Yes. my US checkups were done at a hospital close to home, and i asked for the hubz to be allowed in so many times but they never did... had to record the baby's heartbeat on my cellphone so he could hear it too :(
That's bizarre.....I've never heard of a husband not being allowed in for checkups in the US..the only procedures/checkups where my husband was not allowed to stay with me was when we were going through IVF, and I was in for the egg retrieval procedure. My RE's clinic was set up for this in office, and my husband and mom had to stay in the waiting room....other than that, he's never been kept from a single ultrasound, checkup, shot..anything...

That is weird.They always allow the husband to be there for the ultrasounds.I remember they even once waited for mine when he was running late.They were really considerate.
From what my experience has been of having a baby in the USA,they are super considerate not only for the pregnant woman but also the husband.

I've never heard of a husband not beling allowed to be with the wife during regular check-ups and ultrasound in the U.S. Did they give you any reason for it? (ie. hospital policy?).
lol, thanks Sara516 for clarifying that. I meant ultrasound, and it was done in karachi (had the baby in sydney though)... and this was despite the fact that it was a branch of Aga Khan hospital (the main one is a bit of a drive).
LOL
nobody actually says "G'day mate" except for people who are over 40+
I'm planning on having my child in Japan if I can with or without my husband (at this point I don't really care) they have a really good insurance policy and its cheaper.
I hope hospitals are getting better in South Asia so if I'm stuck in a hot south asian country I won't be terrified that the nurse would try to do something weird to my baby.. (I was born in Sri Lanka and the nurse was horrible towards me and told my mom that I was the worst baby she's ever seen)
^ I dont commonly use the term "G'day mate", but am surprised to see that you think that mostly 40+ ppl use the term.
Most of the people i worked were in their 20's and so many of the true blue aussies would say it...
considering I'm in my 20s and lived in NSW. The only time I heard it was when my relatives or family friends used it.
A lot of my friends used it in a mocking term though :P
Now if you would have said "Taa" or "Taa muchly" or "Maccas"(I didn't realize only Australians say this after a few of my American/British friends were going "whats Maccas?") I wouldn't have any problems.
I was there coz my wife wanted me to be, otherwise i was wishing that hospital shudnt allow any1 inside :(..
Now inshallah history is going to b repeated v.soon, so wish me luck;)
I always teased my hubby that if he came into the labour room I would have one more, i should be careful what comes out of my mouth lol
He wasn't in the room with my 3 deliveries but this time i told him honey you are going to be there lol, i am worried though as i don't know how he will cope. He used to say he doesn't want to see me in pain and i told him yes and all those other hubbies don't sit there enjoying seeing their wife suffering lol
InshAllah when the time cmes he can cope
