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.

Hi mummy, I’m currently 8 months pregnant and my husband attends all appointments together with me. He did not miss a single one as he wants to be actively involved. At the same time, I personally feel that he should attend together as well because he needs to fully understand what I am going through, how much it takes for a woman to be a mother so that he will treasure you and value you. After giving birth, he will continue to be actively involved in taking care of the child as you have “trained” him. Meanwhile, it is also part of communication and education, the baby can feel it. The baby can feel how much you and your husband love him/her and they will grow up very well. So do give him the opportunity to be involved as much as possible.
