able to come since and I've been happy to have him save his leave for when the baby is actually here.
The practice I'm with had a meet-and-greet a couple weeks ago and he was able to introduce himself to and get to know all the midwives and a couple doctors in the group. Even though he hasn't been at my appointments with them, he's more comfortable having met whomever might be the midwife on call when I go into labor.
I will probably have him come to my appointments starting at 38 weeks though (I'm 36.5 now) when I rotate back to my primary midwife and things get really close!
