I have my 20 week scan tomorrow and my partner is really busy at work so unfortunately won't be taking it off. I would bring my mum but she will be looking after my little boy as I'm working.
I work at the hospital so just have to pop downstairs for it but just really worried about bad news and being alone to receive it and then have to go back to work.
Last time at 20 week scan they couldn't get heart measurements so had to go back at 22 weeks and still couldn't get it so had to make notes to check at birth. I was really upset. X

It sounds so strange but do you have a co worker you can take? ❤ if I was in that position and I knew no one could come I'd drag one of mine with me 🤣 I initially went in on my own but my partner made it. Its a little daunting and scary but you got to remember its and you and baby and you have each other ❤ xxxx

Take one of your work colleagues with you good luck think positive xx

I would take your closest colleague if you can! If no one could make mine (I work in the hospital I have appointments in too) I would most definitely take one xx

Im going alone in one hour …

Good luck Hun

I went alone you’ll be fine

I think you ought to reschedule or take a friend.

Why does a scan need 2 people
So many people go alone or are single parents

I think it’s fine if you are really strong but I went alone and unfortunately all wasn’t well. It was really tough.

If for any reason it is bad news, you could go home.

I’d reschedule for a time your partner can come - doesn’t need to be done right at 20 weeks. Or just go alone

that’s all well and good saying that, some people require emotional support if God forbid anything was wrong

Hope it was good news!
