Patients spouses/partners are not allowed in for the obstetrical scan but both parents are allowed in for a paediatric scan.
OB scan
Most of the time the partner is fine with waiting until close to the end of the exam to come in, so that the sonographer can get he technical portion of the scan done without distraction. This does assist in achieving a more timely and more accurate scan as the Sonographer can concentrate better on the job at hand, However once in a while the pregnant woman would like her support partner with her due to extreme anxiety(often precipitated from a prior pregnancy with a poor outcome) I believe in these instances the partner should be allowed in to ensure a positive support system is in place.

My wife was not allowed in the ultrasound room in a clinic in Orillia. She was allowed in for the Previous two IUI follicle studies, but for this round it was a no go and the tech was rude. Fertility issues can be hard on a couple. Having a partner or support person is the right of the patient.
