Ectopic Pregnancy

I initially wanted to share more awareness with this post. However, I just feel so numb to the world. My week started absolutely fine although experiencing mild nausea at 6+4. Tuesday morning the same - and off to work I went as normal. Around 2pm the same day I started experiencing an alarming amount of pain and discomfort. For reference, I had sharp stabbing pains in my lower abdomen partially on the right side. Sharp stabbing pain in the tip of my right shoulder. Cold sweats, dizziness ( almost blacking out on two separate occasions) , and extreme nausea which lead to me throwing up multiple times in a short period of time. As I was at work, I was fortunate to see our duty doctor who examined me and advised me to visit A&E. There I underwent a series of tests that all seemed to indicate suspicions of ectopic pregnancy. Fast forward to 12am the same day. I was admitted into hospital for a scan to take place. Wednesday morning around 10am I was taken for a scan which could not pick up anything initially. A internal scan was performed where ectopic pregnancy was confirmed. I was then advised to undergo surgery to remove the pregnancy from my right fallopian tube. I later learned that there was a rupture in the affected fallopian tube which was causing some internal bleeding. The right fallopian tube had to be completely removed. The surgical procedure was booked and performed the same day as it was deemed emergency. I know this post is quite long but I just wanted to share my experience despite it being so saddening. I know many other women have experienced this also. Please how did you get through it. I know that time is the best healer but I just feel absolutely numb.

I’m so sorry 😞 sending so much love and strength xxx

Oh my it sounds horrific and that’s without losing your pregnancy as well.
I’m so sorry sending lots of love xx

I am sorry what your went through,hope you get well ❤️‍🩹 soon

I went though this in January, right tube removal and emergency surgery as well, I’m here if you want to talk to anyone, I’m so sorry you’re going through this, it’s awful😢❤️

Sending you hugs ❤️

I’m so sorry to hear what you went through, physically and mentally. Sending lots of love and wishing you all the best xxxx

I’m so sorry love. Please recover well. Sending you love 💜!

So sorry you've had to go through this! Sending you hugs and healing. This is why i think the nhs should give an early scan to all woman to rule this out as it can be fatal 😔

I'm so sorry for your loss, I had this at Christmas. I was 10 weeks pregnant eith no symptoms at all and I had a rupture, I lost half of thr blood in my body internally and it was the worst experience I've ever suffered from as well as the loss, im currently 6 weeks pregnant with my miracle child as my existing tube moved over to take an egg from my healthy ovary and somehow made it down a very scared almost blocked tube, so don't worry about future pregnancies but also might be worth getting your existing tube checked if your worried, also you'll be on the high risk list not so you can get an early scan as soon as you fall again, again I'm so sorry for your loss and sending love ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you all for your support and kind words, I have been discharged and I am now home trying to recover thank you again for showing me your support 🤍

I am so sorry for your loss and sending you love ❤❤❤

Can you see anything? I’m 12 DPO 🙏

My own opinion is that this is inconclusive (can maybe see a vvvfl but could also be an indent too hard to tell) but curious what others see

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

Best way to be induced??

I just found out I may need to be induced early due to preeclampsia and having a generally bigger baby which of the ways to be induced do y’all recommended?

This is a bit strange.. but hear me out

I am 36 weeks and 4 days today.
I had that feeling, you know when you are trying to take a tampon out on your end of period and it kind of hurts because the tampon is dry? I had that sensation today?

Now I feel like I have to push something about my vagina? It kinda tickles but uncomfortable. I’m not having any pains at all anywhere btw so can’t be baby ??

cheating dream

i need advice but PLS DON'T JUDGE!!!
last night i had a dream, i always used to dream my partner cheating on me with my friends, or being super mean, but since we had our baby those dreams disappeared. for context, we haven't been able to have sex yet, I'm 12 weeks pp, and my pelvic floor is so tense, and it's awful.
last night i had a VERY weird dream, it was so realistic, and different from others, he handed me his phone, and ask me to help him handle this girl, like annoyed? in the chat this girl was super obsessive, and messaged him a lot before he replied. she asked him to sing a song to her, and he sent her a voice message singing it, and other voice messages i couldn't listen in the dream. i wrote her to stop, and she was angry, telling me he started it. then i confronted him about this (still in the dream) and he changed his attitude, he seemed so guilty and said to me he had deleted some messages. i don't remember much else, but i woke up with the URGE of checking his insta messages. we've been together for 5 years, and I've never checked his phone, and neither has he (that i know if, at least) and contained myself, but I'm still very much concerned about it. it felt like an epiphany, a revelation or smth like that. I know people might think I'm overreacting but i can't get it out of my head, it was so specific.
i though about asking him to show me, but i know he'll be bothered that i don't trust him (i would be too in his place), but if he's cheating he would say that to make me feel bad. also i thought about checking his phone in his sleep, and then ask him to see his reaction, but feel so bad, i wouldn't like if he went through my phone without asking, even tho I have nothing to hide.
please, be kind!!
