Up to this point (29 weeks) I've been to my midwife appointments alone and DH has come to the scans. I've not felt a need to have him there and earlier on thought there was no point him taking time off for general appointments in case I needed extra scans etc later on that I wanted him to attend.
I've got my 28 week appointment tomorrow and it just so happens he has a day off work, the two were not planned to coincide. He's assumed he's coming with me, I don't mind even though I think they're quite boring, he seems excited, but will the midwife think I'm being weird or needy if I bring him?
For context I had a UTI for eight and a bit weeks, no symptoms, I was dip tested twice (6 weeks apart), the tests showed possible infection, sample sent off and told they would call if I did have an infection and needed treatment and if I didn't hear everything was fine. They didn't call either time, the second time I followed it up after the lack of contact first tube, but couldn't get hold of my midwife for a week after, so ended up calling the hospital and speaking to the senior on call midwife, as I was going away and needed to know if I had to get antibiotics before I went, by this point I had actually had an infection for eight and a half weeks. Senior midwife was cross I hadn't been informed twice and I had to go to the hospital to collect meds. I then got a very apologetic text from my new midwife, so assume the senior said something to her. They also cancelled my GTT three times with no reason. I think some of this is why DH wants to come and support me, he's not the kind who'd say anything to MW or make a fuss so I'm not worried about that. But equally I know the midwifery team at my local hospital are sorry staffed and on their knees, up to my last appointment I didn't have an allocated MW and saw someone different each time, I don't want my now allocated midwife to think I'm bringing him for any particular reason.
Am I just massively overthinking this?
