First doctor's appointment

Today we had a doctors appointment to confirm the pregnancy. The appointments were running 30 minutes behind schedule and so my appointment was completely rushed. The doctor filled out my materntiy exemption form (giving me free prescription and free dentists for the next two years) and my antenatal form which will be sent off to my local hospital and I will be contacted for my first antenatal appointment, probably when I am about 10 weeks pregnant. He also confirmed my due date as the 9th May, and then gave me the usual advice: No smoking, no alcohol, no drugs (!), take folic acid etc etc. I am meant to be going on a business trip to Germany in October for 4 days, I will be approx 9 weeks pregnant, I asked him whether he thinks I should go and he just said that there is no evidence that flying causes miscarriage and I could miscarry there or I could miscarry at home. Such awesome advice!! Happy happy days if the doctor says I'm pregnant, it really must be true!!!
