Meant to be going to families caravan for 2 nights today with DH, DD, MIL & FIL.

I found out I'm pregnant at beginning of the week and have had brown bleeding since and I feel really quite ill. EPU wants to scan me Monday to make sure it's not ectopic but if I start bleeding heavier over the weekend I have to go to A&E.

DH said he is happy to go with DD and leave me here (my Mum lives opposite so if I did start bleeding badly or feeling worse and needed to go to A&E she can come with me).

I feel guilty leaving DD for 2 nights (I know this is probably hormones, she's perfectly happy with her Dad and grandparents).

Would you go in my position or stay at home/close to hospital you are familiar with? Also MIL/FIL don't know about pregnancy and I'm just worried they'll think I'm grumpy/miserable when in reality I'm worried and feel unwell. DH said he will tell them I have a sickness bug.

WWYD?

Stay at home and look after yourself💐

How old is DD? Unless she’s a young baby and not used to being without you I wouldn’t worry, she’ll be with her family.

Your husband should stay home with you!

And send your DD with the GP's.

I wouldn't want to go away in your situation.Also, my DH would probably not want to leave me either.

I'd stay at home, if you have a friend who could stay with you or your mum, even better. You may not be the same but having been in your shoes, being alone with my own thoughts whilst waiting for things to play out was best avoided. My brain was my worst enemy. Wishing you the very best xx

Hi OP, I’d stay home in your position. A little white lie to the grandparents about you being ill and not wanting to pass anything on to them would be fine.
Take the weekend to rest and look after yourself.
I bled early on and attended EPU with my now 13 year old, hoping everything is ok for you too.

Honestly id just tell my in laws the reason. I‘ve never really understood the secrecy around the pre 12 week mark. Obviously I don’t tell everyone, but those close to me I do because I’d need their support. They might even offer to take dd for a couple of days whilst dh supports you.
