Did your DP / DH go to your antenatal appointments with you?

I'm 19+3, and DP has been to my midwife appointments with me, an early scan (due to bleeding) and also the 12 week scan.
It's the 20 week scan next week, and he says his boss won't let him leave an hour or so early so he can accompany me. If he wants to go, he will have to take a days leave.
Fair enough I suppose, but DP seems to begrudge taking a day off to accompany me to the scan. Yet he will happily take a day off to spend time on one of his hobbies.
I'm a bit cheesed off, and told him if he won't go with me then I'll ask his sister to accompany me.
Am I being over-emotional? I thought he'd be really keen to go to the scan, but it seems not.

My DP has been to every one of my appointments so far, including GP, midwife and two scans.

I have another midwife appointment next week but i've told him that i really dont mind if he didn't want to come to that as it could be awkward for him for work etc. However, he absolutely LOVED the scans and even gasped out loud when he saw the baby for the first time at the first scan - it was a lovely moment for me to know that he was just as thrilled as i was! He will deffo be with me for my 22 week scan in July tho!
