My husband always comes to the prenatal appointments, but stays in the lobby watching our son (16M old). I have never asked him to join me for an exam but would love for him to hear our new baby's heartbeat on the doppler. It's my second pregnancy and he's never had a chance to hear a little heartbeat before (on either child)!

Does anyone's spouse join them? Does your doctor mind - even if it means also bringing a small child into the room?
 
My daughter was only 5 months old when we found out we were expecting again and the midwives etc have never had a problem with her being there all the time. She's come to all of the scan's and my ante-natal appointments, so my fiance has made it too most of them. Unless he's working.
 
my hubby went it for everything even if he had to bring our other kids in with him. he said he wanted to be n know everything to get to know our knew baby. i was always surprised. just ask him it will be nice u will c it in his face when he hears it.
 
i'm pregnant with my 3rd child, with my first my partner came to the sexing scan only but with the last two he came when he could get time of work! My youngest is only 11 month old he we take him and his 3 year old sister in with us! The doctors don't mine at all! Your son will enjoy being involved with the pregnancy and it may help him adjust to a new baby! Hope this helps
 
my twin's father comes in the room with me every visit. we are no longer together but he holds my 10 month old son while my doctor does the ultrasound. ( i got lucky with my doctor, he does an ultrasound every visit ) as long as you child doesn't bother the doctor he wont mind. my exam room is pretty small and i have a large stroller but he doesn't mind one bit. he always plays with my son before he gets the exam started.
 
my husband came to 90% of my appointments with both kids, he would come in and be there for the whole thing, I believe there were a few times they would ask for just me to come in first, then get him to come in 10 mins later, I think it's to be sure if there was anything I needed to say, I could do so without him there, my docs never minded him coming in though they thought it was sweet
 
My mom usually comes with me. Its my first pregnancy so I lik having her there for emotional support. I want my husband to join me though at one point to either see the baby in an ultrasound or hear the heartbeat. Most doctors won't mind a husband, and if the child behaves they probly wouldn't care either.
I think its cute for a couple to be able to hear the heartbeat together.
