That's not a nice thing to spring on someone! I had my last one done just before I fell pg so didn't need it doing then, but I'd have refused. Or at least screamed "what the blazes is that thing and where are you sticking it?" then offered some suggestions where if could be stuck, IYKWIM.

My GP didn't want to check the stitches, she asked if I felt OK or had any problems, then DS woke up so we went straight to admiring him rather than completing my check-up!
