This week our columnist and wife Daisy are unexpectedly called in to see the obstetrics consultant.

Welcome to my weekly blog on impending fatherhood. I’m Jim, my wife’s name is Daisy, I turn 50 in September and Daisy is 37. We're expecting our first child in October - hence this,This is a proper, ‘in real life’ read from a man's perspective, so I hope you enjoy and follow the series as we go from, to first scans, through all the ups and downs of impending parenthood.

There was nothing in each of the letters in way of explanation. So, to try and alleviate some of the anxiety we called the hospital maternity unit helpline. I paced around the waiting room like a caged capybara, trying to remind myself all the time of the pressures the NHS was under and that really, this added wait time was of no consequence.

At this point, a not-very-impressed midwife re-entered the room, joining a not-very-impressed Daisy and her not-very-impressive husband. All was quiet again, apart from the noise of the keyboard being tapped. Tap, tap, tap. Taptaptap. Tap. She tapped so hard I thought she might break one of her brightly-coloured nails."Ummm," she said, pausing. "Ummmm... I see you have a cyst on your right ovary?"A ever-so-brief flicker of a smile appeared on Dr Mavis's face before she bypassed my idiocy and turned to speak directly to Daisy.Daisy got out her notes from that scan. It was a small cyst, 3mm in size.
