Did your husband go with you for the first ultrasound?

Question

I'm having a seven-week ultrasound this week. Will he get to see/hear enough to take off work to go with me? He really wants to!

Answer 1

Due to work my hubby couldn't come to the 1st ultrasounds with either of my girls, but my mum came with me.

The first time she came cause we were worried it was more then one, (doc's thought it could of been quads) due to my belly growing so quickly and huge HCG numbers lol, thank goodness it was only one. lol, Hubby came for rest of ultrasounds though and was no way missing the gender scan one lol.

If he's going to miss any at all the first one is probably the best one, as it's generally too early to see anything clearly yet and all that (there's really not that much to see in the first one, just a big sac with what looks like a tiny looking kidney bean in there lol), but the ones after are all the good ones where things are much more visiable and easier to hear heartbeat etc.

Answer 2

I think that's something your husband would love to go to and regret if he didn't.  Ultrasounds are so neat, and so worth taking the day off work.  Good Luck

Answer 3

yes they do get to come into the room, mine did..

Answer 4

at my check up we got to see the baby we didnt hear the heart beat but seeing him was totally worth it!

Answer 5

My husband has gone to all of my ultrasounds for all three of our children. We took our oldest daughter to see her sister's first ultrasound and the one at 30 weeks. We took both our daugthers to those two for our son who is due next month. We didn't take them to the ultrasound when we found out the  gender because we wanted to plan a special way to tell them.

If he is ready to be a father he should be ready to go to any appointment that you want him to go to!!

Answer 6

It's an amazing experience no matter how far along you are.  To someone else it may seem silly because in all realitly there isn't really much to see at seven weeks, but to hear and see the heartbeat of your child is indescribable.  If he wants to go encourage it because many man don't show as much interest.

Answer 7

during your seventh week, there isnt really much to see, i know he would really want to go because its the 1st ultrasound...

but yeah there isnt really much to see..

CONGRADULATIONS!

Answer 8

Mine goes to all my appointments. He hasn't missed one appointment yet. He should try and go to all your appointments because it's a great experience for you and him.

Answer 9

We saw ours at 7 weeks. We saw the baby and heard it's heartbeat. My husband and 3 kids all went.

Answer 10

Yes, for all of my kids my husband never missed one!  He will definitely see enough

Answer 11

If you are actually 7wks, he will be able to see a few things. At this point it doesnt look as much like a baby as you would think or like. The baby's heart starts beating around 5wks and is able to be seen at the 7wks ultrasound for sure!  If he wants to, i say have him take pff work and go. This is an happy time and let him share in it as much as he wants too!! Congrats and Good luck!

Answer 12

Well there really isnt much there at that stage, the baby doesnt look like much more than a small stump. My partner tries to go to all of mine but his job is very flexible so he just comes for the appointment and goes back to work. At seven weeks you might get to see the heart beating on the ultrasound but the nuchal translucency scan is much more eventful and the baby looks human by then, and its only 5 weeks away for you : ) If he wants to be there then no reason not to go as long as he still can take time off for the cooler ones lol

Answer 13

it's still pretty hard to make out much at that first ultrasound - but you will get to see the heart beat.

but then it doesn't really matter - it's a good chance for him to start bonding with the baby.  If he wants to go then let him.
