Ectopic pregnancy

Hey everyone!
Just needed somewhere where I could express my feelings..

I'm 22 & I've had 3 pregnancies, 1 being successful and she's 16months old. I had a miscarriage in January at 5wks and then fell pregnant again in March, sadly I've had an ectopic pregnancy and was around 7wks, I had ruptured inside & had no bleeding when I used the toilet though (sorry tmi) so never thought that the abdominal pains I was suffering from could of even been linked to having an ectopic.Sad
I had to have surgery as soon as possible and now I'm in recovery, unsure of if one of my tubes had to be taken out yet, as my notes regarding surgery haven't been typed up yet. I will find out later today how it all went.

Just finding it really hard and I'm finding this absolutely devastatingSad I just can't stop crying.
Has anyone else experienced this? And if so, how did you get through it?

Thank you, char x

So sorry to hear that you have lost your pregnancy like this. I had an ectopic pregnancy requiring emergency surgery and removal of my tube. It was a huge shock and took a while to get over physically and psychologically. I then had a missed miscarriage that was managed medically, completely unrelated to the ectopic pregnancy and just bad luck. Happily I went on to have a successful pregnancy after this. You will need to give yourself some time to process what has happened and grieve for your loss as well as recover from the operation. X

I went for counselling after the miscarriage, I wasn't ready to do it straight away but it really helped to talk through what had happened, how I felt and really decide what I wanted to do about trying for another baby.

@Canigoonroblox I'm sorry to hear that too, that must've been a lot to take inSad I'm very glad that you managed to have a successful pregnancy at the end of it & I will definitely take some time to come to terms with what's happened and will hopefully be in a positive mindset a few weeks from now x

Also, counselling doesn't sound like a bad idea. Yeah I can understand you not doing it straight away, I'll see how I cope with it once I'm out of hospital & if I'm not coping well, I'll get myself some counselling x
