Bev,
You're entitled to feel miserable at a time like this! You must be going through a whole range of emotions! & i think it's important top let yourself feel low & not bottle things up and put on a front! & here is definately the place to let it all out!
It's better to be safe than sorry as they say. Make sure you let us know how you get on.
Take care,
Michelle
