I'm 8 weeks pregnant, and after 7 years of trying, we're nervous.
Every time I use the bathroom, I check the TP and my underwear for spotting.
Am I crazy?

Oh my god! I did that obsessively! I had a miscarriage with my first pregnancy that involved weeks of spotting, so when the second pregancy came I would check all the time.
You are certainly not crazy. You just want to feel secure about being happy. After 12 weeks you will probably relax a bit.
Congratulatons! and good luck!
Don't lift anything heavy, by the way. I changed a tire in my second month and spotted for 2 days, was convinced I was miscarrying and beat myself up. But, I stayed in bed until it stopped and now have a healthy 5 year old. :)

No you're not crazy. I did that up until I was approx. 14 weeks along. I am not as bad now that I am 21 Weeks along, but it's just a habbit that I look. No matter what, I think that everyone has that thought of miscariage in the back of their mind. Congrats and Good Luck to you!

If you are, then we all are :) When i first found i was pregnant, i had a very physical job and would run to the bathroom about every 45 minutes, just to check and make sure. Good Luck and I'm sure you will be fine

Not at all...I lost my first one, and was absolutely petrified when I got pregnant again. I had had some spotting in the second pregnancy and I was worried sick ( am also Rh negative and had to have rhogam every time I had any bleeding) once you get past the crucial time of 12 weeks...you tend to calm down a little...I did anyways.

no you are'nt crazy. You just want to be sure that every thing is fine and i guess all pregnant ladies do that..to be frank i didnt try to get pregnant and when i was..i still check my panty every time all thru the pregnancy..so i can only understand what you must be going thru...
they say the mind plays a big role..so keep telling yourself that everything will be fine..drink lots of fluids..rest and eat proper and everything will be ok...
all the best to you

You're not crazy! You're worried (and normal!). Most pregnant women do things like this at the beginning!
Just try to relax and know that everything will work out. Besides, stress isn't good for the baby either!
Good luck and congrats!

Nope-- not crazy! I checked every time I used the bathroom, every day of every pregnancy. I had six healthy pregnancies/babies, and 3 miscarriages interspersed between. It's always a possibility, and always there at the back of my mind when I've been pregnant.
Best of luck and congratulations on your pregnancy!

Nope I did the same thing and because I had some light spotting in the first trimester I was freaked out but fortunately it was fine. Just try to take it easy and not stress too much.
