Thought about doing this question as AIBU, but Idon't want to get flamed!
My question is what are people's general opinions about bringing little kids to fertility appointments?
When we did our first few IVF cycles for DC1 I sometimes saw mums with children come to appointments and I have to say I always thought it was so insensetive and swore I'd never do it....
But now I actually have a toddler and Im struggling with arranging childcare for her over so many appointments and I'm thinking would it really be so bad to bring DC with to appoinents? These would be just the quick bloods and scan ones you need when on stims.
Just to add DC is a fairly well behaved and quiet child so it's not that she would disturb others and I'd keep her strapped in the buggy during bloods & scan my issue is rather I don't want to cause any other patients extra unnecessary sadness.
YABU- you can't bring a child to a fertility clinic that's so insensitive
YANBU- don't worry about inadvertently causing others upset just bring the child if you can't find a babysitter
