Pregnant After Ectopic Pregnancy
21

Dear Son2020,

Whispered congratulations on your pregnancy.

I am glad to see you have your early pregnancy scan is booked. Discomfort and twinges can certainly be normal with subsequent pregnancies, and whilst I do not wish to alarm I do sadly have to remind you to seek urgent medical advice with any worsening pain, bleeding, shoulder too pain or you feel dizzy and unwell.

I wish I had more tips on how to make the time pass more quickly as I vividly remember it going so slowly waiting for my scan. Try to keep your mind busy, read, watch a box set in your spare time.

Sending much love and positive thoughts,

Karen x

I had my scan today at 6+3 and the pregnancy is in the right place and there was a visible heartbeat. I’m feeling very tearful! She said congratulations and you out of the woods, but having had a miscarriage at 12 weeks I can only take it one step at a time. I had my hospital bag with me and everything. It’s strange. Maybe I’ll relax at 20 weeks. I feel like I don’t want to tell anybody. But I hope that this might help some people, because I had aches and twinges where the ectopic was on the right and there was nothing there at all on the scan. I ovulated on the left as I thought. I had expectant management, and it took three months of trying and I’m 38. Best of luck to everyone xx
