Taking DD to smear test with me?

[Lucylou321]

DD is 6 months and i no longer have childcare for when it's booked for this week. When I booked it 3 weeks ago this was all they could offer me in a 3 week period so I don't really want to have to cancel and delay it any longer.

She would be sat in her car seat. Sometimes she sits like an angel and sometimes she screams so it could go either way.

Am I going to piss the nurse off turning up with my baby?

Can you call and ask if it's ok?

No it’s fine OP, you’re not in there long, don’t worry.

It'll be fine. I took ds to mine when he was about 4 months, he slept right through it

Fine, I did this. Bring her in her buggy and sit her so she can see you, she'll be fine.

I think the nurse should be fine, it never takes long and I'm sure they would rather you have your smear as they are so important

Depends how your smears usually go. I'm in and out. Have taken baby with me a couple of times when I've had to. Wasn't a problem. Toddler on the other hand, definitely wouldn't. :)

I'm a nurse in a gp surgery and this wouldn't bother me at all!

Practice nurse and smear taker here, take your child, it really isn't a problem at all

Sat with my mum, she’s also a nurse in a GP surgery and agrees with SaveFerris, said it wouldn’t bother her at all

It's absolutely fine.

I had to do the same years ago my baby daughter had to lie on the couch with me😮 whilst my 20 month old son was looked after by the drs’ receptionist. It’s what I had to do as I had no one to look after them😊

It's fine, crack on

I've taken my screamy baby with me before. The nurse won't mind.

Thanks everyone you've put my mind at ease
