Saundy - gutted your DP can't be there for appointment, but if it's your booking in, he won't miss much. There wasn't even a spare chair for my DP at my appointment - he had to jump up on the bed. The MW asked me all the questions, and I tried to include him, but there wasn't much he could add.
On the scans debate, I agree with most here, that the anxiety and stress it would have caused me not having it done would be way more dangerous to baby than having the early scan. It's an interesting read though firsttime, and I'll be reviewing it if I get to the stage of wanting a 4D scan, someone mentioned this might be more dangerous.
So after feeling smug for not having very much MS, it hit with force this morning. I couldn't face a piece of toast, then had to run to the loo to puke up the ill-tasting pregnancy vitamin that was the only thing in my tummy! Ick.
On the subject of birth 30 years ago, my mum and both me and brother by elective C-section, because she is very slight, and has size 3 feet (just the same as me), and they thought she just wouldn't be able to do it. I think this has changed, and I'll be pushing! My mum wholly recommends c-sections, and from a kid I've had it in my head that's the easiest way to do it!
