Tell you what: When you go for your prostate exam, let her in the room with you afterward to overhear all of your questions for your doctor after your doctor has his or her fingers jammed up yer butt.
Seriously. Leave the woman some dang privacy with her doctor.
I think op shouldn't take this so personally. It perhaps has nothing to do with him.
That's what he needs to be afraid of, that it doesn't concern him (other father?) I concur with the "I was present for nearly every gyno visit" I have been their as well for everyone. I cannot believe some people are adovcating all this secrecy.
Why not ask your girlfriend? I don't think telling her "well, strangers on the internet say I should be able to go in with you!" makes for good communication.
Well to each his own, but this is disrespectful in my eyes, especially if she plans to spend the rest of her life with him. If it was just a gyno exam, whatever; but for official life changing news such as a baby, NOPE. He has every right to be in that room.
That would be "Her Own" and he does not have every right to be in that room until SHE decides she wants him in there.

Look, when you are the one having the baby, you can be the one in the room asking the questions.
She may have questions that have to do with ONLY HER, like what changes to expect in her body, what warning signs are that she might be miscarrying, what she can do to help with morning sickness, etc. She may also have questions she is embarrassed to ask in front of ANYone else, like what happens sexually, is there a risk to the baby, etc.
You need to respect patient-doctor confidentiality. It's the LAW.
My doctors office considered the positive home pregnancy test the official result and typically didn't see us until the 12 week mark. So technically you were there for the official result. Congratulations!
I was with my ex for over a decade, and during that time, I was present for nearly every gyno visit. Wasn't my decision, but my ex's. I don't know what type of "private questions " she wants to ask.
Maybe your ex was much more open than your current fiance. Some women are very shy when it comes to gyno visits and pregnancy greatly changes a woman's body. Whatever questions she has, maybe she's just embarassed to ask in front of you. Gyno visits themselves are not exactly the most comfortable situations for many women. Wait for her, like she asked then ask how everything went. Don't prod

Wait, oh helllll no. It's half HIS baby, he has just as much of a right to be there as she does, paternal laws being out there and everything. Well unless you want to say that he doesn't have to take responsibility for the child if he doesn't want to, then and ONLY then would your arguement hold merit.
The "official pregnancy test" is peeing in a cup, not pelvic exam. Maybe she has questions about something embarrassing, like hemorrhoids or weird discharge.

No. Google HIPAA.
