@therealdrpsychmom: 1. ob gyn. if she has any trauma from infertility, miscarriage, birth trauma... it can be very difficult and ignoring this makes her feel alone. 2. mammogram. with any history of cancer in the family or abnormal mammo in past, this is a source of anxiety. 3. pregnancy related visits. this turns into a huge source of sadness and resentment when women see other happy fathers to be sitting in the waiting room... and she is there alone. 4. opthalmologist. if she cannot drive after getting pupils dilated, and you say ok call an Uber... you are missing an opportunity to be loving and take care of her. 5. psychiatrist. if she's depressed, she needs your support more than ever, and you can also help with an objective assessment of when symptoms started and how they manifest. doctors listen to spouses input and this can be super helpful especially if she feels anxious about the visits.
