Pregnant after cornual ectopic/tube removal uterus resection

Hello all. I’m new. I posted in another forum but was suggested this one as well. I just had surgery for a cornual ectopic pregnancy and uterus resection. THey took my right tube and section of my uterus. I was left with both working ovaries, left tube and dr said that my insides looked healthy and I shouldn’t have any issues having a future pregnancy.

Has anyone had tube removal, uterus resection after a cornual ectopic and went on to have a successful pregnancy ? I was told to wait six months for the uterus to heal but I just need reassurance that having a baby is possible after this kind of ectopi and surgery?

Hello,

I suffered the exact same ectopic as yourself 3 years ago, and I now have a very healthy baby boy who is just coming up 1 and a half!

My pregnancy with him was stressful at first as I wa every paranoid that he would be ectopic, I was consultant lead and they were very good with scanning me early and keeping a close eye on me.

My pregnancy was very normal, everything went fine. Due to the surgery and the ectopic I had a c section 4 weeks before his due date as to keep my womb from rupturing. I went into the hospital for steroid injections to bring my little ones lungs on before birth, my iron levels were low so I had to have a blood transfusion before hand but other than that everything was fine.

I went in for my section and it was a relaxed environment considering you’re laid on an operating table ready to have a baby. When my little one arrived my partner held him however he did struggle to breath slightly with his lungs being only just developed. They put a little mask on him and took him down to special care for a few hours as he had mucus on his lungs. The staff were brilliant and I had him back within 6 hours, and he is my perfectally healthy little rainbow baby!

Have hope and give your body time to heel, but yes it is possible! :slight_smile: xxxx

I had two ectopics, one tubal and one cornual. Two emergency surgeries, a lot of tears, some therapy, loads of supplements and time and I’m holding my sleeping four month old right now.

It was scary when I got pregnant and even when I found out it was intrauterine I was afraid of losing it, afraid something would go wrong. We didn’t really buy much or prepare because I couldn’t cope with the idea of it not working and having to come home to baby stuff. I had to have a section and knew that from the beginning but it was almost healing. The same doctor who did my two other surgeries delivered my baby. He was so supportive the entire journey and it was amazing to be awake and not in an emergency and heart breaking situation in the theatre. Our baby’s middle name is our drs last name to honour him!

So there is hope on thIs bumpy road. Wishing you all the best! X

Thank you ladies for your encouraging stories. I’m just terrified of not being able to have a baby because of this, but hearing your stories has given me some hope to look forward to.

Hello ! Thank you so much for opening that topic 5 years ago. I’m going through it now myself… Seeing the responses in the thread give me hope. How did it go for you since then? I send you all my support.
