Second pregnancy

Is it normal for the spouse not to attend the second pregnancy appointments? I’m in my 32 week. The only time my spouse accompanied me for the appointment was the first visit. Subsequently, i went for all the appointments on my own as he had just started work. Next week, it’s the growth scan and booking of the Caesarean date. I just reminded him and he said, i thought we agreed for me not to go. I was very sad and i walked out of the conversation. After his statement, it kinda made me feel like he doesn’t want to attend anything with the second kid. It makes me feel sad. Just wanted to check if any second time moms experience this with their spouses.

Pregnancy itself is already hard and tiring. The least a husband can do is to accompany the wife to antenatal appointments no matter which pregnancy it is ? I think maybe from the start you guys should have an agreement that he should follow to all appointments, then it wont be a conflict in future. Else maybe you can inform him, since this is the last few appointments, he should follow. Atleast he can see baby’s ultrasound and also know about baby’s growth from the gynae itself. And to help you prepare.
