Thanks ladies for your concerns ... not having had a CVS before I didn't know whether the way in which it was handled was the norm

Also I was under a lot of stress due my parents stop communicating with me during my pregnancy & a long time friend just stopped contacting me ... the grief they caused me was unbearable ... and I wasn't going to chance losing my baby from anymore unnecessary stress, as I had once before through the huge amount of stress a co-worker had caused me

You are so right MARYDEAN ... thanks for pointing that out !! ... I guess it's obvious that I have had more negative experiences out weighing the positive experiences I have personally had in public hospitals. I guess also it didn't help that many of my clients at work were Doctor's & drummed it into my head to never have surgery in a public hospital as they told me it's the trainee that is holding the knife not the qualified surgeon.

THANKS all again ... and JUDES you take care of yourself too lovely Mummy
