It's extremely rare for DH to be able to come with me for scans, as not only does he work full time, but with no family/friends nearby we need him to look after our other DC.
I actually don't mind really at all going on my own. I find it easier to concentrate and ask questions without DH there. This is DC #4, pregnancy #7 and having had high risk pregnancies with every DC apart from the first, I've had more scans than I can actually count.. including some with bad news.
But one thing I have noticed is that nearly every scan, I am the only woman in the waiting room without somebody (usually a DP/DH but not always) with me.
So am I a bit of an anomaly then? Are people thinking I'm a bit odd for having no-one with me? Is it the expected thing to have support there? I've started to feel a bit self-conscious in waiting rooms of late!!
