What do you do with baby when you go for an appointment?

[OrangesJuicyOranges]

I am having a csection next week so I know when baby is coming. I have an appointment at hospital to have a lump removed three weeks later. I don't want to rearrange the appointment as I got in with a cancellation Bd the next one won't be til April. The lump keeps bleeding and it needs removing.

The lump will be cut out with local anaesthetic.

So - do people take babies to appointments or do I need to arrange childcare? I hate to leave a three week old baby but I don't know what the 'done' thing is.

I couldn't walk very far 3 weeks post csection. 4 weeks I felt great and was driving but 3 was still tricky. Personally I'd probably delay until April but then my memory of new born times was constant bfing with twins so might not be the norm.
