I have been sent an appointment for a smear test (they come through automatically here so I got no choice in the time) it is at a time when my DP is at work with no possibility of getting time off. I have asked all my friends and family if they could watch DS for me but everyone is working.
DS is 3 months old so not old enough to be traumatised by seeing a smear test but there is a chance that he will be screaming and I won't be able to relax enough for them to do the smear (although post birth maybe they won't have such issues getting the equiptment in)
What do people do with their babies when they have medical appointments? should I ask a friendly lady in the waiting room to hold DS? maybe there would be a spare nurse to hold him. hopefully he would be asleep but what to do if he is not?
