My local health centre = useless.

How glad am I that the internet exists, because it has been a damn sight more useful than the Dr at the health centre. All she did was weigh me, look confused when I said that despite the fact that it was unplanned I want to keep it, and then told me I'd have to wait 4/5 weeks to be seen by a midwife for any actually health checks and I might have to wait as much as 11 weeks for a first scan. She didn't even do an additional pregnancy test to make sure the 2 home test that I did were accurate.

So I am being left to my own devises for the next month. I'm glad that I know to get prenatel vitamins/folic acid because it wasn't like she told me anything about it. I am so unimpressed with her a Dr  right now. The only thing that not making me look to change to another practice is the hope that the Midwife is nicer when I finally get to see her.

The whole world is probably going to know that I'm going to have a baby after tonight as Fin is round to H & P's house for recording their cthulu podcast. Fin asked if he could tell them, I seriously don't think he's stopped smiling since monday evening, and I said he could.  H will then preoede tell the whole world and their dog, because it's what she does.

I still haven't told the family yet, I'm waiting for my brother to get out of hospital again before I do. I may leave it until next Tuesday, the 13th, which is my nan's 94 birthday. I know that she's been thinking that she would never have any greatgrand children, so I pretty sure she'll be very pleased. And I know my mum will be, mainly because I've heard the 'all my friends at church have grandchildren' said in an 'I feel very left out' kind of way for way ever since me and Fin got married back in 2005.

*hugs* sometimes medical professionals can be really useless! I'm sure there are loads of other people who can give you advice and the internet is really very great (:

Good luck with the telling the family I'm sure they'll be really happy (:
