    Just venting my frustrations here, but my mum-in-law was meant to have the kids for my surgeon consultation (which has been booked for 6 months now), and I just found out today that her other half has booked them a holiday in Spain without consulting her first and she’s protested but has to go.
    My family lives 200 miles away and they can’t come down to babysit for me to go. My husband has suggested that I go myself, and he’ll look after the kids but I really need him there.
    So I’m going to have to cancel my appointment and book for another time… I’m so upset. I’ve had such a crappy last couple of weeks and meeting Mr Mounir was something to look forward to. Does anyone know how much notice I need to give for re-arranging my appointment???

    I feel really silly for being upset, but padding out bras to take the kids to school and go out and about is painful, I’ve removed the wires from my bras but they still hurt, my chest is all bruises and my skin hurts – I wanted to get my op out the way as soon as I could so I could start focussing on other things. Getting my surgery is all I’m thinking about right now.

    You can take children with you they just can’t go into the actual consultation room xxx

    That’s the problem, I want my husband in there with me, so wouldn’t be able to leave the kids unattended. My son is 7, my daughter is 3… xx

    You can take them in with u @Deb119C i did for my surgeon appointment but i would rather have been in there alone as it can be distracting and not ideal but it is possible if there is no other way for you now x

    Hi hun you can certainly take your children with you and your husband can go in with you, the ladies at the clinic if you ask politely wount mind watchin them. As like you say one is 7 and the other is 3 they can certainly do some colouring at reception area as my friend took her two kids around same age wasn’t a problem

    I’ve rearranged for the 12th, but she said she won’t be available then either. She said not to rearrange until she gets back to me. I’m just P’d off that after 6 months of waiting my feelings about it haven’t even been considered.
    I feel really upset, I’ve been looking forward to this for ages.
    I spoke to my PC she said children aren’t allowed at the surgeon consultation, and I don’t like the idea of leaving them – my daughter is a grump, she’s quite a handful and there’s no way she’d let me walk away from her into another room! I want my husband in the consultation with me to ask anything I maybe didn’t think of, and just to make me feel better – I get so nervous and he calms me down.
    I’m sure it’ll sort itself out eventually, but I’ve had such a rubbish week, so I’ve been in tears all day…
    I ordered my V pillow, and apparently I can’t read because all that’s come is a pillowcase for a V pillow!
    Just waiting to see if a piano falls onto my head now, that’d top it all off nicely!

    You know when you wish you had a giant tub of Ben & Jerry’s? I feel very much like Bridget Jones today – I think I need a girly movie, some malteasers and a good cry!

    Ahh thats unfair seeing as my children did and the couple in front of me took their toddlers in..maybe just different rules different clinics etc my surgeon didnt mind at all that my children came in. Good luck with finding an alternative @Deb119C xx

    I’m sure I’ll sort it out, I’m just really upset and disappointed that it won’t be on the 7th. I’ve been gearing myself up for it for weeks now, and was finally starting to look forward to it rather than feeling dread and nerves. Thanks girls.
