Hi, this is my first post and have been feeling much better knowing i'm not alone in about my worrying ways since finding this site!
I am about 5 weeks (very early i know) but i just wondered if anyone else out there in early pregnancy keeps doing as i do...knicker checking, ever hour! People at work must think I'm mad i keep rushing off to the loo, and i feel im going insane but i just have to keep checking incase theres blood.
Sometimes i feel a bit wet (sorry i know) so i have to rush off an check!
It's driving me insane but it makes me feel better. Anyone further along who used to do this, does it ever stop? the thought of going to the loo to check every hour for the next (hopefully) nine months is making me feel tired!

Hi
I am also doing this I amd 6 weeks and have had a little bleeding and have lost one of my twins and the other one may not make it either and not only am i knicker checking I have swapped them all for white ones as was getting paranoid I wouldn't see anything in black ones.
That doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with your pregnancy - with ds1 I didn't check once and he is a bouncing almost 3 year old.

i am knicker checking too and do not have white knickers but was thinking of buying some however keep thinking is a mc actually common once you get a bfp hence is this totally irrational behaviour....i haven't had one before so why do i think i will now. i am sure many women get the BFP and start buying baby clothes or is that totally dilussional?

M/c is actually very common (1 in 3 women m/c) but it doesn't mean that will be you in this pregnancy iyswim.

My doc said 1 in4 ends with mc.
Forevermore - last time i got a bfp and started shopping at 5 weeks and had an uneventful healthy pregnancy and have a lovely son - not so lucky this time I think
