Hello everyone,
Three days ago I’ve found out that I am pregnant. I am thinking I am around 3+6 weeks. A year ago I’ve had etopic pregnancy with removal of my left tube.
Since I’ve found out that I am pregnant I am having pain, which comes and goes on the right side that radiating to my hip,groin,back and leg. I am so anxious that could be another etopic pregnancy. I have early scan on Thursday.
Did any of you experience that kind of pain?
Hi Mil92,
A whispered congratulations on the pregnancy, and I’m glad to hear that you’ve scheduled the ultrasound. I know how challenging our future pregnancies can be following ectopic pregnancy. It is also the case that following our ectopic experiences, we may have heightened sensations. Every twinge, pain, and sensation can create anxieties about how the pregnancy is progressing. I would suggest that you keep a pain diary, noting the location and strength of the pain and anything that helped to relieve it. I also believe that women need to advocate for themselves and ask the questions of their GPs. Please feel confident in asking the questions you have, especially if you are feeling increasing pain.
It can be very difficult to quiet our minds, and I hope you can be extra kind to yourself and take things easy during this time. I hope the pain settles as things progress, giving you some additional peace and reassurance.
With good wishes,
Michele

Hi! Would you like to share your story? I hope everything is OK with you!
Hi,
Yes of course. I am 27 + 4 weeks pregnant with baby girl. I’ve had a pain on the same side as my fallopian tube was removed and I’ve been checked at 5 and 8 weeks to rule out etopic pregnancy again. The pain went away around 2nd trimester to be honest - it was coming on and going. They didn’t really explain what was - they thought it might ligament pain.
It was very stressful to be pregnant again and any small pains was worries. My friend also had one etopic pregnancy and second one was fine - she has 1 year old girl. To everyone that might see this post, please do not give up on hope and try. I know mentally is very hard, as I’ve been there and battle with myself, but I am happy that I didn’t give up on hope and now we are waiting for our little princess to come 
I wish every one of you luck and if you have any questions, feel free to ask
