ocd fear and the bathroom!

ok just a worried pregnant lady hoping its not just me!
heres my problem/question.
Everytime i go to the bathroom i have the uncontrollable urge to seriously inspect the toilet paper i used,looking for the tiniest sign of blood discharge ANYTHING that would show a possible misscarriage or some other horrid thing saying somethings wrong with me or the baby!
i cant stop myself its horrid@!
please tell me im not the only one who does this? lol

I check even when I'm not pregnant. Even as gross as it sounds, you tell a lot by that. My period wasn't always regular nor would I always have warning signs. I catch it that way...

Same here!  I am 28w2d and check EVER SINGLE TIME. At this point I am not only checking for blood, but other signs of early labor as well.  I get confused with the stretching I am feeling "down yonder" and the pains of preterm labor.  With my condition I am at high risk for preterm, that is why I am SO EXCITED to know that after this week I will be going to see my doc EVERY two weeks instead of every 4!!  4 weeks is a LONG time to wait.  =)

i am a freak everytime i pee!  i am in my 11th week and am a little more relaxed now (but still check tp and toilet), but i remember weeks 4-7 i was an obsessed nut!  whenever i would feel a squish (sorry!) of cm, i ran in the bathroom to be sure it wasn't blood!  then the day that i did have brown spotting, i about had an anxiety attack and researched blood and miscarriages all day on the internet (turned out being fine/old blood).  anyway, pregnancy makes you nutty!  and i started out a bit nutty so now i am super loopy!  i think it will be even worth when i have my little newborn!!!!  you are in good company, girl!  ;-)

i am 21 weeks on wednesday and I still check.  I had some spoting at about 15 weeks and it scared the hell out of me, but my little man is doing perfectly fine.

It's completely normal, i'm 9+ weeks pregnant, and do it all the time. I'm paranoid about a m/c. If you go to babycenter.com to their pregnancy boards, check out confessions, and you'll see dozens of women do it too!

A healthy 9 mo. to you!

Nah, we all check. When I was pregnant I tried to not do that, just a quick glance and then not dwell on it. Because bleeding in pregnancy does not always warrant a concern.

So try to enjoy this time! Your little one will probably be okay!
