To think that DH should come with me to our 12 week scan?

[pinkypanther]

Title says it all really. Have my 12 week scan in 10 days. No one knows I am pregnant apart from DH, one of my friends who lives some distance away, and one workmate - haven't told anyone else because I have a history of MC, and had a bad bleed a few weeks ago so am very worried for the pregnancy

I told DH the date as soon as I had it, and two days ago he said he couldn't come as he is "too busy" at work. Apparently he has a training course to go on. It's now a bit too late to rearrange the scan.

I think he should come with me whatever, it is his baby too, and TBH I am really scared that the scan is going to tell me the baby has stopped developing (this has happened to me previously). If the tables were turned I would move heaven and earth to go with him, but AIBU to expect the same? I am going to be the only person there on my own...

Just bumping this up to say (in case anyone is interested) DH has magically managed to move his training to another day so that he can come with me

Apparently in future I am to communicate better when things are important to me (a bit about that - not sure how much clearer I can be than sending him an email entitled "date for your diary" as soon as I had the date and then discussing it immediately...but hey ho, maybe some men need things spelling out)

Hope it all goes OK for all of you.

Hmm so you need to state before any conversation/phonecall/text/email 'THIS IS IMPORTANT'

Go on do it for 23 hours he'll get the message. Cheecky, everything you utter should be important to him

23 hours ??

Aww I'm pleased he can go with you.

Send it with the "high importance red exclamation" checked next time you email him!

Glad he is coming with you. You were definitly not being unreasonable.

Good, am glad and, of course, hope all is well at the 12 wk scan.
