I was exactly the same! And I daresay I will be next time until I know everything is ok. I think its a natural reaction. Its easy to say don't worry but its hard to do.
Yes! I still have a moment of dread the first time I go to the toilet every day. And I have lower back cramps still, so I worry after I've had a cramp. I think my worry is starting to taper off a little (when I first got the lower back cramp, I was sure it was all over, but actually seeing no spotting or bleeding has reassured me that it must be normal).
And the circle completes itself!!!! Now I'm getting scared to wipe again in case AF rears its ugly head again..... Have been getting some bloody mucus lately. Damn it!! I thought breastfeeding was supposed to keep it at bay for months!!
Of course - by 38 weeks you'll be hoping to wipe and see some!
Me too. Always. Through my entire pregnancy with Olivia and through this pregnancy I was always concious of wiping, and always looked, slightly filled with trepidation.
I mentioned it to my SIL once (who is a nurse, so I expected her to think I was mad) and she said she was exactly the same through both of her two pregnancies as well..........
I was like you too Fi, scared of getting AF back LOL! But also now whilst TTC I am scared of wiping around AF time, so I wonder when I'll go back to not caring LOL!
Glad to know I'm certainly, most definately not the only one. This is still my number one fear and was certainly not helped by the fact that I did have the light bleeding around 9wks.
Misty, I have that fear too! So I spend AGES on the loo, rather than push hard and be done with it. It keeps me placated, can't ask for more than that 8-[
