   Thats the weirdest thing i ever heard – my man came to all my ultrasounds with me ( i had a lot) and i was a public patient!
   I even had my mother and mother in law at some of them

   I would find another doctor cause i haven’t heard of that and it sounds like bull my hubby is allowed in all my ultrasounds and he was even allowed in my internal u/s and when I was having problems in the ER he was allowed in. i don’t think it sounds right that he wasn’t allowed in! thats not fair! oh my mom and hubby was allowed in one time also.

   That is pretty strange. My mom was with me when I had my sonogram of my son, and my fiance and son came with me for this pregnancy. She had them wait outside until she was done getting all the measurements and stuff but let them come in to see her dance around and announce we’re having a girl.
   There are places that do ultrasounds outside of the office, some require doctor’s permission, that you might be able to get ahold of and schedule one. One is called “Womb With a View” that’s here in Pennsylvania, not sure where you live. Maybe you can look into that.
   I’m sorry to hear your husband wasn’t allowed in. That would be pretty upsetting.

   I agree with the other posts! He should definitely be allowed in during the ultrasounds and sonograms. That is such a special moment that should be shared by both parents. They let me bring my husband, mom and son into the room. I could understand if they did not want a lot of people in the room but your husband SHOULD BE ALLOWED IN! I would question the reason and if it does not sound reasonable to you I would find a new doctor. That is supposed to be a special moment for both parents!

   That’s absolutely rediculous! If I were you I’d get a new doctor, I know that sounds like a pain in the butt but seriously this is both of yours baby he should be able to go thru this with you and experience the ultrasounds and heartbeat. I’d discuss it with your practice and if they won’t budge I really would switch to someone else cause that’s just odd.
   Congrats and Good luck!

   I would be so pissed too. We have our first ultra sound tomorrow and that’s a very important question I forgot to ask! You may want to call around for that question to different dr offices. With my first, my husband was aloud to be in there for the ultra sound. I live in another state then and it was 8 yrs ago and I’m finding out that the state I live in now is screwed up from what I’m used to. Anyways, call around and see what office/dr will let him be in the room for that but you need to think about the care your getting from the dr too. If your dr is really good and your comfortable with him/her then you may wanna stay there but if your having other problem than the ultra sound then find another provider. Either way talk it over with your husband and if yall want to go somewhere else then go!!!! Good luck

   you should question to why that is? i don’t see any explainable reason for it… i work in a hospital and bring patients regularly for their obstetric ultrasound.. there’s signs everywhere saying while the whole family cant come in the husband/partner is welcome to… this is a very special moment for the both of you.. speak up to your doctor and question this

   I have a great doctor and even when I was sent to the lab for the 20 week ultrasound both my husband and my 3-year-old daughter came with me everywhere. They even gave my daughter pictures of her “new brother” so she could feel special. I just had my 6-week check up and my daughter was there. My doctor didn’t mind.

   My husband has always been in my sonograms. They told me I could bring in my whole family. My friend did bring her mother and sister and husband. Everyone brings there husbands usually. Find another doctor…

    That sucks My doctor’s office has a policy of one visitor per patient, so I guess that sucks if you have kids, but I’d never heard of them not allowing ANYONE in. I’d look for a different doctor. Part of their job is to make you comfortable with your pregnancy experience. I hope that things go better for you and your husband the next time around.

    I go to a clinic for the hospital. The first 2 visits they don’t let anyone come with you at all. But after that you can bring people. Once they call me back as soon as they get my BP, weight and urine then he can come back with me. The ultrasounds he has been at with no questions. I think you need to pitch a stink about that one.

    that is not normal! you do not need a private doctor you dont need any kind of doctor all doctors allow people to come help you , most people actually see it with a bunch of people you should really talk to that doctor actually you should go to another one or tell someone about where you went that place is bad.

    That would totally tick me off! My dr is a public one, and they encourage the father to participate in all aspects. Geez–are they gonna let him in for the delivery? I would discuss this with ur dr, and if not find someone else. Both of you are expecting a new baby–he should get to experience as much as possible.

    I have never heard of that. My husband was let right in.. My first ultrasound was done in teh ER because I was cramping bad, and then my 12 week one was done at the hospital and he was right there. I would ask why he can’t come in. He’s the father.

    Thats never happened to me before…
    I would ask the doctor why.
    He should have been allowed in.
    Maybe you need a different doctor or a different office.

    My son went in with his EX girlfriend. What country are you in?…Even if you were using a public health clinic, they do not have the right to tell you who can come in and hold your hand during an ultrasound.
    ‘the right’…yeah,..God Bless America.

    I agree, find a different doctor. This is your baby and your experience. A doctor shouldn’t ruin the most wonderful time of your life.

    Sounds like you need a new doctor – I’ve never heard of that. my husband has been to ALL of my ultrasounds/sonograms/dr. appointments. Get a new doc.

    Wow I don’t see why he shouldn’t be allowed in. I’d address this concern with my doctor. These are very precious moments you two should experience together!

    Insist on having him go in with you and don’t give up until they let him. Something’s fishy here… I have NEVER heard of this before. Insist, or find a new doctor.

    That is really poor on the Doctor’s efforts, he should be allowed in of course!
