H did for my first two. He would have this time but had an important work meeting that if it was an emergency he could have skipped, but I told him I'd be fine. And I was.
I had my first appt at 6 weeks. He did come and they did do an ultrasound. Actually, he has come to them all so far. I schedule them first thing in the morning so he is available.
He came to one when I was about 15 weeks. It was just a normal appointment but we ended up getting an ultrasound because she couldn't find HB with the Doppler. Then he went to the anatomy scan and that's it. I doubt I'll have him come to any more unless there's a specific reason. They're mostly boring and not worth him taking time off.

He's come to all but one of my appointments. Though that is more because he likes hearing the information, he works right next to my OBGYN's office, his boss is pretty awesome about it, and I appreciate the second set of ears. I think it's genuinely a matter of personal preference though.
He came to the first few (I think I got lucky with the t/v u/s at my first appointment, but I'm also high-risk). After that first appointment (and other than the NT scan and anatomy scan) they get really rote and he dropped off from attending. He did attend my last one with me, and he'll likely attend the next one as well because we want to discuss some things with the doctor/office staff.
Well, in the end it's fine he didn't come. She just went over info with me. It was pretty boring! Thanks for feedback. He'll def be at the next one. If something's wrong, I want him there.

My DH went with me. There was an internal exam, an ultrasound to see the sac, heartbeat, etc. Dr also asked us brief questions about family medical histories, gave timeline of appts, talked about different kinds of testing etc. It was also nice for him to meet the dr too.
It was fun for him to go and he plans to go to all other appts (except glucose).
