Anyone else (TMI)??

[Pfeiff99]

I keep running to the bathroom, terrified I'll see blood, only to see, or feel lots of CM. Is this normal? Everything about this time around is freaking me out!

I'm also feeling some pulling sensations on the sides of my lower belly, isn't it too early to be round ligaments? It's not pain at all, just a pulling sensation. Please help a way too nervous mama out!

Yup, more TMI here, but I'll actually pull down my pants a couple times a day (I work from home!) and check because I get a wave of panic that I'm losing the baby. Lots of CM here also.

I feel a little crampy, but I think it's just my digestive system doing its thing and I'm just over exaggerating it.

Same here! I'm wearing my homemade cloth pad liners. I worry every time I "feel" something. Thank goodness I've been okay so far!

Yeah, me too! I have the ligament pain (and have since 5w) and it seems too early to me too but it's there so what can I say? I notice it esp. if I'm tired... weird huh?

When does the obsessive underwear-watching stop??

I am not part of this club, but I had to post.
I had both of these things happen to me in all 3 of my pregnancies. It isnt too early for ligament pain, your bocy begins to swell you cold say and prepare even before baby grows. I also would freak out and rum just to find cm.

I am totally part of this club. The extra CM was one of the reasons that I kept putting off testing. I was sure that every "gush" was AF coming for her visit.

Me too. I've noticed the ligament pain a few times when I'm lying on my side trying to get my toddler to sleep. I thought it was too early also, but it's a very distinctive feeling.

I'm there w/ you guys on both. The 1st time I felt the ligament pain, I would have sworn I tore something. As for the CM...same thing, too. Very frustrating on both counts.

[kblue]

I had ligament pain even before I tested. It was my first symptom of pregnancy.

I try not to worry too much, but it's hard! Every litle tinge or tightness down there makes me wonder if something is wrong...

[Mimi37]

Kathi, I'm right there with you. Lots of CM, and I feel it, and worry every time.

And speaking of TMI, this has gone on more than once in our home:
Me: Oh. Uh-oh. [puzzled, worried, thoughtful look]
DH: What?
[pause]
Me: OH, whew.
DH: Dude, did you just stick your hand down your pants??
Me: I'm pregnant! I can be weird!

Happily, he agrees.

[chalynm]

You're a riot!

[Pfeiff99]

OH, this made me feel SO much better, thanks for the laugh and the normalcy check! Mimi, you are hysterical, and I've had eearily similar conversations with DH! I think until I'm holding this little bean in my arms the panic striken, underware checking, obsessive symptom counting will continue!
