Should DH come to first appointment?

Hi Ladies - I was wondering if you could tell me what the "norm" is for whether your husbands/sig others go to the first prenatal appointment with you?  Mine is scheduled for when I'll be 9 weeks, so I wasn't sure how much we'd see on the screen (heartbeat flicker?) or would we actually hear the heartbeat?  I know DH doesn't necessarily need to see the pap exam or when they draw blood (he doesn't do needles), but is it worth it for him to be there to ask questions or hear the answers to the ones I ask?  Or do you think it would be completely boring?  I'd love to hear your thoughts!
