To ask if I can go to a colonoscopy alone?

Just that really, posting here for traffic. I have to have a colonoscopy (not urgently). I have a young baby and absolutely no support network nearby - none - except my husband. Husband would have to stay with the baby so there is no one to come with me. I wouldn't drive myself, I would get a taxi there and back.

Is this OK?

You can honestly do it without sedation. It’s not very nice but it’s manageable. Like you I had no one to pick me up so I just had to get on with it. And no sedation means no fuss afterwards.

I can't cope with smears and I assume a colonoscopy is worse!
