[quote=Anonymous]I think that having your husband come to the "big" prenatal appointments is good, if you can swing it.  I was glad my husband was there when they were taking our family history, and he was really excited about the ultrasounds.  Plus, if the anatomy scan showed any problems, I would have been glad of his support.

Prenatal appointments are a little different from my regular medical appointments, I think.  It is his baby, too, after all, and being able to see how it's growing is pretty amazing.  Plus, I knew I would be counting on his support during labor, so it made sense for him to be involved along the way.  If he hadn't been able to come because of work or whatever, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but it was nice that he was able to (my doctor's office was a block away from his office).  And he certainly was not the only man in the waiting room--we routinely saw at least one and sometimes two or three other guys with their wives.

But the routine BP/HB/urine sample appointments?  Why bother?  [/quote]
