Is it common for dads/boyfriends to go to their wife's/partner's prenatal appointments these days? I go in for a wellness check & the waiting room has so many couples in it. I am past childbearing age. I almost feel out of place & a bit uncomfortable. Has anyone else noticed this? Are you part of one of these couples? Enlighten me.
My husband went to all of mine.. That was 3 years ago we were 27.. My sisters bf went to none... They r 22.... Maybe it's age, maturity or just preference I dunno
There is no reason for them to go most of the time. I think it is more common for them to go the first time you can hear the heart beat, and for the ultrasounds.
Mine did but we had waited a long, long time for a Baby and had a lot of medical "help".
I do think that it's a great thing that more men are going to appt, I wonder if it's because of newer/better ultrasounds? I mean, when my mom had us kids, there was nothing for my dad to "see".
I had been to one such Clinic for a gynaec visit and I too did see a lot of couples. I think some men have the time and/or the interest for this. Personally, my Husband thinks I'm capable of visiting doctors alone(and he has never accompanied me to one) and I prefer going alone too. I don't know if pre natal or pregnancy appointments will make this different for me

Cripes, everyone is uncomfortable at a Doctor's Office and as far as going to appointments what do you care who is there for what. If that bothers you so much perhaps you should find a new Doctor that does not treat prenatal women.
