FFS... posting this here as it might scare the horses over on the pregnancy threads, I hope that's OK.
I'm 11w pregnant - history of recurrent miscarriage caused by chromosomal abnormality, hopefully not an issue this time as I've done a rather expensive round of IVF with PGD to pick healthy embryos (and if the morning sickness is anything to go by, it's all going swimmingly). However. I've got my 12w scan next week and if it has all gone wrong again, I'd like to get the ERPC over as soon as possible. So this morning I've spent an hour phoning round BUPA hospitals to get someone who could fit me in for the day after the scan. But one receptionist just took the biscuit: told me I'd need to speak to the consultant himself in case there was any ethical issue that meant their hospital wouldn't do it! What ethical issue? I did say to her "it's not the same as an abortion" but she went "oh no, of course not!" like she would be used to humouring the patients. FFS.
