The first week - week 5

On the Tuesday after we were home from Portugal I called the drs:

Me: I think I'm pregnant
Nurse: have u taken a test?
Me: 4. All positive.
Nurse: then yes u r. (Went in to facts about false negatives vs false positives- ur more likely to get a false negative then a false positive, let alone 4 positives)
Me: oh... So what should I do?
Nurse: depends, r u happy?
Me: elated
Nurse: then I'll give ur details to the midwife & she'll call u
Me: cool!

I'm still waiting to hear. Apparently the nhs work out ur due date by the first day of your last period (23rd dec 2013)

So our due date is.....

29th September 2014

Which makes us at week 5 (even thought the test said 1-2 weeks pregnant)

I still don't feel pregnant & I'm still waiting to hear from the midwife. I haven't had many more symptoms, although I have cried at dancing on ice because Hayley got a good score.....! 

I told some people this week (Anna, Sara, Lucy, mum & dad). Lucy cried when I told her.

Took another clear blue test....


Phew! The weeks have increased! 
Lucy & Anna say it's fine that I don't really feel anything yet. But I have a feeling I'm having an increase in mood swings... I wonder if Dave would agree?!

I also bought 20 tests from eBay... Which are coming up positive.

I also told Venessa (my boss) who was very happy for me. Dave and I agreed that due to my job (specialist support worker with adults with severe challenging behaviours and / or mental health problems) there's just high a risk to work with them. She has talked to psychosam who have agreed that we will tell people that this week I'm in the office because I'm "helping with paperwork"! 
I'll keep u updated to how that goes. I'm back to work on Monday (3rd feb) and am quite nervous about it). 
I also hope I get more symptoms & a call from the midwife soon!

I made Dave put the exercise bike back in the lounge as I haven't done anything since we got back from Portugal. I have managed 15mins at lunch and 5 mins after tea lol. I hope I can keep it up. I'm worried about putting on too much weight and hurting the baby.
