las:
I am eight weeks pregnant with my first. I am scheduled for my first appointment next week. The Dr. office said they will do an ultrasound and I am assuming it will be vaginal. My husband is somewhat uncomfortable with this and unsure if he wants to go but he is excited about seeing the heartbeat. Do most men go in the room for this? Should I encourage him either way?
My husband came with me to every dr appointment except one. I know it made him feel better to hear everything strait from the dr and not just what I could remember from the visit. It's one thing if I tell him everything is fine...it's another when he can see it and hear from the Dr that everything is fine.
I think you should really encourage your husband to go with you...this will be easy compared to what he will experience when you deliver! It's also really neat to see how much the baby is already moving even though you won't feel it for another few months!
Good luck with your pregnancy!
