Pregnant after ectopic and terrified

Pregnant After Ectopic Pregnancy
1

Hi ladies

I had an ectopic pregnancy (my first pregnancy) in January 2014 and had my right tube removed. I took a long time to get over it but just found out on Sunday that I am pregnant again. Initially I felt happy but I’m now terrified that it will all happen again. I only have my left tube remaining and have had some discomfort on my left hand side over the past few days. I went to Gp today and have to await my early scan in a couple of weeks. I can’t go through it again, especially if this time I lose my tube or even if I don’t any treatment will mean I’m even more prone to it happening again. Each hour feels like days at the moment and I just can’t cope - I have cramps, discomfort (not pain) on my left hand side and discomfort lower in my vagina too. Any stories to give me hope, or any comments would mean so much xxx

Hi. Just wanted to say good luck and I hope everything goes well the second time around. The odds are in your favour but I appreciate how your feeling and it’s completely normal to be so worried after what you have been through. Xx

I’ve recently been through this and have just had my pregnancy confirmed in the right place. I am still getting discomfort although it is less terrifying now I’ve had my scan! Think abt all the scar tissue you have since your surgery! However if the pain gets worse or changes go straight in! You’ll know what’s right and what doesn’t feel right… Good luck

Had a scan today and it’s in the right place - what a relief! Pain is my ovary which is swollen but I’ll worry about that another day I’m just so glad the pregnancy got down my tube ok! Thanks for all the support
