That's great news - congrats to you and hubby. Can they not get you in for a scan sooner than that, especially if they are unsure of dates by 4 weeks?! Have you booked into the hospital yet? I would explain to them about the possibility of having an implantation bleed and not knowing for sure how far along you are, and see if they can offer a scan....to be honest, I found that there was practically no communication between gp and hospital, and you really need to chase up on everything yourself.
As regards telling people, that's really a personal decision and everyone announces the news at different stages, so you'll have to decide that between you. Personally speaking, I feel that we told people too early (10 ish weeks), even though we were dying to tell the world - it would have been nicer to have it to ourselves for a while longer.
Congrats again, and best of luck
