We both go, typically. Luckily our practice is open late and on Saturdays.

in the beginning we both went, but lately it's just been me. i would totally be sad if i couldn't go, plus there's no way dh would ask the questions i would want him to! haha!

@autumnlove: So far we've only gone together. I could definitely see something coming up in the future and only one of us going. Could go either way depending on what was going on at each of our job's.

Mostly me because he doesn't know the right questions to ask. He always comes home and I'm like "how's her growth? What did she say about development?" and he's like "I dunno. She didn't say anything, do I guess everything is fine". Now I know for a fact that he and the pediatrician did not sit in silence, but what they said, I'll never know! (unless it was a Lala appointment in which case she'll tell me word for word!)

We went together the first few months, now I go on my own since I WOH part time (and I like to be the one to ask the questions
)

I mostly do it alone and I'm fine with that - doesn't make sense for him to take off work, but my work is flexible. he came to the first few when he was on paternity leave (and those mattered more to me, when she was brand new).

Usually it's just me. I had my parents come to the first few just to help out. My husband will come to the 1 yr. check up with me.

@Mrs. Jacks: @MrsF: I should give him a list of questions!

Together. I schedule them on the weeks that dh is on nights then I try to do it at the beginning of the week so dh can come. I would go alone but dh takes the car to work.

We always go together. Husband's schedule is nice and flexible.

I always do since I SAH and DH works. Lately my mom has been coming with me.

For the first year DH and I went together. His schedule isn't as flexible so I usually go alone now. I'm horrible at asking questions. I feel better when he's there with me.

We went to the last one together and I hope to be able to make it to as many as possible even though it is easier for my husband to take time off to go. The one before the last he went on his own and when I asked about how it went I didn't get a whole lot of feedback except for that he told our pediatrician that LO drank way more oz than he actually does and she seemed alarmed.

I took him to the first couple because I was on maternity leave and DH was working. Then he took him to a couple because I had just went back to work and it was hard for me to get time off. Now that I'm doing the SAHM thing I take him, which sucks because DH handled him getting shots wayyyy better than me. I'm working on it though - I don't want to seem anxious to L and have my fear of needles rub off on or effect him in any way.

we have gone together, although LO is only 9 months so it may change in the future.

I take her and my mom comes along because DH only gets so many paid days off.

I do because DH's schedule is totally inflexible. I told him he needs to take them to the next one by himself. Managing two babies for check-ups and shots by myself is not fun. Especially when the doctor is running behind.

Me, but I"m a SAHM...if DH can get off work early, he tries to come too!
I'm so surprised how many people go together! DH made it a point to go to his 1 month, 2 month, and 4 month appts, but since then we didn't feel it was necessary (although always nice to have backup during shots!)/.

My DH - he is off every other Friday so I schedule them for that day and let him endure the kids getting shots - ugh, I just cant handle it when my kids cry =(

With DS, we went together for they majority of them. DH works later so lately he hasn't been able to go, so it's been just me. But he usually takes them for sick visits in the evening/on the weekend

Just me! He's probably only tagged along to 1-2 visits, between the 2 kids.

Just me. He went to the first 2, but after that, We didn't really think it was necessary for him to try and schedule around it. But then I also attended almost every one of my pregnancy checkups alone, as well. I guess don't really get the point of both of us going and I don't care if he goes or not.
