You poor thing.
I'm Irish too, living in NZ and love the antenatal care system here - they're great. Lived in the UK for the first 5 months of my first pregnancy and I hated the system, so I can sympathise.
Hope all will be OK for you, will keep my fingers crossed, and like everyone has said, try and take it easy as much as possible and worry as little as possible (easier said than done I know).
