    Thanks to everyone who has given advice.
    I realise i have lots to do, i will make a doctors appointment this week. Work wise it is very tricky as i am on a 4 week probation period (i am a nanny) so time off etc is going to be tricky but i will discuss things with them when i get past the 12 week stage and hopefully stop worrying about every little twinge. :-)
    Living arrangements- well i need to discuss with my b/f about that as we had discussed moving in together around june/july time but might need to move before that now.
    As i am not going to get smp (which is a real pain as i will lose so much money) I will start adding to my savings each month.
    I have already told my mum who was great, she has been collecting stuff for the last 2 years (i had no idea) so has given me a huge box of baby clothes.
    mum2one and plans_all_plans-- thank you for your support that makes me feel a little less scared to tell him.

    Oh, your Mum sounds like a real sweetie, I'm sure she will give you loads of support as you go along :)

    Cant offer any practical advise as we had to try for a few years to get our little uns, so there wasnt any unexpected shocks.

    All I can say is that whatever problems and stresses you get it will be worth it, having kids and seeing them grow up while it does hve its stressed moments is the best thing in the entire world. My only regret is that I didnt have kids sooner.

    Good Luck.
