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.

i've been gg to the appointments alone since my first baby and currently pregnant w second. he only joins if he's able to get leave and usually once or twice during scans. initially during my first pregnancy when i see husbands ard, i'd feel sad but aft a while i realised it's better to go alone 😂😂 some husbands just be there and don't even give up their seats for those who are actually there for their appt - in this case i'm referring to pregnant mothers. you can let him know that it's better if you go alone as there is nth he can do there (let's be real ok unless you have a toddler to take care of then it's a diff case.....) just assure him that you'll update him in every appointment for growth of baby - you may even suggest that he follows you only for scans as it's not gonna be frequent. personally i don't see a need for me to have my hubby ard during consultation or just checking fetal heartbeat.
