Constantly checking pants !

Oh I’m sorry you’re feeling so anxious. This was me in my first pregnancy. Sending love & know as times goes on you’ll feel calmer.

I’m the same. I keep wiping when I get discharge. Makes me so paro. So no you don’t sound silly x

I have had a previous miscarriage so I know how you feel. Some days I’m fine, other days I convince myself something is going to go wrong. I think it’s common to have mood changes, it’s just because we care so much 💞 x

It’s got to a point where I’m shining a torch in my pants to make sure any discharge isn’t blood stained :(

I keep telling myself I’m gonna miscarry it’s just awful keeping me awake etc :(

I do the same thing and it’s my first pregnancy, it wasn’t even planned, I think it’s natural for us to worry. It shows we care deeply x

This is me … I’m 5 weeks today and had some light bleeding 2 days ago and after having 2 miscarriages ( 1 in 2021 and 1 at Christmas just gone) I’m shit scared! I keep checking my discharge and wiping it against toilet roll to make sure it’s still white and there’s not pink tinge 🙈

Same here! 😭🥹

Girls thank you for making me feel ‘ normal ‘ I’m sorry you are feeling this way too it’s really crippling at times :( I have got to the point where I am fixated on checking my pants and dread looking down the toilet when I’ve been :(

I genuinely feel your pain with this, I’m exactly the same I’m 6+4 and I’m constantly checking for blood when I go for a pee after having 3 losses on the bounce

I had a miscarriage in November, and pregnant again currently 6wks and I’m also shit scared! I’ve also convinced myself something bad is going to happen and sometimes I avoid using the bathroom when I need it just to avoid anything bad. It’s so frustrating that we can’t enjoy our good news xx

I bought new cream/white underwear and got rid of all dark/red ones to be able to spot any pink stains 🧐

@Peanut if you have a EPU near you, you can contact them and get an early scan due to your previous miscarriage x

@Amy I actually had the hospital call me today for my first appointment with the midwife, but I’ve also explained my situation and they told me the same thing to what you said, so I shall be giving them a ring tomorrow first thing in the morning- hoping for some reassurance this time and no disappointment xxx thank you!

I’m like this. I get nervous every time I go for a wee that there’s going to be blood. I’m 6 + 1. No idea when this anxiety will end. Had my first scan at EPU 2 days ago as I’ve had a few miscarriages.

@Beccy how was the scan xx did you see heartbeat xx it’s so scary

@incognito yes did the see the little flickering heartbeat which was reassuring. Every day the chances get better so I’m just going day by day. Got a progesterone supplement and another scan in 2 weeks as I’m high risk

@Beccy did you have an external scan : I just called my epu and they said only with molar and ectopic can we have scans with them so I have contacted my old consultants secretary who delivered my little boy to see if he can help ! Cheeky I know x

First of all do not ever feel stupid writing out your emotions/feelings! They are so valid and I can deffo relate! I’m 8 weeks and previously miscarried before and I can’t help but check everytime . I had spotting couple weeks back too and panicked but there’s acc nothing we can do except remain calm and have good positive faith this will be it as there’s truly nothing no one can do. 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

No it was an internal scan. I’ve asked for progesterone which is why they did the scan, to check it’s in the right place and not ectopic before they prescribe it.

I’m the same don’t worry! I had a miscarriage the first time I got pregnant before having my little one! I was the same with her pregnancy and now this pregnancy! It’s normal to feel anxious especially when you’ve lost before xx

This is my first pregnancy but as it took us 3.5yrs and I have PCOS I’m doing the same - I ended up getting an early reassurance scan to help. It’s reduced my anxiety a lot (I do still check but it’s not all consuming!) so maybe if you can afford to do one that might help? Xo
