Pregnant and Terrified

Pregnant After Ectopic Pregnancy
1

Hi Everyone!

In March 2016, I was rushed into hospital for an emergency operation to remove a ruptured ectopic pregnancy at 14 weeks!!! Obviously my tube was removed and I was told there was a bit of damage and scarring that could cause problems for me if I ever wanted to get pregnant again!

I’ve not tried since because I was always so scared that I would have another ectopic or a miscarriage and never felt I could put myself through it again, however I’ve just found out I’m pregnant! I’m roughly 4 weeks, I have an appointment for an ultrasound next week to make sure everything is as it should be but I am 100% completely terrified!

Has anyone been through or going through something similar? What was your experience?

Thanks in advance

Hi there. I think a lot of us have been through something similar. Although my ectopic didn’t rupture (was picked up on a private scan I’d paid for at 6.5 weeks) The baby had a heartbeat and they felt the best option was to operate and so they removed my right tube. It was traumatic and I felt sure I’d never try for a baby again. Five months after the loss my husband and I started trying again. I wasn’t ready to try prior to this. Anyway after four months of trying I fell pregnant again. My recent scan shows the pregnancy is in the right place! Lots of people on here have suffered an ectopic and then gone on to have babies with no problems. Good luck to you and I hope your scan goes well xxx
