Spotting, Doctor and Work

Not a great start to the day as I had a little bit of spotting this morning. Only a tiny amount, no pain, and didn't continue, but the sight of blood was enough to freak me out. Even though I KNOW that it is quite common in early pregnancy! I'm ok now, but I don't think I will be as relaxed as I was until the 12 week scan now.

Doctor's appointment went ok. She guessed me to be around 5 weeks, felt my tummy, reassured me about the blood, and took details to pass on to the midwife, who I should hear from within 2 weeks. I think it will feel real then. I was a little shocked that she didn't want to confirm the pregnancy, but hey ho.

I told my boss today as I was feeling rough, she said she was pleased for us, and printed off a risk assessment sheet for me to read. I haven't felt so sick this afternoon, which has been nice. Wasn't great this morning. And the horrible headaches I've had since saturday haven't reappeared, thank god! I am very tired though, and my boobs are sore and a little bigger already! Even Husband agrees that they are bigger and heavier!

Hoping to go to out home city next weekend to tell our Mums, and my Dad. Husband's Dad went to Russia yesterday for 7 weeks for work. We didn't realise he was going, and it's a shame we won't see him (haven't been home in a few weeks). Husband did suggest I call them, but I want to do it in person if at all possible!And my Dad is having an operation on his kidneys tomorrow, so didn't want to give him any extra stress.
