So I went a little quiet, maybe I'll backfill later. Sunday afternoon I got a "bad feeling", and have been feeling a bit down since then. I'm not sure what it is, maybe just hormones or something but I definitely feel a bit uneasy like something has gone wrong. Looking things up online certainly isn't re-assuring!
A couple in work announced they were expecting today. I asked when she was due and she said sometime in February, so that's not far ahead at all. Queue lots of awkward conversations with other people along the lines of "it must be scary to get a positive test" and "oh, so that explains why she's been grumpy" (glad I'm still having an un-grumpy persona!). Congratulating someone else felt very weird though.
Feeling sick a lot, and tiredness has reached a new high (low?). Had to sleep an extra hour and a half this morning, and felt marginally better for it. Appetite comes and goes, but no actual vomiting.
I tried to work out today what I need to do doctor/hospital-wise. The NHS pages seem to offer conflicting advise; one page says go to the doctor as soon as you know, another says just contact a midwife and make an appointment for 8 weeks. There seems to be little point going to the doctor as it says an appointment will be to offer you information on "keeping healthy". I don't see how this can be more than you can get online (i.e. how much exercise to do, how much to eat, what not to eat), so it seems a bit pointless. I've worked out myself that taking folic acid is a good idea, drinking a bad one, and suddenly panicking about being overweight and taking up running is also a bad idea. Plan for sometime before the end of the week is to phone the hospital and see if they can tell me what to do. Tricky to do at work though...
