Dear Sunshinewalk88,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and losses. To experience one loss is difficult to deal with multiple losses is heartbreaking and my heart truly goes out to you.
I haven’t had to take the tablets so cannot give you an account on a personal level. The nurses/doctors/midwives on the EPU, will be best place to answer your questions on taking the tablets and I’m sure will offer any support and advice you require.
I know that when I had my ectopic pregnancy I also looked for a reason and almost automatically we tend to blame ourselves. From the bottom of my heart, there is nothing you could have done to prevent the ectopic pregnancy or this recent loss from happening. I cannot emphasise enough - you are not to blame.
There is no time frame for how long it takes us to heal emotionally and it is completely normal to feel anxious about the future. We will never forget our pregnancies or babies but we can learn to accept what has happened and crucially understand that it wasn’t our fault. Please be kind to yourself and I send you gentle hugs x
We will be here for you for as long as you need, and I will be thinking of you tomorrow,
Sending much love and warm hugs,
Karen x
