I have my first midwife appointment next week Ill be 14 weeks and the midwife thinks that we will be able to hear the heartbeat for the first time... However my boyfriend (who is the baby's dad) doesn't think that he needs to be or should be there. He just keeps saying he can't get it off work (he hasn't even asked for it off).
Am I being unreasonable by expecting him to be there? Everyone one I know who has a baby the baby's dad has come along to hear the heartbeat.
He says that only if there is something wrong and there isn't a heartbeat that he can get out of work.
This is my first viable pregnancy and don't know if I'm being unreasonable by expecting him/wanting him to be there?
It's upsetting me that it's causing arguments between us.
