8 weeks pregnant after ectopic in July

[jessica716]

Hi Ladies,

Just a random post really.

Had an ectopic in july (i was 12 weeks when i found out) and lost my right tube.

I'm now 8 weeks pregnant, saw beans heartbeat on an early epu scan at 6 weeks but i'm so worried that something is going to go wrong.

Not got my next scan for another 5 weeks and it seems so long away after now not seeing bean for 2 weeks already.

Is anyone else worrying? I'm at the point now where i am contemplating paying for a private scan just to check bean is still ok....

Hiya

First congrats and welcome to the board.

My last PG before this was ectopic, I was lucky didnt lose my tube, I had methotrexate, we had a rest for 3 months and then got lucky first month of trying again.

The worry doesnt go away probably never will, just try and relax at least you know baby is in right place xx

Hi Jess,

As you already know, I understand exactly how you feel. I want to be happy about my BFP, but it's like i just can't allow myself, in case it's taken away from me again. So frustrating, cos its all i've wanted for months and now i'm there the worry is ruining it for me. I'll be five weeks tomorrow - first scan is on the 27th Oct. Don't think i'll relax until i see that bubs is in the right place - this is going to be the longest two weeks of my life!!!

I'm also freaking out because my bbs are nowhere near as sore as they were in previous pregnancies. Maybe it's because i found out i'm pregnant a week earlier than the others???

Let me know how you get on at your next scan, or if you decide to go private.

Love L.x

Hi there

please help put my mind at rest... I had an ectopic 18months ago and to be honest after my second week of finding out I was pregnant I was in lots of pain so by 6weeks I couldn't walk and the scan found I was bleeding internaly. I had emergency surgery and lost my left tube..

I have since had 3 miscarrages and am now 5week and 5days pregnant..

My big worry is the doctor is giving me an early scan next week but I am, to say the very least frightend to death that they are going to tell me it is in my remaining tube... I have not had lots of pain but I feel now I am starting to imagine it... we go on holiday to Greece the same day as my scan too...

How soon did you get the pains ? Do you think if it was in my tube I would have been in pain by now like the other one?

Arghhhhhhhhh xxxxx

i thought mine was another ectopic this time...turns out its not and that the pains were nothing more than normal pains with my body changing.

I had a 4.5 scan and bean in right place although not much to see and at 6 weeks saw a heartbeat.

The midwife said if it was an ectopic you are unlikely to get pains before 6/7 weeks as bean is not big enough to cause damage to the tube and thats wat normally causes the pain. i didnt get pain or bleeding until 10 weeks with my ectopic.

I know its hard not to worry, i'm still sure that something may go wrong again, but there is nothing worrying can do.

I hope your scan goes well and bean is in the right place,

If you need to talk pm me if you want xx

Hi,

I'm 5 weeks preg today. I lost my right tube due to an ectopic in march. I've been cramping too and at first i was freaking out a bit, but like Jessica says i think its just my body adjusting. Funny thing is, since i calmed down a bit the cramps haven't been so bad, i think half of it is in my head. I don't get my first scan until the 27th, the wait is killing me, but i'm determined to stay positive. Take care of yourself sweetie and best wishes for your scan next week.

L.x

Thank you so much... I will let you know how the scan goes tomorrow I'm still very scared but it's better to know... I will let you know how I get on.
Lots of love...

I've booked in for a private scan this Thursday when I'll be 9 weeks. Saw baby in right place and heartbeat at 6 weeks but not got date for propper scan yet as booking in appointment is only next Tuesday. I just decided I would feel reassured and if my scan ended up been nearer to 14 weeks I would be beside myself. x

 

[jessica716]

hey huni, i've been thinking along the same lines, i dont get paid until 25th though but if my scan is going to be more than 2 weeks after then im goin to get a private one too.

Thinking about possibly buying a doppler too once i'm 10 weeks...not sure if this would be reassuring or more of a worry though

Hope you're all ok
