Future husband wants to attend OB appointment
I’m getting married 10/20/26 and we’ve been together for 6yrs. We’ve been living together and (POTENTIAL TMI: he checks my IUD strings because I can’t reach them)
But my IUD is due to come out July 2027, less than a year after we are married. He wants to attend my OB appointment when it is removed to hear all of the options and be there to support, and I love and trust him but this is my body and I kinda was hoping I’d just have it removed with no options, not because I want kids right away but just to adjust?. He says it’s also for fertility reasons but I almost want that first appointment to myself. I have been on birth control for 18yrs and I really do understand where he is coming from in the sense of trying to support me but also I’m not sure how to communicate I want to do this alone…
ETA: he says if he is going to be a girl dad he needs to better understand the science behind everything so he can be educated and not force all of the emotional labor on me. I do not disagree with with reasonings at all! And I love how supportive he is! I just haven’t been in awhile and don’t want him there if there is potential bad news.
