Hi all, last night I took a pregnancy test after being a day late for my period, to my surprise it was positive!
I’m 38 years old, had a miscarriage 12 years ago and an ectopic 6 months ago resulting in removal of my left tube. I was convinced it may take us so much longer to conceive again.
I’m feeling good, no pains just feeling sick and worried to my core for obvious reasons.
I’ve been in touch with the EPU and have a scan booked for Monday, I’m hoping for peace of mind the pregnancy is in the correct place but will probably still feel worried.
Looking for reassurance, maybe from women a similar age and experience. Just feeling a bit lost and terrified!
Dear ButterflyGirl83,
Whispered congratulations on your pregnancy.
After an ectopic pregnancy, finding we are pregnant again can be a mix of emotions and I can completely understand your feeling nervous. I remember when I next found out I was pregnant, my mind started racing and I was only really able to relax to some degree after my early scan. It is a nerve-wracking time and you have friends here who understand how you are feeling.
Sending much love and positive thoughts for Monday,
