to wonder why you take your DP to your midwife appointments?

[wolfhound]

Just got back from a midwife appointment and wondered (again) why so many fathers accompany their pregnant partners to (presumably) routine midwife appointments. Not criticising, just wondering. I can see why they want to be at the scans, obviously, but just the routine 'urine sample / blood pressure / heartbeat' check surprises me. Or am I missing something?

Because our second son died in the womb, I needed the support from OH at my subsequent mw appts.

I think its a case of not actually being aware of people's full situations to assume that everyone whose OH is accompanying them is having a straightforward pregnancy.
