I had my first appt last night at the Gynacologist (spelling?). She slotted me in as a last min appt as otherwise she wouldn´t have been able to see me til next week - which normally would have been fine by me, but as I fly short haul and domestic flights I asked what the situation was re working. She told me not to fly and like I said managed to slot me in last night.
Gave me a load of bumpf, was measured and weighed, had blood tests, blood pressure etc and a scan - she didn´t think she´d be able to see anything and was right as I´m only 5+2 weeks, but said she just wanted to check everything looked OK cos I fly a lot. She thought she could make out something but wasn´t sure, and said it was quite normal at this early stage. My blood tests has come back today positive, so I know feel like everything is right and the blood tests and 4 positive pregnancy tests can not be wrong. Besides which, my boobs are mega sensitive (can´t lie on my stomach to sleep unfortunately), and I can feel my stomach and back aching all the time - its not painful, just always there, so I do feel something good is happening.
I was on a high when I phoned the docs and then phoned work to tell them that I can´t fly anymore. Doc said she couldn´t prohibit me from doing it and I know a lot of girls at work do carry on flying until the 3 or 4th month esp if they are not showing - but she didn´t recommend I do it. So on her advice I´m stopping flying. I then phoned the Personnel Dept to tell them and the woman I spoke to almost laughed at me when I said how far gone I was - its now her job to find me a job on the ground for the next few months. She said "it was very early to stop flying but if that was what I wanted...then so be it" and she would contact me when she had found something for me to do. I am so p***ed off, who is she to judge whether I stop flying or not? She has no idea of my health of my past history and she´s not a doctor. I just told her I was acting on the advice of my gynacologist.
She´s completely burst my bubble though now.
Sorry rant over now!
