Midwife appointments

Nope it’s completely normal! It’s actually pretty helpful for him to come so you can both make decisions together like a birth plan, feeding plan, etc. my fiancé comes to every one of my midwife appointments to help me make decisions about our baby
My partner has come to every single one, completely normal! It’s been super helpful to have him there and it’s helped him being able to ask the midwife questions too! Xx
Mine has come to most I’d say it’s normal don’t feel weird about it lol❤️
mine came with me to the two appointments i needed to have blood tests at because i struggle with them, but besides those two i went on my own. i would have him there if he wasn’t working, i think its normal either way x
My husband comes to any of mine that fall when he isn't at work. Scans he comes out of work to attend too x
It is absolutely normal. My husband comes with me to all of my appointments, from the least week up until now, even my gdm on time session. It’s been very helpful for both of us to make proper plans. I think inclusion of the men goes a long way or I would say I’m spoilt😩. But it’s not weird at all and the midwives love to have them take part as well.
I wish mine could come with me but he can’t have time out of work😢 he was only allowed to have time out for the 12 & 20 week scans, definitely normal! X
My partner has come to all on mine. His work has been really good at allowing him to have the time off x
My husband has been to all of mine!
Mine takes time off work to attend any appointments, it’s completely normal and encouraging for you
Mine hasn't due to no support in childcare so he has to sadly stay at home whilst I go to the check ups
Mine takes the time out of work and comes to every appointment. He wants to be part of everything and I feel very lucky for that 🥰 defo a very positive thing for you to have him there 🤍
My boyfriend went to a couple the first time round, but this pregnancy I’ve gone to them all on my own only appointments he’s been to are the 12/20 week scans
Mine hasn’t been to any so far aside from scans (not even booking) but it is number 2. I think he might come to the 35 week one this week though so we’re on the same page about birth plan. In fact midwife also suggested bringing first child along to get her involved which I’ve yet to do 😅

Thank you everyone! He always comes to our scans and gets off work for them, but I wasn’t sure if midwife appointments it would be weird or not since they’re usually quite quick. He can definitely come with me then, I don’t know why I thought it would be weird since it’s his baby too🤣🙈🤍
My husband comes when he can and I do try to organise them so he can come! It’s completely normal to have them there and he finds it really special to hear LO’s heart beat as well!
My partner comes to all my appointments xx
My partner comes to my midwife appointments if he’s off, sometimes it helps if they come as the midwife can ask them questions too xx
If my husband isn't working then generally he will come with me to midwife appt. I like him to be there for the consultant ones too if I can and for scans but not always possible. He's been to a fair few appointments with me so far.
100% normal
If he wants to and can come I see no issue with it! Both pregnancies my husband has only attended the 12 and 20 week scans due to work commitments but I'm absolutely fine with that. It's whatever works for you guys x
Mine comes to pretty much all of mine if he can if he doesn’t come my midwife tends to ask where he is 😂
No its totally normal😊😊
