Hello all, I am 24 years old and engaged. I am going for my yearly exam next week and I think I want to bring my fiance along with me. I want him there so he can get comfortable with being at the GYN so when we get pregnant it's not a huge shock, and I want him to be familiar women's health issues and have an idea of what we go through. Is this a wired thing to do? Do women usually bring their BF/Husband/Sinificant Other to the doctor with them for GYN exams?
Thanks in advance for info,
Diane
Sorry about the pst in the Fun & Games section, I clicked on the wrond area.

Good for you! That is a great idea! The more the men in our lives know and understand about our health issues the more supportive they will be. My DF has been with me but only as far as the consultation, not for a pelvic although he is very familiar with the territory. Does DF know that you want him along and is he receptive? If the answers are yes, then it would be a good idea to check with your Gyn’s staff, explain what you want and why, and see if they can accommodate you. I imagine they can and will but it never hurts to check this sort of thing out in advance. So no one gets surprised, embarrassed and disappointed at the last minute if they won’t, right? Thanks for stopping by. Let us know how you’re doing, ok?
Good luck,
Jill
