Constant knicker watchers apply here

[Ambi88]

Is it just me... or anyone else on constant knicker watch 🙈 I'm only 4 weeks 4 days and so anxious and I know it doesn't get much better! Welcome to leakage for the next 8 months right?!
So iv made this thread for us anxious mamas to get each other through please join and make me feel less crazy 😜
Whispered cautious excitement 🌈

Oh yes! Knicker watcher here. 7+3 and only wearing white underwear. Hoping to be a bit less anxious as the time passes.

Oh yes. And I've literally no idea how far along. Been testing positive for a couple of months, but had bleeding in December and January. 🤷‍♀️

Oh thank goodness! I'm like a deranged woman popping to the toilet every 20 mins dreading the wipe in case there's red 🙈 it's ok only 8 and half months left 😭

@barneymcgroo on my daughter I bled for the first few months on and off so you could be quite far how exciting.. have they not offered a scan or anything to find out?

@grosgirl I'm so jealous that your further along 😂 I absolutely hate these first months

@Ambi88 me too! I don't remember being quite so neurotic when pregnant with my son but that was 5 years ago. Maybe I've got more anxious with age 😂

Yep. I hold off going to the loo for as long as I can as I’m so scared every time. It feels inevitable, like it’s not a case of if I’ll bleed but when. I’m only 6 weeks today 🤦🏻‍♀️

@TheBirdintheCave see I'm always in the loo! Driving me mad.. I'm exactly the same Iv had losses and I just expect it now I wish I could get my naivety back from my first pregnancy
This is so going to drag lol

@grosgirl 7 years ago I had my baby so this is basically new to me and I cannot remember i think I just breezed through.. I'm 33 now and I wonder how different it'll be now I'm not a spring chicken 😂

I've got a scan in a couple of weeks. I think I miscarried at the end of October - and think I tested negative after, weird bleed in November, normal-ish period in Jan, what a thought was implantation two weeks later, except it went on for two weeks. No bleeding since. This would be baby number 3, so I'm already noticing a bump! Slight concern I might be further along than I think? Literally no idea!

Hubby has only gone and bought anxiety inducing toilet roll!! Is it blood no just a pink giraffe 🙈😭 honestly look at it 😂

Cruel!

I’m 8+3. Had a bleed on Monday and had a scan at the early pregnancy unit yesterday which confirmed everything is still ok (thank god!) but I’m checking every time I go to the loo now, and a few times in between! Still getting a little bit of pale brown discolouration which is just causing panic every time!

Pro tip: don't use the novelty christmas toilet roll you got as a joke gift because the red splodges will give you a heart attack!

I very much understand the anxiety but it does get easier. I'm 17 weeks and I have relaxed a bit. Hang in there!

Bad knicker checker here.... around 7 weeks 2 days..

I hate it... I'm so paranoid! Slight little damp patch and off to the loo I run 😄 xx

I'm now 14weeks and 2 days and still a constant knicker watcher.

How is everyone doing? I'm 6+2 today. Hopefully having a scan at 7+6 but it seems SO LONG AWAY. I'm still very scared to go to the loo and had a nightmare that I was bleeding last night too x__x I was so happy to wake up and realise it wasn't real.

@TheBirdintheCave hey lovely I'm good off to see midwife tomorrow for booking in and set up a scan because of previous ectopic so I'm hoping that'll be next week. I'm only 4w 5d and so I'm paranoid as ever! I can't wait to get the scan just for reassurance how u feeling?

I'm still there at 16+5! Not helped by the fact that I have a history of unexplained bleeding in pregnancy both in this pregnancy and my first.

Haven't had any blood since about 12 weeks now, which must be a record for me.

@Ambi88 I'm trying to be more positive today, as hard as it is. I felt quite sick this morning and it hung about for the longest it has done yet. Fingers crossed it's the start of proper morning sickness like I had with my son.

I hope you get to have your scan soon! :) Apparently the midwives here in Sussex don't do booking in until AFTER the 12 week scan. It makes sense but it's so different to how things were in London.

I have Zumba for an hour tonight so that should take my mind off worrying for a little bit though it's a little frustrating as I'm too scared to do any of the jumping haha.

@CoalCraft Good to hear the bleeding is staying away :)

Hope you’re all okay! I am around 6 weeks and the dreaded has happened and I have brown discharge today (sorry for TMI), I have already posted in another thread but so so worried, expecting the worst but hoping for the best! Now the dread for toilet trips has increased ten fold :(

Hope all is going well for you all, the worry is next level isn’t it! x

Sorry to heat that @AbbiL0u. I hope it was just a one time thing and doesn't come back.

Sorry to say, but 34 weeks here and I'm still at it! 😩

And now I’ve got some tiny brown streaks of spotting too. Great 😭😭 Going out of my mind with worry now. Is this the start of the end? Our car is broken too so not like I could go anywhere to get a scan either :(

@TheBirdintheCave Oh no I’m so sorry, I hope I didn’t jinx you! Fingers crossed everything will be okay for us both. Google did reassure me a little, I hope it does for you too. How far along are you? X
