For LO's first few months my husband and I would both take LO to the doctor. He wanted to be there to make sure everything was ok, and he liked asking the doctor questions himself because I tend to forget things. But now I just take her myself. He can't keep skipping work to take LO, especially since I'm home with her anyway.

Just me. I think DH has only tagged along twice, once for each DD when they were newborns... that's it!
-
I do- my husband came with me during maternity/paternity leave, but the last few he gives me any questions that he has and I go since he has to work.
-
I do. DH has only been to one appointment and thats because we had to go in the day after we got out of the hospital so he wasn't back at work yet.

It depends. For routine checkups we both try to go. If my son gets sick in the middle of the day I typically take him only because his daycare is closer to my work. If he gets sick in the middle of the night and stays home the next day and a doctor visit is needed, then my husband does it because he gets sick leave from his company and I don't.
-
Always DH and I. We schedule all of his appointments on the days he is off.
-
DH and I go to all of her appts together. He's missed 2 visits because he was traveling though.

I take them mostly. I am a SAHM so I am with the kids 24/7. My husband can't ever answer the questions like diet, fluid intake, sleep. He took our twins for their last check up. I was home with our new born. He ended up calling me and letting the nurse just talk to me. She laughed at him and said he wasn't the first dad to not know how many veggies the kids eat
If you have trouble remembering things you can try tasking a notebook. I have one for doctors visits do I can write down their height and weight. I also write any questions I have before I go so I remember what I wanted to ask

He will probably go to the first few appointments. After that, we will probably swap off since we'll both be working. Honestly, I'm kind of a control freak so, I'll probably want to be the one taking her in.

Same here - at first the hubs would come with me but now that we're "seasoned" parents (yeah right...) the hubs doesn't feel the need to take time off work so I just go with LO.
