[quote=Anonymous]Op I sympathize, and it sucks (I also just had my first ultrasound), but you had to know this was part of the deal getting pregnant during covid right? It’s a loss for sure, it’s ok to be disappointed. But don’t direct your anger at the offices and your tone like you are owed something during a pandemic (that is about a want and not about safety) is why the responses are a little harsh. While this sucks, saying that there is no way it increases risk is odd. It literally doubles exposure for the healthcare providers who are going into work each day so we can keep having these babies safely during this difficult time for us all. Your husband is just one person, but if every person has their partner Youve now doubled from 20 people the providers have spent extended time in a small room with that day to 40. That is not insignificant.

And don’t forget it is not just for the providers safety but also yours and your baby. You don’t want your provider being exposed to more and more people, and being more likely to get covid or have it spread in the office. Right now we all have to think of the good of the group and not ourselves. It’s hard but truly, you will be okay without him there and my provider said facetime has actually been working really well.

Sit in the disappointment but don’t attach it to others. This is a pandemic problem not a doctor or office problem.

As far as solutions some private ultrasound companies are allowing partners to come. So once you get farther along you can pay to go to one of those to have one of those in person which will be great for both of you. It is a loss for sure and I’m sorry! [/quote]
