questions after an etopic:(

[mummyof3babas]

Im 1 week post op, i had the copper coil iud in so came as a huge shock when i was rushed into hospital with extreme pain, it never once crossed my mind that i was pregnant considering i had only come off my period 1 week before!, well i found out by scan i was 6 weeks along but my little angel was in my left tube and had died and my tube had burst rushed to theature for removal of my tube and baby and had severe internal bleeding, after 2 hrs of surgery all was well, sent home the following day and now recovering with a few questions as i wasnt sent home with nothing,, when did u bath? iv been told to take showers to clean wounds, and when did u get back to dtd, as i know its early yet but im feeling fine phyically apart frm the wounds being a lil stingy,?

Hi, were both from Wolverhampton i see, sorry about your ectopic,i had an ectopic a year ago and lost my left tube. I dont have a bath but i was having showers a couple of days afterwards and everything was fine, I did get an infection in my belly button wound and had to go to the doctors as my stitches hadnt dissolved! I remeber feeling sore for about two weeks and went back to work after three weeks i think we probably dtd after three weeks as i just didnt feel like it and i was bleeding for a while after.

Aww sorry about ur loss , well my stitches still havnt disolved:/ iv been taking showers but baths calm me so really wanted one since leaving the hospital, tbh im struggling more emotionally because i had the coil i didnt expect to fall pregnant so when i was told i was i was coming round to the idea of having another little one then when the etopic was confirmed it just tore me apart

Sorry to hear of your loss. Showering is better than baths but bath should be ok after 2 weeks or so.
