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.

hubby comes with me every appointment. ftm here expecting in June this year. we go for appointment together, plan the things we want to ask the doctor, make informed decisions together. NIPT and fetal scans are stressful on their own. With him around, I feel like I don't have to relay information like those between the doctor and him and that's tremendously helpful. I think it improves understanding between us. fortunate to have that. But some mothers said that it's not practical for their partners because of work or location. I think being on the same page about expectations and involvement is the most important thing. imo do what's best for the 2 of you. there's no real correct formula
