New sign

in TTC after 35
My RE has a new sign posted in the office asking that "due to the sensitive nature of the office, please refrain from bringing children to appointments". I've been a client there for 7 years, so I know it's new. I'm not opposed to the policy, I remember how gut wrenching it was to wait to be called back while staring at happy babies before dd. I was just surprised that it took until now for them to come to this decision. Anyone else's office have this policy?

    Mine doesn't, so far as I know.

    I see no sign, and I do see kids from time to time.

    MAH, I keep meaning to tell you the pic of your DD is soooo cute.  

    I haven't gone to an RE yet, but my OBGyn office doesn't allow children under 14.  Tiny babies in car seats are ok.  I don't think its a sensitivity thing, but a germ thing.  They don't want the mobile disease carriers exposing the pregnant women I suppose.  

    Seems like a good policy, but difficult for patients that are working on their second to follow.  Do you like the policy or do you feel its unnecessary? 

    I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...

    My RE just moved offices and yes, they have a sign.  It's not a fixed sign on the wall or anything, just a framed flyer on a counter.  The paperwork I initially filled out last summer indicated the same thing though. 

     

    A few months ago, I thought I had to take DS with me.  I was like, maybe they can hide us in a room or something???  I wound up not having to take him.  

     

    While I understand this issue, I also hear at many appts the nurses gushing over the women who are now pregnant.  Looking at their u/s pics, etc.  I think that would be just as upsetting, if those types of things bothered you.

    I have no problem with it. Since I've been on both sides of the issue, I understand the feelings it evokes, especially when you're in the middle of a mc or getting bad news. The practice is fairly large, so I think if you called ahead they would bring you in through the exit (which is seperate from the waiting room and entrance) and place you in a room. It's such an emotional roller coaster that if it makes it easier on others, why not.

    Mine doesn't, and I wish they did.  Sometimes it's harder than others, though.  Like this morning, there was a two-year-old that was having a bad day and kept yelling about everything.  The mom also had a baby with her that would cry from time to time.  If I were a teenager, that would have been great birth control.
