Shared Finances during pregnancy

Curious for other families. If you and your husb have almost similar income, do you go 50-50 on all the hosp and medical bills or do the husb contribute more since we are the 1 carrying a the baby. Right now I am also going on hospital visits alone and husb only goes on "important" scans. As I am the 1 doing hospital trips by myself, which is tiring just driving to and fro and as I am high risk, I need to go down more frequently. And I am also the 1 going thru all preggy changes and symptoms. I am not complaining but curious to how other couples manage and share their baby finances and see which are good and useful to adopt. #family #finances

In my opinion, If i'm not working then I expect my husband to pay for everything otherwise if both of us are earning about the same income I won't really need him to contribute more since baby belongs to both of us after all. It really depends on the current financial situation because he could be paying for other stuff as well. As for the gynae visits majority are like mainly q&a which barely lasts more than 15minutes plus long waiting time in between so I usually go alone except for those important scans whereby he will accompany me. I feel that it's better for him to save those half day leaves or time off for urgent cases rather than wasting his time waiting together with me.
