Need A Friend

[Lucy529]

I just found out that am pregnant again a year and a half after my ectopic. I am terrified not just because of regular fears after a loss but also because i got pregnant with the same tube where i had my ectopic i only have one tube and one ovary so the pregnancy alone is a miracle a greater miracle is if it made to my uterus and is growing safely.

i was feeling really great about this pregnancy from the time i found out cautious but happy i know that my risks are greater since it's the same tube but after searching Dr. Google, i know i shouldn't, it just scared me even more i coundn't find one case where the person went on to have a regular pregnancy after they "fixed" the tube infact the ones i read all had a recurrent ectopic.

I am sitting here in tears bc i know that if this does not work out am going to be losing my only tube and them am not going to be able to give my husband any kids he is a great man and decerves to be a father he's not even 28 yet i don't want to take that away from him.

i know am ranting but all this just came to my head and it got me thinking then searching and now in tears thinking that this is going to be the same. thanks for reading my rant am just really scared having these little cramps do not help either

Didn't want to read and run, sadly I don't know much about ectopic preg but I do know that fear well it's not good for Bub and I have to keep telling myself that, 6 weeks yesterday and we have a dating scan (early because of my prev miscarriage) so I'm taking it day by day treating my body well eating well resting as much as possible but trying to reduce the stress... It's the only advice I have seeing as I have never made it past 7 weeks... I hope you have a happy healthy nine months and welcome a healthy Bub xx

Thanks so much for your kind words mummabee hope that you too have a healthy and happy nine

So sorry for your loss

Hi Lucy529,

I've had an ectopic pregnancy before, although I didn't need surgery and I still have both tubes. But I was told that due to the scarring in the tube I have a 10% chance of another ectopic. I have fallen pregnant 6 times since then (sadly only two became full term babies), but none were ectopic again.
Pregnancy after any loss is scary stuff.
