I was 6 weeks pregnant but it was ectopic. The first I knew of this was when the Fallopian tube ruptured on Tuesday and I had emergency surgery. They removed the tube and as I had lost a lot of blood I also had a large blood transfusion. It was all so painful and terrifying.
I'm out of hospital now but feel so shell-shocked about the whole thing. I'm in so much pain that at the moment I'm focusing on that although I know the loss of my baby will hit me properly later.
If anyone else has been in this position I wondered if you could please help me with some questions?
How long was it until the pain subsided to a bearable level? I still can't stand up straight, how long did it take for you?
I am still suffering with the trapped gas from the surgery, which rises to my shoulders and is excruciating. How long was it until this dispersed?
If you also had a tube removed and went on to conceive again, did it take a long time? How long did you take to recover between the surgery and ttc?
I had a very painful birth and recovery with dc1 and the pain I'm in now is bringing all that back again. I can't imagine putting myself in this position again, I can't take more pain like this. But I would desperately like dc2. I am just so sad and angry, really, that this has happened to me.
