To feel a bit crap because

[AMillionMilesFromThere]

I've come for my first antenatal booking in appointment, just sat in the waiting area and can see loads of partners have come too.. don't think dh has ever been with me for any of my antenatal appointments (3rd pregnancy), because he's always busy with work and is ever practical .

I'm not sat crying over it - I just felt abit ... I dunno. Don't even know why I'm posting really ! Aibu to feel abit crap though?

Well said florida. My DP wanted to come to appointments and did. We are both working professionals so just booked appointments after work or at weekends. Some horrendous judgements shown on this thread.

But Womble absolutely no one is suggesting that he is less supportive or anything of the sort. Lots of women may not want or need their partners at every appointment. Lots of partners may not be able to come even if needed. I don't look at women on their own and judge them or their hypothetical partners.
The only reactions are to the people making snarky judgements about partners who are there, and how they might be on the dole or are wearing tracksuit bottoms or dragged their by their wives and so on.

DH never came with me to mine for my 3 pregnancies - did come for the scans where he could (but not always) but he was there for the birth and afterwards, which is the important bit...

DH only came to my scans, not the midwife check-ins. Like the OP, I did notice that lots of other partners were there, but I genuinely felt that it would be a waste of his time to watch me repeat that there were no problems that I knew of and get my blood pressure taken for 5 minutes after a 40 minute wait.
However, when the midwife thought DC might be in the wrong position and sent me to get that checked at hospital, I also didn't bring DH, and that was a mistake: the baby was still healthy but very firmly breech and I was told that basically it wouldnt be coming out without a c-section. I was fine about the whole c-section vs natural birth issue, but I heard 'won't be coming out without' as 'you and the baby have less than 3 weeks to live (eg: before dying horribly in childbirth) unless we do surgery', which I'd have appreciated having someone with me for!
