Is it rude to take my toddler with me when I go in for monitoring?

| PP you're right especially if some of their patients are capable of making insane statements....all clinics should be aware that IF patients are crazy. |

Sounds like you'll make a great parent. |

| Isn't the bottom line really to abide by your clinic's rules and should your clinic not have rules about bring children, to use common sense? If you can help it, don't bring your kids. But if you absolutely have no way around it, then do what you have to do. And if you're another patient, try to be understanding if you see children there, as you have no idea what that parent is going through in terms of childcare. |

and sometimes when I see how the children in the waiting room are acting, I question whether or not I actually want any . . . .

Based on your comment above, I would say don't waste your money. |

Wow...the comments have gotten really snarky on this thread.
I understand that it's a tough subject, but remember this is SUPPORT forum. |

Honestly, it shows how odd and out of control people get when they can post anonymously and believe that no one can link them to their asocial behavior...
Take it from the 'idiot and the weenie', I can't imagine that most of the rabble rousing is done by Trolls who have nothing invested in this whatsoever WLD |

| I happen to go to Shady Grove which doesn't allow children in the waiting room. I was especially happy for this when I had to return several months after losing my baby from preterm labor (he died in my arms) for a follow up and for some tests. Many other patients have suffered losses as well (I know 3 or 4 personally who lost babies in the after the first trimester). Just something to consider. |

| I think it has nothing to do with being rude. I think it has to do with compassion for others... I go to SG as well, and I appreciate their policy. I get that the world does not revolve around me..I don't have children, and well behaved ones would not bother me in the waiting room BUT again it's about the way it would make others feel.. I would hate to feel that my actions caused another person pain...but I realize some people don't take that into consideration, unfortunately, thats the way of the world.... |

| seriously you want the rest of the world to change so you don't have to experience any pain, this site makes me think the female population has gone completely insane. Put your big girl panties on and get over it!! |

I have to think that the majority of the women making comments like 15:44 are secondary infertility sufferers and not victims of primary infertility. In my experience, the most sensitive women in the world to the whole exposure to babies, baby showers, children in waiting rooms, etc. are those women that suffered from primary infertility---because they know exactly what it feels like.

I can see both sides of the dispute. A little sensitivity and empathy goes a long way!!!
I recall seeing children when I was going in for treatment and I remember it not bothering me too much (unless as otehrs mentioned, the child was disruptive), but it did get harder as my failures mounted. But, I felt the same pain whether I was in the waiting room or on the elevator with a mom and her newborn. If I could avoid seeing a baby during htis stressful time, I would have preferred it! But obviously, that wasn't possible and I just had to deal. My advice - try not to bring a child...that is the nicest thing to do, but if you have to bring them with you, keep them quiet! |
