Do you take your partner to midwife appointments?

[Birchtree4]

Hi everyone

I have my first midwife appointment in a few weeks just before the 8 week mark.
Is this generally a "milestone" that you would take your partner to, or will it mainly be questions about me and getting blood taken?
He will happily come along with me but not sure if it is the done thing.

Also, at this stage do you discuss rough plans around birth, or does that come later?
Thanks!

Just an additional comment on the heartbeat, I asked the midwife if it would be okay to record the sound of the heartbeat on my phone so DH could listen when I got home and that was fine. I still have the recording even though DS is at school now!
