trying to come to terms with an ectopic pregnancy

[ljbx3]

I'm at home recovering from an ectopic pregnancy in which my right tube was removed during surgery. I fell pg while I had the coil fitted so came as such a shock. I had a previous ectopic 5 yrs ago on the same tube but had no treatment as it resolved itself. I'm finding it so hard to come to terms with not just the loss of a baby but the removal of my tube and the thought of any future pregnancy being more difficult. I have 3 healthy children and for that I am so grateful. My first born son was born sleeping at 32 weeks when I was just 18 yrs old. Losing this baby feels just as painfull. I desperately want another child in the near future but am absolutely petrified of going through this again. My partner has been so understanding in this but bless him how can he understand from a women's point of view that part of her womanhood has been taken. Has anyone fallen pregnant and had a successful pregnancy after an ectopic?

yup, I had three healthy dc's after an ectopic (not all at the same time )

The first pregnancy after the ectopic was a bit scary but I relaxed once the first scan showed everything normal.

Sorry for your sad loss.

So sorry for your loss. What a lot to go through
I had an ectopic pregnancy and tube removed in 2011 and (very unexpectedly!) discovered I was pregnant last year and had a beautiful baby boy. I did phone nhs24 as soon as I took the test in a panic and got an emergency 1am appointment at EPU! And had lots of scans every other week till 12 weeks.
Took so long to get over though, and I still think of that pregnancy every day.

So sorry for your loss. It is a very painful loss to go through. I had my ectopic in 2011 and had my right tube removed. I hope that this gives you strength and hope because I did fall pregnant again 9 months later and I now have a gorgeous boy. when I found out I was pregnant I insisted on an early scan because of my history and to reduce the worry! Hang in there xxx
