Should my boyfriend be coming with me to my first appointment with the midwife?

Question

So it's my first appointment today and I told my boyfriend that it's fine that he doesn't come today because I'd rather him be there for the scans!. Now that my appointment has come I'm worried that I shouldn't be going on my own incase they ask questions I can't answer about him. Kind of regretting telling him he should go to work now but I feel selfish saying anything 😞😢

Answer

They won’t really ask questions about him. Mostly about you. Since you are the one that is carrying the child.

Answer

Honestly I wouldn’t be to worried about your partner being there. I went on my own throughout all of my appointments with my first and I will be doing the same with my second. 
Ante natal appointments are pretty boring tbh, it’s always a chat about how you’re feeling, them listening to the heartbeat and checking urine etc maybe the scans would be the ones for him to go to though as they’re pretty special

Answer

I only have my husband come to any where we’ll be talking about test results. So, for instance I’m having a sequential screen done, he’ll come for any appointment related to that and the results.

Answer

Mine comes to every appointment.

Answer

My husband came to the first and probably will not again until I’m closer to the end of pregnancy, we both work and it’s easy for me to work half a day and then go- he either works a whole day or none at all

Answer

My husband comes to the ultrasounds but nothing else. Most of the prenatal appointments are super boring and I don’t even really want to go haha.

Answer

First appointment is a bunch of questions about momma. They don’t really ask dad anything (I find that odd but, whatever). 
Although, it was priceless seeing his reaction when they asked if he was Dad😂

Answer

Nah. My husband only comes to the scan appointments. It’s a waste of time for them to come to others. It will be pretty in and out.

Answer

My partner only came to my scans as otherwise it all gets a bit much with them having to take such frequent time off, often to just sit and not really do much. The scans were something for us both however 😊

Answer

My husband comes to all my appointments but he’s also lucky and his work lets him leave early for all my appointments because we’ve had two previous miscarriages. Honestly though he definitely doesn’t need to be there for most appointments, it’s pretty boring besides the ultrasound part and they always print pictures for you to take home anyway. The only thing they really ask the father is if they have any genetic issues on their side of the family.
