Hi, I am new on here & looking to chat to anyone about ectopic pregnancy & if they have been through it too. I had a miscarriage in April 2019 & I was 12 weeks pregnant. Then two weeks ago I had an ectopic pregnancy & had my Fallopian tube removed & I was 10 weeks pregnant. I am totally devastated, feeling heartbroken, sore and been struggling to do a lot. I never received a lot of information or help from the hospital about ectopic pregnancy which I was annoyed about and so was my husband.
Thanks

Hi ,
I am in the same position, I had a miscarriage in sept 2018 , and I’m currently 6 days post op for ectopic. I don’t think I’ve got the point of processing the loss as it’s been a lot to deal with physically and medically. Although I’m grateful for getting the medical attention I needed and they were great… I feel once your well enough your just sent on your way and there’s no real aftercare for the emotional side of things. Both with the ectopic and the miscarriage. I know at this point there is a 10% chance of reoccurring ectopic and when you look at the 90% chance of having a normal pregnancy 10% seems really small, but it’s still terrifying and I think some help would be beneficial to learn to see things from the view of a 90% chance of a good outcome rather than only seeing the 10% chance of a bad outcome. I feel after having the tube removal I kind of have only one chance left to get my little family and that really scares me.

Hello
I feel the same I had 2 miscarriages last year and just came out of hospital from having a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. It is so scary afterwards. I have come home and just spent most of my evening crying cause I’m scared, confused, worried, I think it is normal.
Sending you lots of love x
Dear Lucy,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and losses,
When we experience ectopic pregnancy we are suddenly faced with a life threatening emergency and it’s treatment, reduction in fertility and the loss of our babies. Experiencing any one of these is an ordeal, putting them together is immense and as you’ve said your feelings are completely normal at this stage.
Please be kind to yourself and allow time to grieve and heal both physically and emotionally.
We will be here for you for as long as you need,
Sending much love,
