My last period was in late July and after realizing yesterday that I was five days late this month, I went and bought a test. I took it this morning and it turns out I’m pregnant!
I’m really shocked as this is completely unplanned. I’m also very worried as I’ve not been taking folic acid (I didn’t even realise it was a thing until I started frantically googling this morning!) DH and I have also just returned from an all-inclusive resort break where I drank almost every night 
DH was ecstatic when I told him the news this morning, but I’m terrified that I’ve harmed the baby in some way and that I shouldn’t continue with the pregnancy. I feel so guilty and can’t stop beating myself up.
I also have so many questions:
- When should I call my GP - should I speak to them today?
- Is the 12 week scan done 12 weeks after conception, or 12 weeks since the first day of your last period? Is it the combined scan that I need?
- Can you choose which hospital to have the baby in or does it have to be your local hospital?
- Aside from taking folic acid and cutting out alcohol, is there anything else I can do now to ensure I have the healthiest pregnancy possible?
Sorry for the long post - I’m just in total shock I think and am so worried about it all. My head is spinning
