Happy but scared

Hello all

I had an ep 23rd january 2018, had to have emergency surgery to remove my tube as it had already burst through and i was bleeding internally.

Fast forward a year and i recently found out im pregnant again i have my 5/6 weeks scan this thursday 24th.

Im excited and very happy im pregnant but i cant help but think its going to happen again :frowning:

I dont remember having any pregnancy symtoms last year with my ep. As i get sore boobs and the blue vien ( which are my 2 signs) i have 2 children already 7&4, im hoping this is a good sign. Also very bloated. My hair is horrible lol

Every small pain im on edge and thinking the worst. My partner is so happy but with me more worried than happy/excited. I booked my scan 2 weeks ago so the wait has been long for me personally, ive googled,searched on chances of having another again. I understand it goes up once u have an ep, but to have 2 in a row…

But be wonderful to hear some sucess stories.

Dear Tweet88,

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. It is perfectly normal to feel scared after the ordeal you have endured. I also felt twinges and aches after my ectopic pregnancy, particularly when I next felt 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 a friend here who understands how you are feeling.

Personally, I had an ectopic pregnancy which was treated with methotrexate. I went on to have 2 successful pregnancies. I hope this helps a little, but I know it’s going to be a difficult time waiting for your scan

Sending much love and positive thoughts,

Karen x
