| Are anyone’s spouses allowed to come to appointments? I have an ultrasound scheduled and Dr. Office is still saying no +1s. |

| Nope. Not at Foxhall. |

| The regular OB and the ultrasound center, yes, spouse allowed. The MFM, no spouse. |

| GW just changed its policy a week or two ago and is now allowing a +1 |

| I’m with the WHC OBGYNs (and MFMs) and one person has been able to come to all of my appointments. |

| They only allow it for confirmation US, and anatomy scan at my OB office. |

| Not at Kaiser Permanente. Really kind of a bummer, esp on anatomy scans. |

| I'm at WHC with the midwives, and I've been allowed one adult person at all visits, including ultrasounds and regular visits, for at least a month or two now. I'm 27 weeks, and I think only my very first appointment I had to go alone. |

| My MFM is always +1. OB has a no visitor policy even the baby at the 6 week appointment. |

| Reiter Hill just started allowing spouses at ultrasounds. |

| No +1 for my MFM. My OB only allows a +1 for the ultrasounds. Wondering if either of these will change soon since both of us have been fully vaccinated for a while. |

| Foxhall just told me plus one can come if they are vaccinated |

| Georgetown has been allowing partners at appointments since at least November (big reason why we chose them). |

That’s insane. Where is baby supposed to go?!? Spouses and family are usually backs here they belong by then, and who trusts a stranger with a six week old baby?!? |

| I’m so jealous that some of your obs are changing policies. I really wanted Dh there for my 20 week ultrasound. Because I didn’t have a person there with me- the radiologist didn’t talk the entire appointment or point anything out. In fact I could even see the screen. So different than my prior two pregnancies where Dh was with me. It made me really nervous something was wrong. |
