Hello
In January I had an ectopic pregnancy that was treated with medication.
I am now 4+5. I have an early scan booked in for 6 weeks.
I’m experiencing little twinges and niggles in the ectopic side.
The pain I’m feeling now is absolutely nothing to what I experienced before. I’m not sure if it’s just worry, to be expected or the start of another ectopic.
Did anyone else experience this but went on to have a normal pregnancy
Hi Jojow999,
I’m so sorry to hear you are going through this worrying time. Please ensure you receive the care and advice of medical professionals during this early pregnancy. While I’m not medically qualified to comment on your particular situation, I’ve been through two ectopic pregnancies myself, and I know how much anxiety can accompany an early pregnancy.
It’s impossible to control the outcomes. As much as possible, try to take one day at a time and see how your pregnancy is progressing. Early pregnancy is particularly stressful, and that’s why it’s so important to create some space to look after yourself.
As you’ve mentioned, it’s important to be aware of any pain or changes in sensations. I encourage you to keep working with the medical providers and ask all and any questions about the best pathway for your care. I’m sending good thoughts your way and hoping for better news for you this time. Please know we are here for as long as you need.
With good wishes,
Michele
