Does your hubby follow you to all appointments?

Currently still in 1st trimester. I went to most of the appointments by myself as I did not want my husband to worry and in fact didn't tell him when I go for some of the follow ups. Recently he was angry when he found out that I went to the appt by myself and didn't inform him (actually he won't go as well but just wanted to know). But he doesn't know that each visit is stressful for me as idk if baby is doing well or if there's anything. I didn't want to stress him out too and rather be independent.

For both my children, hubby went with me for every appt from 1st to last tri. It's like an unspoken agreement between us that anything to do with baby, both shld be present. Similarly, gg for baby's doctor appts aft birth too. I guess it depends on your relationship with ur hubby, that is if he's very involved with household matters or not. You might want to just inform him when are ur appts and leave it to him if he wants to come if u don't really need him to be there. But personally for me, I'd rather have my husband ard so that he's aware of how baby is growing. It also seems to give him that sense of closeness and responsibility twds the baby and perhaps hype him up a lil for the arrival of baby. I've read an article abt hw husband often feels left out when it comes to pregnancy and aft baby is born as they don't get to experience the intimacy of being with baby unlike the mom who carries baby all the way from 1st tri to breastfeeding aft birth.
