Left them at home and I'm in the waiting room now - am I going to get told off?

I noticed a husband was sent home to get his OH's notes at my hospital last week. Quite tough I thought. They might not mind if your pregnancy is straightforward or it's early days. Good luck!

I was refused to be seen when I forgot mine :/

I got sent out to the car to get mine once. Told her it was about half a mile away and she said 'it's ok, I'll wait' Smile

She saw me and was perfectly nice about it, even though she had to faff about getting some results for me and she wouldn't have known I needed the quad test (baby Eason a difficult position for nuchal at dating scan) if I hadn't told her. All in allot was fine but I wouldn't do it again (not that I intended to this time).

My MW told me try not to forget them for MW appointment, do not, on pain of death, forget them for scan/consultant appointment!

Keep them in your handbag no matter what - always safer to have them with you at all times anyway Grin

Wow you must have a pretty big handbag Wink

I turned up for the quad test without mine. TBH it hadn't occurred to me I'd need them for a blood test. I'd have been better received if I'd turned up pissed with pate stains down my top....

To be fair I just shove them in, they are tatty, but hey, I still have them so they can't tell me off haha
