Three months / 12 weeks is the usual time when people usually feel they are "safe" (lower chance of miscarriage), but you can terminate a pregnancy in the UK up until week 23 (I think). Either way, it doesn't matter what week you can terminate a pregnancy at, if you don't want to you don't have to. Don't let anyone force you into doing anything you're not comfortable with. You can talk this all through with your doctor.

Symptoms wise, I just felt tired all the time and my boobs were sore. Alot of people get morning sickness, but I didn't get any of that.

well keep your job going, you should then get maternity leave when baby arrives. You are also entitled to leave for scans and any antenatal appointments. When you tell your bosses they will have to do an appraisal and ensure that you are able to carry out your job without risk to baby or you too.

Things have a way of working out hun so just take it a day at a time.

My goodness redcrx , how did I miss this thread til today !!!
I have just read it , on the edge of my seat . I was thinking right back to exactly how lottie feels . I was on my own totally , the other side of the world from my family and the youngest of 4 girls , 3 married with children and me single and scared out of my mind when I did the test ! I didn't have anyone at all to tell , ask , inform , or just to get a hug of reassurance. I know how confused and scared you feel lottie , but it will be alright love , it really will . Take one day at a time . xxxxx
