Anyone else obsessed with poas throughout first trimester just to make sure??

I'm 8 weeks with dc2, and keep feeling the need to poas just to make sure I'm still pregnant. I've probably done it once a week since I missed my period. I wasn't like this with dc1, so I don't know where this is coming from. Please tell me I'm not alone in this freaky behaviour!

No I didn't. Also, google 'hook effect' so you don't come on here all freaked out when the lines start getting lighter.

Sorry to sound a bit bored, but you're just wasting money.

I did this! First and second time! I knew it was irrational but I just couldn't help it! So you are not alone! X

Lol I saw this thread in Active thinking it said 'obsessed with peas' and thought 'that's a funny craving' Grin.

With my first (13 yrs ago now) I bought 5 tests as I kept wanting to check the result, but after a couple of weeks I was throwing up multiple times a day so didn't feel the need to check any more.

Don't do it. It's not helpful and could cause you worry. Save that money for baby things :)

I did this too, one every week or so until my 12 week scan. Knew it was fairly silly, but it did make me feel better!
