Including siblings at ultrasound appointment?

Question

Opinions on bringing older siblings to ultrasound appointments?

Answer

I plan on taking my daughter to least every ultrasound. She is 18M right now and i want her to be involved. I won’t take her to like the GD test, or if I know it’s going to be a long appointment but other than that I want her to be there and involved. I know she won’t have much understanding but I know in my heart that I included her in this special time.

Answer

My daughter is 9 months old and our ultrasound clinic has a rule that only one adult is allowed in with the pregnant person so my mum will be watching her when we get ours done. Even if she was older and I could take her I wouldn't because I'd want to know that the baby is healthy first

Answer

For my second pregnancy my son was 1 1/2 and always took him to my appointments unless I knew they would take forever like for the 20wk ultrasound and glucose test. And plan on doing the same for baby #3 appointments 😊

Answer

It depends on the place you go to. Some do t allow those under 2 or 5 in the room.

Answer

I think it depends on age/maturity of the older sibling and that’s only something parents can decide. Like my 16 month old is way too young to fully understand what it means and would be disruptive to the point my husband and I couldn’t focus on the experience so we won’t be taking her. But if she was a couple years older, could sit there quietly, knew what it meant etc. I would include her. Some places also have policies on whether kids can be there or not.
