Everyone's on holiday in July

We've made it to week 8. In the middle of last week, I finally booked an early ultrasound at a private clinic. It was definitely pricier than I expected, but getting that peace of mind is the best thing I can do for myself and the baby right now—a stress-free pregnancy is my number one rule. We still haven't told anyone yet, and honestly, keeping it a secret for a bit longer makes me feel much more comfortable.

I also spent a lot of time researching consultants this week, but because the baby is due in July, I keep getting negative replies. The specialists I really want have all told me they might be away on holiday around my due date. Having the same doctor who knows my whole pregnancy guide me through delivery was my biggest motivation for going private in the first place. I really hope I can find a consultant who gives me that reassurance this week.
