Hi all
As my name might lead you to think, I'm in Manchester. 
Just thought I'd say hi - I've been reading mumsnet for a little while now but decided to join as we found out last week that I am finally pregnant with our first child after a year and 2 months of trying!
I'm 6 weeks in, due date early June and I'm seeing the midwife at my surgery tomorrow for my first proper appointment. I haven't a clue as to what choices I'll make re: my care and I'm hoping she will give me some tips. I've done a bit of research on here and am thinking St Mary's. I'd like to go somewhere clean and new, and I'm not a fan of North Manchester General, which would technically be my closest hospital - it's a bit old and run down. I also had a poor experience there with a different department.
So far (touch wood) no morning sickness at all, but I am suffering from early waking (4/5 am, can't get back off), my skin has erupted worse than usual (I suffer from mild adult acne), sore boobs and I have been tearful/moody at times. I will take anything it throws at me, just really hoping I'm lucky and will avoid being sick...
Anyhow I look forward to learning loads on here, as I have so much to think about... I spent all year thinking about getting pregnant but nothing beyond that!
