Did you go to your prenatal OB appointments alone?

Question

Answer

Yup. Don’t need anyone with me to check my BP and weight.

Answer

My boyfriend came to every little thing with me. But we are like that we go to everything with each other all the time. Been like that for 7 years don’t want to change it! I usually plan things around his schedule just so he can make it!

Answer

Ultrasounds no, everything else, yup!

Answer

Like all but the anatomy and then my mom went to one. There’s literally no point it takes maybe 15 mins max. You pee in a cup , take weight, ask if you have any questions, listen to babies heartbeat for like 30 seconds and leave.

Answer

The first one no, we got a dating ultrasound and it was medical history my husband knew better than me. All the rest yups, all they do is take my weight and measure my BP and that would be a waste to have him there.

Answer

My husband has gone with me to every one so far because it works with his schedule so why not. 
But he isn’t going to my appointment in 3 weeks because I’m getting my GSB swab and he’ll just laugh like a 5 year old and make it awkward 😂

Answer

My husband comes with me when he has the chance. I see a midwife and all appointment are about an hour and very little is about my physical condition. We talk about how to prepare for motherhood, our fears about how our life and relationship will change. Very little in my appointments are medical. Of course, I pee in a cup, take my BP and check my weight but if all is normal we talk about preparing for this big change.

Answer

My husband works full time 30 minutes away and it's a new job. It's unrealistic of me to ask him to leave work every four weeks. However I totally don't mind going alone, especially since they're usually just blood draws and peeing in a cup lol. But my hubby has taken off work for every u/s. I don't expect any more than that. (:

Answer

A majority of them they just check your pee, weight, BP, and answer any questions you may have. It’s not like anyone is missing out on much. My husband goes with me unless he has to work during the appointment. He does like being part of it. But if he can’t because of work it’s not a big deal.

Answer

Most yes, they’re boring as hell.  SO came to the 13 week appointment to hear the heartbeat and meet the midwife and he went to the anatomy scan.  I’ve told him I definitely don’t need him there for my other prenatal appointments though.  It’s literally just blood pressure, weight, heartbeat, uterine palpitation, same boring questions, go home.  If there were any complications then I might ask him to come for support but right now it’s just boring.
