Goes so slowly...scared, ill and so tired!

I had a missed/silent miscarriage at 14 weeks 2 1/2 years ago. I'm 8 weeks pregnant tomorrow and I'm really struggling to stay positive. It just goes so slowly, I'm in UK so don't even get seen till next week and no scans til 12 weeks. I'm being really really sick(but was last time too) and have been signed off work but now the days go slower than ever n my boss wants to reduce my hours, a lot. I'm terrified this baby won't make it and il have lost my job practically too. Also if I'm only working 4 hours a week will I even get maternity allowance, seemed hard enough to sort out when I was doing 14 hours. On top of all that I'm already stressed, in the middle of legal proceedings against child abuse and battling m.e/ cfs. Really need some prayers, my husband doesn't know how to help at all. :(  not really sure I can actually do this... Stupid thing is I've wanted this baby for so long, just didn't dream it would happen now. im so lost.
End vent... Sorry x

I tried calling the hospital on Thursday and they said I wouldn't be seen because I'm not booked in with the maternity ward yet. The Dr has put me on anti sickness tablets which work when I can keep them down. I'm trying to stay positive but really struggling, x

If you're concerned, go to the hospital. They'll most likely check on the baby for you. Just tell them you're sick and feeling like you did when you miscarried before. They will at very least check your hcg levels and tell you if theyre good or not.
