Booking in appt - DH too?

Hello ladies,
Bit of a stupid question really... I have my booking-in appt on Fri (I'll be 12+3) and DH and I are wondering if he should come with me or not? I had IVF so have had a scan at 8 weeks, and I know we won't have a scan on Fri, so it hardly seems worth his while if it's just a list of questions about my medical history... Any opinions would be gratefully received!!

Mine didn't come to the booking in but he's come to the other appointments so far because he likes to hear the baby's heartbeat. Also I have bad SPD and he sometimes has to drive me to the doctors so he might as well come in too.

It is weird not to have blood tests done at booking in, though. I was tested for all sorts at mine.

I didn't want to make another thread, but my hospital is doing an all in one appointment. Booking, bloods and 12w scan, it's meant to be about 2-3hrs long!

DH will want to be at the scan, so should I just ask him to come to the whole thing? As it doesn't specify when the scan will be time wise.

Slightly annoying for him as he will lose a lot of £££ for the day off and the hospital I wanted was really close to his work. So I was hoping he would be able to work still and just pop over but that won't be possibly with the hospital I've been referred to.
