i'm gonna post this about ectopic not to scare you, but just so you are aware should you have any of these symptoms. if you do, don't wait for another scan, go to the ER.
Ectopic Pregnancy
An ectopic pregnancy is a life-threatening condition that requires emergency treatment. It predominantly occurs when the embryo implants in one of the fallopian tubes instead of the uterus. Rarely, the embryo can attach to an ovary or other abdominal organs. An ectopic pregnancy is most likely to occur within the first few weeks of pregnancy and is usually discovered by the 8th week of pregnancy.
How Common Is Ectopic Pregnancy?
An ectopic pregnancy is estimated to occur in up to 1 out of every 50 pregnancies.
What Are the Symptoms of an Ectopic Pregnancy?
Common symptoms include:
Light vaginal bleeding
Nausea and vomiting
Lower abdominal pain
Sharp abdominal cramps
Pain on one side of the body
Dizziness or weakness
Pain in the shoulder, neck, or rectum
If the fallopian tube ruptures, the pain and bleeding could be severe enough to cause fainting.
If you are experiencing the symptoms listed above, contact your health care provider right away and go to the emergency room. Getting to the hospital immediately is important to reduce the risk of hemorrhaging (severe bleeding) and to preserve your fertility.
a few days after i saw the doc for 1st blood test, he then arranged for a 2nd blood test
the day after that (xmas eve night) i was rushed to hospital with severe pain in stomach and i was holding my jogging bottoms away from my stomach as even they were hurting mewhen they touched my stomach
they did more blood tests and ruled out ectopic and confirmed mc
i then saw my doc again on 29th dec and he agreed but because i still had pains and nausea etc thats why he called to bring my ultrasound scan forward
i even mentioned mc/ectopic to lady today at the scan - she said it wasnt ectopic
