OBGYN won’t let partner in for prenatal appointment?

Anonymous
Be honest...was he coughing, sniffling, sneezing, or looking unwell? No one is discriminating against you because you're in your 20s and having a baby.

Norovirus and the flu is going around. You don't want all that.

OP if I were you I’d clarify the policy nicely and show up next time with him masked

The goal is to have a healthy and happy delivery. My spouse went to one scan. It's really not that important.

Patients are entitled to an advocate. Why are they hell-bent on now allowing you one?

That is crazy and I would definitely be mad

What was their reason or rationale for not letting him in?

Lol where were you in 2020. “Entitled” isn’t true at all. They can just drop you as a patient.

What is not normal about this is that you did not ask why or question why others are going back.

Why did you allow that? If it were me I would refuse to be seen and insist they allow him in with me. Fathers deserve to see their baby too

I'm willing to give the doc the benefit of the doubt and see if she has a reason, but I hate this garbage. Of course that's the goal. Doesn't mean the journey has to be miserable. It wasn't important to YOU. It is to the OP.

Hmmmm maybe they thought they needed to ask you some private questions?

If you're old enough to bring a baby into this world then you should be old enough to go to medical appointments by yourself!

Then you would be looking for a new OB and OB's are hard to find these days

This is very very very sketchy. I had a (male) MFM make a sexually abusive joke he never would have made if my husband were there during covid. I would nope the F out of this office in a heartbeat and make sure you tell them why

This has nothing to do with sickness. If you live in the same house you're all sharing the same sickness
