I found out that I’m pregnant, 18 months after my ectopic I had almost given up. Now I am I’m terrified, every cramp or twinge I’m wondering is it happening again. I’m 5-6 weeks I have my first scan in four days I am hopeful everything will be ok but can’t help worrying x
Dear Becca,
Whispered congratulations! We understand that fear of getting your hopes up and guilt for not being as excited as you feel you should be so well. Sadly, when we have been through an ectopic pregnancy it is totally normal to be focussed on ‘oh my gawd, it better be in the right place’ and ‘what will I do if I lose my other tube’ and the pressure of waiting for the scan is beyond words. I was exactly the same and it is totally normal to feel that way.
I have everything crossed for your scan. They are doing it at the right time as It is hard to see anything before this date. Hopefully there will be a heartbeat at your scan but don’t be alarmed if not, it is right on the cusp of being too early and we don’t all ovulate the same point in our menstrual cycle so it is not unusual to be asked to come back in a week. This happened to me too and everything was okay.
Best wishes,
EPT Host 13

Hi Becca
Whispered congrats. I’m in exactly same position as you - waiting for scan after ectopic last Sept. Half of me already planning how to paint the nursery and drawing up shortlist of names, other half saying ‘calm down and get through the first hurdle’. I think you might have had your scan by now, I’m keeping everything crossed that it showed that all is well.
My scan next Tues. Hoping this week will go quickly!
Be kind to yourself.
Big hugs
